She’s wrong.

In this gripping sequel to The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer, the truth evolves and choices prove deadly. What will become of Mara Dyer next?


Review:

Hours after I finished reading it, and I'm still trying to understand what I think of this book.
I obviously kind of liked it. But not as much as I wished.
It was creepy, sexy, sad, sweet, annoying, frustrating, tense, mysterious, interesting and much more. I also liked the dreams/memories. And it was interesting reading some of the facts by Noah's point of view. And some important things started to get revealed, finally. But I felt like something was missing. Something that keeps me from loving this book like I usually love others. And Mara and Noah's relationship is kind of difficult and frustrating. Although kind of sweet and passionate. I wonder when they'll finally get some peace and some time to love each other like they deserve.
Very frustrating was Mara's family. I hate it when people can't see and accept the truth because it's easier not to believe.
I also didn't like some of Noah's reactions or behaviours. But I also wasn't really happy about Mara's either some times.
Daniel was kind of sweet as usual, though he also got on my nerves at least once in this book.
Phoebe creeped me out. Jude was uterly insane and evil incarnate. Stella was nice. Jamie was confusing but kind of okay.
I'm still trying to understand who the bad guys are, beside Jude. And I still have more questions than I'd like.
All in all, a good read. But not impressive.
And the cliffhanger is gonna kill me until october. Michelle Hodkin, you're a sadist!
