The Evolution of Mara Dyer - Michelle Hodkin

Synopsis: Mara Dyer once believed she could run from her past.
She can’t.
She used to think her problems were all in her head.
They aren’t.
She couldn’t imagine that after everything she’s been through, the boy she loves would still be keeping secrets.
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? (From Goodreads)

What impresses me so much about Michelle Hodkin's writing is the way that she's so ambiguous about sanity. I usually think Mara is sane and there are crazy things happening to her, but other times I'm like...is she actually making all of this up in her head...??? I have no idea. And that's what makes this book awesome and so different from other books out there. Plus, even if she's making everything up - it's still freaking intense and scary.

So I freaked out a lot while reading this. For two main reasons. One. The creepiness. Things dying, things chasing her, people stalking, creepy dolls. Seriously, holy snicklefritz. Most of the things that go down in this book give me shivers and make me want to curl up in the corner and cry a little.

The second reason? Duh. NOAH. This boy just gets dreamier every time he opens his mouth. And says lovely, sometimes scandalous, things with his British accent. He may be one of the swooniest boys ever. Ever. Always want more Noah.

If you loved Unbecoming don't hesitate to pick up Evolution. It lives up to book one and then some. I'm cutting this short to avoid spoiler territory. All I can say is - it's fantastic. I love it. Read it.

P.S. Watch the trailer. Especially if you love Noah, or if you need to be convinced to start reading these books and want to love Noah.
