Today I'll be reviewing the first two books from The Mara Dyer Trilogy by Michelle Hodkin, The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer and The Evolution of Mara Dyer.
The story follows Mara, a seventeen-year-old girl who is a survivor of an accident that killed her best friend, her ex-boyfriend, and her boyfriend's sister. Mara is trying to remember what happened on the day of the accident, as she does not remember the events of the accident. Mara experiences hallucinations and nightmares as she tries to uncover the details of the event. This book made me feel like I was going insane which I think was what the author was trying to do. I whizzed past the two books in a couple of days.
While the plot line was very dark and twisted, the book was very witty and I related to Mara a lot in the first book. She's a very different protagonist and I really enjoyed the dialogue between her and the other characters. I especially love the relationship between Mara and her brother Daniel, they have such a strong and sweet relationship.
I definitely recommend these books! It's a very creepy yet funny book which I think is a very unique mix. I can't decide which book I liked better as they were both very interesting and unique. It took me a while to get into The Evolution of Mara Dyer and some scenes just made me feel bored. I started to find Mara and Noah more annoying in the second book as well. However, The Evolution of Mara Dyer had so many intense and amazing scenes towards the end.
Both books were spectacular and I hope you guys enjoyed this book review.
Thank you for reading!
