Since I’m obviously not working on my own book, I thought I’d
give kudos to a book I recently finished devouring. It was a tasty treat.
The Evolution of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin is the sequel
to The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer.
It’s been a while since I finished the first book, so I don’t
recall all the details. I can say I’ve been waiting with baited breath for the
next installment and I was not disappointed.
I am wrapped in Mara’s character and growth. She starts as
an unsure self-loathing character and I literally rose with the character.
She moved from unsure and weak, unable to control events,
herself, and dependent on others to suddenly realizing she is strong (I was at
the edge of my seat when she pushed Jude into the wall bringing everything down
intentionally). I was cheering her on, encouraging her to crush and be strength
and vengeance. I know, I know…don’t say anything. By the last page when Mara
feels “something dormant kick to life” I was literally standing up screaming, “Yes!”
The whole book is so well written. From character development
to word choice and musical descriptions. The last two pages leave the reader
grasping on to the book.
The story takes twists that I never saw coming which is
something I admire greatly in writing.
Wonderful story plot, enticing characters, inner struggles
we can relate with, descriptions, sappy love…it is all perfect and well-rounded
with just enough darkness.
The tiger is out of the cage and I cannot wait for Mara to
bring them down like the asylum walls.
Start with Unbecoming
and prepare to be hooked. Then pick up Evolution and prepare to have a
ride with a victorious splash down.
