The Mara Dyer Series by Michelle Hodkin - Reading from 'The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer (Mara Dyer #1)' from June 2nd 2019

[Krystal]

Book 2

Up to chapter 4. (view spoiler)[ Okay, so, they found Jude's hands, but not the rest of the body? You are telling me that someone in the collapse, his hands were detached from his arms, yet somehow flew so far away that they couldn't find any of his body? I don't see how that makes sense. (hide spoiler)]

[Krystal]

Up to chapter 17. (view spoiler)[ So her grandmother had the same power. I can see why she killed herself, as she would have been so terrified of hurting someone by accident. (hide spoiler)]

[Krystal]

Up to chapter 29. I'm really surprised to took Mara that long to figure it out about the memories.

[Krystal]

Up to chapter 64. Wow. Those are the only words.

[Krystal]

Also, I can't believe it took Mara so long to connect those particular dots about (view spoiler)[Jude and Phoebe (hide spoiler)]

[Krystal]

Finished. (view spoiler)[ So of course I don't think Noah is dead, even with the prediction "coming true". (hide spoiler)] This book has only gotten better and better! I'm so glad there is a third to wrap everything up.

[Jennifer]

Yes! I really enjoyed it too and started the 2nd book last night!

Chapters 34-50"

That would be such a twist if it (view spoiler)[were of Mara's mom and not her grandmother!!!!!!! (hide spoiler)]

I'm so glad to have found this buddy read and found this hidden gem of a series!!!!

[Jennifer]

We can buddy read the second one if you want. I can wait.

[Krystal]

Third book has been placed on hold, arg!!! Have to wait until it is tranferred to my closer library.

[Krystal]

Jena wrote: "We can buddy read the second one if you want. I can wait."

I just finished the 2nd one. Maybe by the time you finish the 2nd one and I get the 3rd one from the library, we can BR the 3rd one?

[Jennifer]

That sounds great! I also purchased the 2 Noah Shaw books. Let’s stay in touch. ✌🏻

Absolutely, lets!

[Courtney]

Starting a little early.

Chapter 1 (view spoiler)[ This was creepy. (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Chapter 6 (view spoiler)[ Hallucinations? This cant be good. (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Chapter 28 (view spoiler)[ Mara's reaction to "The Joy of Sex" was funny. (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Chapter 38 (view spoiler)[ Jamie got expelled! Stupid Aiden and Anna. (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Chapter 44 (view spoiler)[ Joseph is missing. I wonder how Noah knew that something was wrong with Joseph. (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Chapter 50 (view spoiler)[ So Mara killed Claire, Rachel, and Jude? (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Finished (view spoiler)[ So Jude is still alive? Im so confused. (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Chapter 16 (view spoiler)[ That would suck to keep seeing your dead friends and getting caught in hallucinations. Or maybe Mara is haunted? Either way, functioning like that would be near impossible. I wonder what really happened when they died (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Aly wrote: "Chapter 16 [spoilers removed]"

I cant even imagine dealing with that.

[Aly]

Chapter 29 (view spoiler)[ Hopefully Noah actually likes Mara and won't dump her like the other girls. They're cute together (hide spoiler)]

[Aly]

Courtney wrote: "Chapter 38 [spoilers removed]"

I know! I was so mad about that

[Aly]

Chapter 45 (view spoiler)[ Woah! That was crazy! I wonder if Joseph was kidnapped because someone wants Mara's dad to drop the murder case. This is a lot different from what I thought it would be (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Aly wrote: "Chapter 45 [spoilers removed]"

I wasnt expecting this book to be like this either.

[Aly]

Finished (view spoiler)[ I really thought she was being haunted. I wonder how she got her power. And Jude isn't dead, so did he follow her? Hmm. Maybe I'll have ti read the next one (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Aly wrote: "Finished [spoilers removed]"

The ending was so confusing.

[Claire]

Oh wow you guys were fast 😂

I'll be starting it either today or tomorrow!

[Courtney]

Claire wrote: "Oh wow you guys were fast 😂

I had time to kill. I will stay to discuss with you though.

[Jennifer]

Starting book 2 this week.

[Claire]

Chapter 10:
(view spoiler)[I love a good mystery, can't wait to see how it unravels!

I've been craving a nice cliche-filled YA recently and this is definitely doing the trick. Noah Shaw reads like a 21st century Will Herondale and I love him <3 (hide spoiler)]

[Claire]

Chapter 34:
(view spoiler)[Wow, this is giving me MAJOR Twilight vibes, not necessarily in a bad way though.

Noah definitely falls into the category of 'if-he-wasn't-hot-he-would-be-a-massive-creeper'.

The whole asylum collapse thing is reminding me so much of Little Monsters. (hide spoiler)]

[Claire]

Chapter 49:
(view spoiler)[Drugs, not even once 😂

I can't believe they actually got attacked by alligators in a swamp in Florida, it's so many stereotypes, I found it unintentionally hilarious. (hide spoiler)]

[Claire]

Aly wrote: "Chapter 45 [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[Yeah, this whole 'not being able to tell reality from hallucinations' thing is interesting but it's making the story a little bit hard to follow to be honest. Like was the phone call real? I'm starting to think that is it but can't be sure. (hide spoiler)]

[Claire]

Finished:
(view spoiler)[Okay so as soon as she mentioned that news report early on in the book about how Jude's body was never found, I knew that he would turn out to be alive somehow. But still, yikes.

I have kinda mixed feelings about this book but it was a very enjoyable read overall, I'll definitely be continuing with the series. Can't just leave it on that massive cliffhanger! (hide spoiler)]

Iam soo excitd to read this buk bcoz i was trying to read this for a longg time bt cudnt do it.
Mara wakesup in a hospital without her memory ..she doesnt knw wht happened and how it hapnd..later she finds only she survived and rest of her frnds died in tht asylum.
I dnt knw why they went there in the frst place..i think claire mara and rachel were sme spooky frnds curious abt supernatural beings.

Now she is haallucnatng all d tym..she sees her frnds evrywhere..her family shifted to florids to give mara a space..her new skul and new atmosphere is nt helping..she still hallucinates almst thrice a day.
She meets noah,eventhough mara finds him annoying,i likd him..he is kool
The owner of dog died incident is creepy..hw he died exctly like she wnted???
Icnt stop readng and want to knw wht happnd to them
<\spoiler> (hide spoiler)]

I like hw noah and mara gettng tangld..also i liked mara as a character..shes not naive and clingy, she has her own strnf personality.
After the party when she returned her house was nt lockd?? And wen she got hurt noone asked hw she entred and al...i loved those moments..i cudnt move atall..like watchng a horror movie.
Hoping for more of such moments

Jude is alive..idk hw?..if he is alive then mara didnt use her power on him??..

So thers a connection between mara and noah.
Mara's grandmother is related to all this..mayb mara is posessd by grandmother while they played ouija.

Pheobe is super weird..is jude her boyfrnd??mayb he is making her do this
