Review Detail

Mara Amitra Dyer is one hell of a crazy person. Nobody believes her. Nobody except Noah and maybe a little bit herself. Jude is alive and he'll do everything to take revenge. He wants Mara to suffer and he finds the perfect way. He accomplishes to make her look crazy and schizophrenic in her family's eyes and she can't take it anymore. She loses her mind and the two who help her are Noah and Jamie who attend the same program as Mara does. But Jude is lurking in the shadows, an invisible enemy, threatening Mara's mind and life. He achieves that by killing the neighbors' pet and writing messages using their blood. He also has a key to Mara's house so that he can invade in her bedroom during the night and take pictures of her sleeping but that is just the beginning.

The book starts with Mara being committed to a Psychiatric Unit. The doctors release her but she ends up at a treatment facility and Noah joins her. They believe that Jude will stay away from them for a while. But Michelle Hodkin had other plans. Long story short, the Mara Dyer series begins with the collapse of the asylum and so far the story ends with another collapse. And people die….or maybe not? (Cliffhanger …I hate those.)

Mara is looking for answers. She is a complicated character. Most of the time she's afraid and desperate but there are also moments where she's a whole new person. Strong, fearless, determined and dangerous.

Noah is…well Noah. The same guy that we fell in love in the first book. He's Mara's shelter, her family knows it and that's why he's spending his nights at Mara's house. He's kind, gentle and romantic. He planned this ridiculously romantic getaway in a private island for him and Mara.

His voice was quieter, now.
“What do you want?”
“You.” Always you.
“You have me,” he said, his eyes meeting mine. “You inhabit me.”

“Now you're just being cruel."
“I like pushing your buttons.”
“You'd enjoy it more if you undid them first.”

He could almost be described as the perfect boyfriend. ALMOST. And thats because he has his dark side as well. He had nobody to show him how his ability worked and he doesn't want that for Mara. That's why he's with her in every step of the way and of course because he's madly in love with her.
