BUT WHAT WILL HAPPEN NOW? TO NOAH, WILL HE BE LOVED TO RUINS? WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO MARA, NOW THAT SHE HAS FULLY MANIFESTED? WHAT? I was hoping to find my answers in the several pages left but It’s okay, you don’t have to kill each other anymore. “And I would rather have today with you than forever with anyone else.” But secretly though I really wanted one of them to die (and not resurrect) BUT OF COURSE THEY WILL NOT CONFORM WITH THEIR DESTINY BECAUSE LOVE CONQUERS ALL. At that point, I just wanted to give up already because HOW DARE YOU PLAY WITH MY FEELINGS. Then the Hero and Shadow thing again, with the deaths and resurrections. And then Noah, voiced-out my thoughts in a single line.Įven if what he says is true, I am simply out of fucks to give.

UHM, OKAY WAIT LET ME PROCESS THAT FIRST.

When the whole revelation took place, I was like- HUH. I wasn’t surprised with some of the plot twists though, it was quite predictable. Why? Why must we go on that road? I was really overwhelmed when the Hero and Shadow thing was revealed, and I felt like everything was just made for that moment. AND THEN IT BECOMES A CHOSEN ONE KIND OF STORY WHERE THEY NEED TO FULFILL THEIR DESTINIES. Basically they’re mutants, because of this gene that gives them “powers” but make them mentally unstable as a “side effect”. Which was quite disappointing (but who am I to complain right?) Noah Shaw is the one destined to save her from being possessed.īut no, no possessing of souls. WHAT I EXPECTED TO GET FROM THIS SERIES: Mara Dyer is possessed by her grandmother and now she has her powers, this explains all the changes physically and mentally. “This is like the perfect storm of bad decisions.”Īnd then, the journey of a bunch of teenagers seeking out answers of what they really are begins and of course they (mostly Mara) have to find out the most needed answer to this question: WHERE THE HELL IS NOAH SHAW?

Maybe it’s just me because I am a bit squimish when there’s needles, knives, skin and blood involved. The first few chapters were GORE, it was so bloody I had to close the book a few times just to take a break. The final book to the Mara Dyer series will give you answers and a bad headache. Hmm, I like it generally but it’s not hands-down-greatest-book-series-good, it had a handful of scenes that I did like but as a whole I just didn’t loved it. And now I’m sad because I badly wanted to love this book and series. Initially, I gave this book 4-stars but after having a good night’s sleep and time to process my feelings I decided to drop a star.

Loyalties are betrayed, guilt and innocence tangle, and fate and chance collide in this shocking conclusion to Mara Dyer’s story. She never had to imagine how far she would go for vengeance. She doesn’t stop to think about where her quest for the truth might lead. Mara Dyer wants to believe there’s more to the lies she’s been told.
