My Review:

Fast - Paced. A real page - turner. Creepy

The first thing I noticed is the paced of this book. It was fast and refreshing because Michelle's writing style was great! 

This book is a perfect blend of Paranormal and Romance. The love/romance going on with Mara and Noah was incredibly fantastic while the creepiness are still present while Mara Dyer is hallucinating and stuff. When I was in the middle of the book, I thought the paranormal aspect was left out but when I reached the second half, I was wrong. The last half of this book is the most creepiest which I liked.

“Thinking something does not make it true. Wanting something does not make it real.” 

I don't have much to say about the characters but I think they are actually good especially Mara Dyer and Noah Shaw.

The plot itself is very intriguing and mysterious that's why i can't put down this book because I want to know more! Even though The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer is dark and paranormal, Michelle Hodkin did not forget to put a smile on my face or laugh because of some funny things.

This is my first time reading a Paranormal Romance book, I believe, and I enjoyed it and I want to read more from this genre. Thanks to this book for not disappointing me to introduce to Paranormal with romance world!

The ending was a cliffhanger. Too bad I still don't have the book 2 because I really need to read more from Mara Dyer!

As I said, Michelle Hodkin's writing style was fantastic it made me not want to put the book down. It was fast - paced and I finished this book for only 2 days which is not fast enough compared to the other readers but for me it's good because I usually read a book for 3 days - 1 week if I'm not that busy. For those who haven't read it yet, please read it now! You don't want to miss the world of Mara Dyer ;)
