The unbecoming of Mara Dyer- book review

Blurb: When Mara Dyer wakes up in a hospital with no memory of how she got there, or any explanation as to why the bizarre accident that caused the deaths of her boyfriend and two best friends left her mysteriously unharmed, her doctors suggest she start over in a new city, at a new school, and just hope her memories gradually come back to her
But Mara's new start is anything but comforting. She sees the faces of her dead friends everywhere and now she's started to see other people's deaths before they happen. Is she going crazy? As if dealing with all this isn't enough, Noah Shaw, the most beautiful boy she's ever seen, can't seem to leave her alone. But does he have her best interests at heart, or another agenda altogether?

Ok, so this book is brilliant. It drags you in and holds you there with every unexpected turn. It's funny, but also haunting and tense at some points. I've read it about four times now, and it never gets old. The characters are relatable and believable, and I could honestly believe that they exist in real life. It's hard to fix this book to a particular genre because at some points it's creepy enough to be horror, but it's also supernatural, comedic, romantic and even includes a bit of detective work. The end of the book leaves you wanting more, and thankfully there are two other books that continue the story to the end The evolution of Mara Dyer and The retribution of Mara Dyer.

Marks out of 10? definitely a 9.
