Okay, I'm starting to read this. I like the rating, and I hope this book is a good sequel. After reading so many horrible sequels to books~I'm a bit hesitant~but I'll give Mara Dyer a chance :) Praying I won't be dissapointed... 
 EDIT~After reading this book... 
 Honestly I didn't think it would be THAT good! OH MY FREAKEN GOSH! Okay, "The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer" was good. I thought it was cool and original. I wondered how the sequel would work out. I NEVER EVER expected any of what happened in this book to happen! 
 One thing I have to point out about this series is the main characters--MARA DYER and NOAH SHAW--they're amazing. You're given characters with problems. They aren't just teenagers with magic abilities. Mara says one thing and no one believes her except Noah. This becomes a bit of a problem in this book becuase they all think she's crazy. It makes a reader want to jump into the novel and shake everyone. I have to admit that at certain parts I didn't believe her too. Sometimes I thought she was really crazy. 
 Gosh how they thought she was crazy. 
 Oh and Jamie comes back! I was so happy because he was a favorite character of mine in book one. The fact that he's back is just amazing! It's a nice add to the book. 
 Jude, oh how he freaks the hell out of me. I spent the beginning of the book thinking he was alive. I spent the middle of the book thinking Mara was crazy and he wasn't alive. I spent the ending of the book hating that guy a lot. You'll learn to hate everyone Mara encounters. Phoebe especially--I can understand why she's in the mental place anyways. 
 This book is exactly everything I've been looking for in a sequel. I was scared at first because of several other sequels to series have been so dissapointing and dull. In other sequels I felt like the characters were being dulled down and that the authors were sitting back relaxing. I was happy when I saw book two of this series was WAY bigger than book one :) That was a good sign. 
 This is also a book without a LOVE TRIANGLE~thank the heavens. I was sort of getting tired of love triangles. I'm telling you, Mara only feels and thinks of Noah. She doesn't have another guy in her life with whom flirts with her or one that she thinks of in a romantic way. You can't count Jamie. 
 Another thing about Mara is that while she might be in love with Noah, she isn't "IN LOVE" with him. I don't know how to explain it, but there were times when she looked over love. There were times when she argued with Noah about things. Also, he's not the All-controlling guy character with a perfect story. He has his own issues and that's pretty clear in this book. He's not an EDWARD CULLEN, meaning he doesn't sparkle and he's not perfect. 
 I like this book very much. It's horrifying at the same time amazing. I love it :) 
 Definetly a must-read book. Definitely worth it.
