Mara Dyer knows she isn't crazy. She knows that she can kill with her mind, and that Noah can heal with his. Mara also knows that somehow, Jude is not a hallucination. He is alive. Unfortunately, convincing her family and doctors that she's not unstable and doesn't need to be hospitalised isn't easy. The only person who actually believes her is Noah. But being with Noah is dangerous and Mara is in constant fear that she might hurt him.

No Spoiler Review:
Absolutely amazing second coming of this series. All the best characters from the first book come back and get developed in fascinating ways. Noah's psychology is delved into. The mystery deepens. It is impossible to predict what's happening. It's often impossible to know what is currently happening in the scene, but in the best most intriguing ways possible. And this book gives us some of the scenes through Noah's perspective (through a clever means) which just adds fantastic layers. I loved it. It was just as captivating as the first and did not disappoint.

What did I just read?
I mean that in a good way. It is fantastic! But whaat the absolute heck is happening now? Everything with Jude? And oh gosh. Noah! Noah's backstory was heart breaking. His perspective in the journal undid me. I love everything about this book.
I almost couldn't read the scene with her wrists slit and her families response after. It was that powerful. And then realizing that Daniel got the call that she had tried to kill herself. Can you imagine? Daniel needs all the hugs.
I was thrilled with the addition of Stella and the reveal about Jamie being one of them! I love Jamie. I can't get enough of his dialog.
A+ book!
That ending...WHYYYYYYYY?! still not completely sure Noah's dead, though...though it'd be kind of...weird and strangely good if he did end up being alive. It would just be...unrealistic...I guess you could say. But it'd be a nice thing to happen...though it'd be...what was it called? Predictable. THAT'S THE WORD
4.5. Very surprising and unpredictable but the author is tackling A LOT so let's see where it goes.....
In honor of Retribution coming out tomorrow, I decided to read this so that I can read Retribution right away. The book was better and crazier than the first. After the first, I felt like I had a good grip on what was happening in the book and the series as a whole, but this book completely obliterated all that. I'm currently sitting here in shock because I have no idea what to expect in the final book of the trilogy. I can say that I'm super excited to read it.
