The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer

For anyone who liked Twilight, have I got the book for you--Michelle Hodkin's The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer. There are absolutely no vampires, so those who steered clear of Twilight for that reason, may still like this book. I bring up Stephenie Meyer's bestselling book though because it also has a heart thumping romance in the center of a plot chock full of danger. But the similarities end there. (And I have to say, Hodkins is a better writer than Meyer.) 

So to give you the story, in as little detail as possible since there is power in the mystery of the story and the way it unfolds...
Mara wakes up in a hospital room to learn her best friend, her boyfriend, and his sister are all dead, but she doesn't remember what happened. I hate to give too much away because one of the book's virtues is its mystery and the way it unfolds. It's part psychological thriller, part paranormal drama, part romance... and it's really, really good.

If you're intrigued, you can check out the trailer. (Not for the movie; publishing companies are putting out trailers for books now. Interesting, huh?)
