A review by simplyalexandra
The Retribution of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin

4.0

While I can't say the series was flawless, I REALLY enjoyed it. The whole time, I wondered what would come next. I didn't feel like it was a typical YA read, I really appreciated the psychological aspect of the books, it was certainly something that kept me turning pages. I liked that the characters were well developed, interesting, and witty. I liked that the plot was layered, it kept me asking questions, "What's going on with Mara?" "What's going on with Noah?" "What's up with Horizons?" "Is this a supernatural plot? Or an extremely freaky psychological plot?" etc. I liked that the layers shifted as the characters discovered more of what is going on around them. I thought the end of the series was a little under developed... but overall, again, I liked it quite a lot.

I mostly appreciate that her writing isn't depressing, but it's dark. It's not realistic or unrealistic... but it just works.

Anyhow, if this sounds like your kind of thing, definitely check the series out. It's a short one and all of the books are very quick reads.
