The Becoming of Noah Shaw by Michelle Hodkin
4.0
Reader warning: deals heavily with self harm and suicide.
Takes off after the conclusion to the Mara Dyer trilogy, but told from Noah’s point of view. It took a while for this to get going for me - but it wasn’t because it was hard to get into Noah’s perspective, Hodkin does a good job of that. Some dastardly dealings are afoot as there’s a spate of suicides that grab Noah’s attention and it turns out they’re gifted just like Noah, Mara and co.But I wasn’t too keen on the heavy focus of suicides on the gifted types. I liked the new spin on whether Mara is good or the monster she’s supposed to be as you’re seeing it all through Noah’s eyes. The ending has made me want to read the next in the series.
