The retribution of Mara Dyer is the third and last book in the Mara Dyer trilogy written by Michelle Hodkin. The series follows Mara Dyer a teenager who started having problems when an old building collapsed when her friends and her where inside, leaving her as the only survivor. After the accident she finds herself unable to distinguish between what happens in real life and what happens just inside her head. The series became quite popular once the first book came out, however this last book was considered as a disappointment by most people who even loved the first two books.
Mara wakes up without being sure what happened after Jude’s attack. Somehow she along with Jamie and -  managed to escape the facility. They start a journey in which they hope for answers about themselves and the reason why they have their powers. In addition to that Mara wants to find Noah, because she is sure he is fine, despite the efforts of everyone in thinking he is dead. Daniel, Mara’s bother, has been doing some investigations on his own, and he will help them understand everything.
The retribution of Mara Dyer was not, in my opinion a great book. I was satisfied with the resolution to the mystery behind the powers and the relationship with Dr. Kells. None the less, I was, as I said with the second book, disappointed with the execution. The book was difficult for me to follow, because of Mara’s way of telling things. I had to go back to re-reading many pages because I couldn’t remember what had really happen. That fact made me loose the interest in the book and I ended up having to push myself really hard in order to finish it.
To conclude, The retribution of Mara Dyer was not a bad book but I will not recommend this series, since I thought it had a really strong and good beginning however it loses its strength and, in my opinion quality as the series progresses.

October Wrap Up - November TBR

Hello again everyone, Today starts a new month and that means that it is time to wrap up the previous month and set this month's TBR. Last month I set an ambitious TBR which I was unable to complete entirely, but I did manage to get a lot read which makes me kind of happy. As I also said on the previous month's post I was going to center this past month's TBR on the "Sweep/ Wicca" series by Cate Tiernan, and that is what I did. I managed to finish the sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, and get thought half of the eleventh. I have enjoyed most of this books, however the last two, Seeker and Origins, change the point of view and I have not been able to click with them as I was able to so with the other ones.

Appart from that, I want to keep finishing s...
