So of course when I heard their was going to be a spinoff series from Noah’s POV, of course I was going to read it, even if I wasn’t sure how the tale was going to continue after the revelations in The Retribution of Mara Dyer. It’s committed to its aesthetic, from everything to the writing style to the cover designs to the titles. The original Mara Dyer trilogy is absolutely one of the best series I’ve read, YA or otherwise, and the eerie, haunting feel of it is unmatched. I do not know how I was #blessed enough to get approved for The Becoming of Noah Shaw on NetGalley, but the bookish gods must have been smiling upon me because I was- and almost screamed out loud at work when the approval email came through on my phone. *MASSIVE thank you to Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers for providing an ARC via NetGalley* Mara Dyer is the only one he trusts with his secrets and his future.Īnd both are scared that uncovering the truth about themselves will force them apart. Published by Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers on November 7th 2017Įveryone thinks seventeen-year-old Noah Shaw has the world on a string. What happens when he doesn’t have that anymore? Also the question used to be is Mara crazy? Now it’s is Mara a psychotic killer? I’m really going to have to back and read the first trilogy again.The Becoming of Noah Shaw (The Shaw Confessions, #1) by Michelle Hodkin

He is a kid who has every privilege in the world but doesn’t see the point in living until he meets Mara. The complicated but loyal boyfriend Noah. The problem is that they don’t want to and what do these disappearances and suicides have to do with Noah, Mara and what has done to them? Well we don’t get a lot of answers but then again we do still have two more books to go. It’s a few months after the ending of the last book and other carriers or gifted teens like Noah, Mara, Jaime and Stella are disappearing and then committing suicide. This was a little bit more straight forward mystery. Is Mara really seeing hallucination or can she really kill people with her mind? The first book was a mind trip.

What I remember about the original series was how kind of creepy it was. The Retribution of Mara Dyer came out in 2014 and so much has happened in the last three years it’s easy to forget who Stella is and what happened between her and Mara. I did not re-read the last series and I found myself hitting up google looking for synopsis to remind myself what happened. I would recommend going back to read the original trilogy before starting this one and if you haven’t read the Mara Dyer Trilogy then read it first because this book will not make sense if not.

This is the first book in the Shaw Confessions Trilogy, a companion trilogy to the Mara Dyer Trilogy.
