findings

I finished reading two more books; the unbecoming of mara dyer by Michelle Hodkin and the name of the star by Maureen Johnson. Honestly, i did not really enjoy the unbecoming of mara dyer because the book cover is much more promising than book itself. I thought upon reaching the last few pages of the book there’s still so much more and there wasn't. 

the unbecoming of mara dyer by Michelle Hodkin

Mara dyer and her family left hometown for Miami to start anew. She was involved in a tragic accident which left her hospitalized and her friends dead, her best friend since childhood Rachel, Claire and her boyfriend jude. Her parents made her believe the old building her and her friends went for some adventure escapade collapsed thus leaving them underneath the rubble and mara, the lone survivor. Mara and her family moved to Miami. Her brother Daniel and joseph needed to adjust as well to their new school and house. Mara’s parents closely looked after mara because they’re worried she might be going through rough times. Mara’s love interest, Noah, an English good looking guy from an affluent family, also happened to be her schoolmate. The two had this eccentric connection. Mara found, noah happened to possess such power to heal and kill people/animals unconsciously. Mara failed her Spanish subject after her verbal exam and hates her Spanish teacher. Later on, her Spanish teacher died. As expected, having watched and read a lot of suspense thrillers, the villain turned out to be mara, she killed all her friends including her Spanish teacher. End. I was bored quite frankly but kudos to the book cover.

the name of the star by Maureen Johnson

Aurora or ‘dory’ went to England having hailed from New Orleans, LA to study and prepare for her future. She went to a boarding school called Wexford, made friends with her room mate Jazza and a boy named Jerome. She went to England at the height of the murders. They call the killer jack the ripper (i guess an a.k.a for serial killers in England). The killings, for some reason, weren’t caught by CCTV cameras. The book ended with Veronica, a character  who sprouts from nowhere, viewing a footage of a woman caught on CCTV with her guts out yet the footage wasn't able to capture the killer.

I’ll start with my new read called PostMortem by patricia cornwell. I hope it’s something better. I’m crossing my fingers.
