En smakebit på søndag – The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer

smakebit

Den norska bokbloggaren “Flukten fra virkeligheten” har varje söndag en rolig liten utmaning där man ska skriva ner en liten smakbit av boken man läser för tillfället. Just nu läser jag bland annat ”The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer” av Michelle Hodkin.

Handling:
Mara Dyer doesn’t think life can get any stranger. She wakes from a coma in hospital with no memory of how she got there or of the bizarre accident that caused the deaths of her best friends and her boyfriend, yet left her mysteriously unharmed. The doctors suggest that starting over in a new city, a new school, would be good for her and just to let the memories gradually come back on their own. But Mara’s new start is anything but comforting. She sees the faces of her dead friends everywhere, and when she suddenly begins to see other people’s deaths right before they happen, Mara wonders whether she’s going crazy! And if dealing with all this wasn’t enough, Noah Shaw, the most beautiful boy she has ever seen can’t seem to leave her alone… but as her life unravels around her, Mara can’t help but wonder if Noah has another agenda altogether…

13643373”They found…remains,” she said vaguely. ”They’re gone, Mara. They didn’t make it.”
Remains. Pieces, she meant. A wave of nausea rocked my stomach. I wanted to gag. I stared hard at the yellow roses from Rachel’s mother instead, then squeezed my eyes shut and searched for a memory, any memory, of that night. Why we went. What we were doing there. What killed them.
”I want to know everything that happened.”
”Mara-”
I recognized her placating tone and my fingers curled into fists around my sheets. She was trying to protect me but she was torturing me instead.
”You have to tell me,” I begged, my throat filled with ash.
My mother looked at me with glassy eyes and a heart-broken face. ”I would if I could, Mara. But you’re the only one who knows.”

  1. Ännu en serie jag hoppas ska bli översatt till svenska. Är alldeles för lat att läsa på engelska tyvärr! Tack för smakbiten!

  2. Det hørtes ut som en veldig spennende bok. Jeg liker ofte de litt overnaturlige :-)
    Ønsker deg en fin søndag!

  3. Det här låter som en bok för mig :) Ser fram emot att höra vad du tycker när du läst klart, om den är lika bra som klippet antyder.

  4. Den här har jag hört bra saker om, och den bör nog höra till min läsning småningom.
