The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin

Mara Dyer is your normal, introverted teenage girl. She hangs out with her friends, has a boyfriend but doesn't go out on too many adventures. Then one day, she's forced by her best friend, her boyfriend and boyfriend's sister to go out to an abandoned asylum to see if its truly haunted. But once inside, something terrible happens which causes Mara to have extreme PTSD and their family moves down to Florida from New Hampshire. But things don't clear up in Florida, in fact, things get even more crazy.

The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer is the first installment in a trilogy. The whole novel just keeps you on your seat. It has a creep factor to it and if you get grossed out easily, some parts you might have to skip over. If you watch American Horror Story, you would like this book from it's creep factor and how you think one thing is going to happen but then the complete opposite ends up happening. There are so many plot twists within this book and it just flows nicely believe it or not. I give this book a 5 out of 5 stars or 91%.
