I enjoyed The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer and was hoping that this book would cut down a little on the romance and provide a solid, thrilling plot line to expand on the world it introduced. I am not invested enough in the characters to feel the same way, but if you're in love with Mara and Noah and all the rest, you may have a lot of feelings about things that happen.
A lot of reviews for this book are also along the lines of "the end of this book punched me in the heart". I'll hold out on my feelings on that until the third book, to see how it's resolved. This is vague to avoid spoilers, but I feel like one of the "aha!" moments at the very end was kind of odd and majorly changes the tone of the first two books in a way that I'm not sure I like. The end of the book begins to unravel the paranormal aspect, sorting out some of the major plotlines but leaving plenty of questions for what will happen next. Mara hasn't been the most reliable of narrators, so it's very easy to start questioning everything that happens. That leads to a lot of really chilling moments where even the reader is left wondering what is and isn't real. Everyone's convinced that Mara's seeing things, hallucinating, that she's mentally unstable.
The paranormal element in this book seems to be ratcheted up a few more notches, as Mara begins to experience flashbacks to a life she never lived, but the core emphasis in this book is the psychological thriller aspect. That was good because it kept them from getting too shmoopy and kept me from rolling my eyes too much, but it also meant that Mara spent a lot of time pining after him when he was away. Also, Mara and Noah spend a lot of time apart in this one, not necessarily by choice. I'm willing to overlook a lot for a book that does this well, and that's really where Evolution. Like the first book, what really kept me hooked were the horror/thriller elements. I didn't love this book, but it was still interesting enough to keep me going to the end, and, yeah, I'm guessing I'll read the final book when it comes out, too, just to know what happens.
