Michelle Hodkin is the author of the Mara Dyer Trilogy, which was a New York Times, USA Today, and Publishers Weekly bestselling series. The trilogy, which includes The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer, The Evolution of Mara Dyer, and The Retribution of Mara Dyer, was described as “haunting and dreamlike” by Cassandra Clare and “darkly funny, deliciously creepy, and genuinely thoughtful” by Veronica Roth. Lev Grossman has called Hodkin “One of the greatest talents in Young Adult fiction.” The novels were praised by Romantic Times, MTV’s Hollywood Crush, and the Los Angeles Times, and books from the series appeared on several state reading lists.

I love this question.

I love Noah's shamelessness. That he isn't embarrassed by anything--not his history, not his obsession with Mara, not the reasons behind it. He knows how flawed he is and doesn't really care--he never wanted to be perfect, so he doesn't bother pretending to be.

And I love Mara's ferocious loyalty. She will do anything--maim, murder, whatever--to protect the people she loves. She'll defend first and apologize later (or not at all).(less)

Kellie Hi Michelle! Thank you for accepting my friend request. Your books are always so exciting. I cannot wait to read Book 3 :)


Danielle Hi Michelle, thank you so much for accepting my friend request. The Mara Dyer Trilogy is one of my most favorite book series in the world. You're actually one of my inspirations to become a writer one day, hopefully! The way you wrote Mara Dyer inspired me in ways words can not comprehend. I'm just sad to see it end! Anyway, thanks again for accepting my friend request, it means so much, thanks! P.S. If I may ask, how did you come up with Mara Dyer in the first place?

Kat I'm so excited to see you! See you on January! <3

I don't want it to end!! I love Mara and Noah so much :)) Love from good ol New Zealand <3 x


message 64: by Karla

Karla Ortiz Hi Michelle,thank you so much for accepting my friendship request,I totally love the Mara Dyer Trilogy, it's definitely one of my favorites series, I can't wait for the final book to come out, I am really exited but I don't want it to end.
I have so many questions, Do you hear music while you were writing?, What was your inspiration to the Mara Dyer Trilogy?, Do you have any plans to write another story?.
I'm really driving crazy for the wait, I recommended my friends to read Mara Dyer and now they want to kill me because they are going to have to wait to the final book to come out.
I hope you keep writing.
LOVE FROM MEXICO <3 !
