This is the first time I really understood what's on the cover. Yay for being slow! It's quite enticing now that I see it for what it really is.
I've just read the excerpt and I'm hooked. I heard people raving about it and saw the cover everywhere but it's the writing itself that really delivers it for me. How exciting! Thanks so much for sharing. ♥
Waah! What a way to end the first chapter. Oh, now I need so much more! Why do I have to wait?
Oh my goodness! That sounds super creepy; I'm really excited. Is it September, yet?!
Awesome blog! It's so pretty!!! This is my first time here. I'm visiting via Michelle Hodkin. I'm very excited for the upcoming release of The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer. Thanks for the exclusive first look and widget! I'm a new follower
Aaaah! Thank you so much! I'm SO excited to read MARA DYER! This little excerpt was incredible–I can't wait for more!
Woah, that's an exciting excerpt! Really gets you hooked in and wanting to know more…
Loved the excerpt, but MAN, what a tease! How many more days?
Oh my gosh!! I want to know what happens next! NOW!
Thanks for sharing this! I have been seeing this book everywhere and I loved the cover, but did not really know what it was about. Now I do, I want to read it!
Awesome, now that's a great first chapter, can't wait to read this book.
Ack!!! That was awesome!! I'm dying to read this book even more now. =D
Wow, now that's an excerpt that has me intrigued. This one's already on my TBR list and I can't wait to read it (especially now)!
Wow! So happy you posted this, as I've been pining after this book ever since I first heard about it. LOVE!!
Holy crap, that is a gorgeous widget! Lucky Michelle!
I do think it shows what's actually on the cover to better effect. I might wait to read the first chapter since it's going to be a few more months before it's out, and I'm impatient like that! Thanks for sharing this, Lori!
That widget is gorgeous!! I love how it moves like water.
And that has to be one of the best first chapters I've ever read. Can it be September yet?
I am utterly hooked, and what a great way to promote the book. The Widget is enough to have anyone drooling, but that first chapter is a killer lead in. Thanks!
oh my goodness. That was amazing. Thanks for sharing!
Oh, my, that was epically creepy! Wasn't planning on reading this, but am rather convinced after that!
ZOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG! That was amazing! I thought I couldn't be any more ravenous to read this one, but I was soo wrong.
Well my itty bitty computer won't let me see the page properly to read it but I'm still SUPER excited for it! VERY cool that you got to share the first chapter!
That was un-be-liev-a-ble.
I completely should not have read that first chapter. Now I'm sucked in and I need to know what happens next. Ugh, the release date is too far away!
What a great, evil teasing, sample!!! I agree with the comment above, I totally shouldn't have read that lol! It's way too long to wait now…
I didn't realize there were two people in the water. Wow! This is mesmerizing.
Thanks for posting it.
Eek! The last line made me want to let out a horrified scream except my daddy's asleep behind me! OMG! That book sounds insanely morbid and crazy,i am die-ing (haha?!) to read more now!
Thanks for the sneak peak!
I need more. And a seuqel. And a huge pile of books by Mara Dyer. Scary but enticing ( is that a word?) It should be September now! Is it Setember yet ( silent voice says no, because I would have read Supernaturally already.)
Not the kind of book I would normally pickup but I am now excited in anticipation of reading more on this book. Very enticing and exciting. Hopefully I won't forget about it by the time September rolls around
I enjoyed reading this book. The writing was easy to follow and from the beginning I was drawn in.The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer is inventive, pervasive, and completely mind-boggling. Each and every answer leads to more questions and to more mystery. Michelle Hodkin’s storytelling is spot-on, with pitch-perfect flow and unbelievable revelations. I was glued to the page, frantic for more information, but dwelling on each scene at the same time.
