When you buy a second set just for the Shaw Confessions teasers:
“I waged my heart on you and lost, again and again and, but still I would do it. I could never bet on anyone else.”
“She’s a rod I want to break myself against.”
I didn't understand if noah and mara were just crazy or they had "powers"?
lol I thought the same thing through 80% of the books
yes, they really had powers

“My name is not Mara Dyer, but my lawyer told me I had to choose something. A pseudonym. A nom de plume, for all of us studying for the SATs. I know that having a fake name is strange, but trust me—it’s the most normal thing about my life right now. Even telling you this much probably isn’t smart. But without my big mouth, no one would know that a seventeen-year-old who likes Death Cab for Cutie was responsible for the murders. No one would know that somewhere out there is a B student with a body count. And it’s important that you know, so you’re not next.”

The only thing worse than eighth grade is seventh grade. And the only thing worse than seventh grade is sixth grade. I’m so honored and happy my books helped you get through middle school bullshit.* I just wanted to say that before I say anything else.
I’ve answered the questions you asked before (FAQ) but I did it pretty broadly. Since you mentioned middle school, I’ll add to those answers–a lot of stuff that happened to me in middle and high school (I went to a private school so, same buildings, same kids) informed the books. It definitely inspired Mara’s character development. A couple of her teachers may or may not have been a couple of my teachers.
I always say that I didn’t really feel like I chose to write the story at all–it feels like something that just happened to me, and then I made it keep happening because I liked it. But I did choose to include things, feelings mostly, that I had when I was a teenager. Big, messy emotions, complicated by adolescence and assholes, and the general indignity and powerlessness of not feeling like a kid anymore but still technically (or at least, legally) being a kid.
I’m really anxious for you to read the first book in The Shaw Confessions (new series! Spin-off!) because if you like Mara and Noah as a couple, it’s going to give you the first glimpse into what makes him work as part of that couple. My idea for Noah came from Mara in a sort of reverse Adam-and-Eve sort of way–I thought about who Mara would become, and the sort of person who would love her not just despite it, but because of it, and there he was.
That’s probably more answer than you wanted, but I hope it was helpful. And good luck with high school. I hope you don’t need it, but if you do, my books will be there for you then, too.
*I gave you gold stars for surviving the bullshit. That’s a really big deal. No sarcasm here.
And this just appeared on my dash, with 170,000+ notes. So naturally, I am reblogging.
Always reblog.
Is Naomi Scott like in a movie for these books or something bc I'm really confused lol
As far as I know no
Author’s Note: THIS IS SET AFTER THE RETRIBUTION OF MARA DYER. This is my first ever Mara Dyer fanfiction. It has been about a year since I’ve written something so, I might be a little rusty. Constructive criticisms are welcome so please do leave some. Happy reading!
Ever since Mara fully manifested, things have been different for the Dyer family. Each of them was moving on. Daniel was busy with his career, Mara was learning to control her ability with Noah closely by her side, Mr. Dyer has become a sought after lawyer, Mrs. Dyer’s client list has stretched and Joseph, the youngest, was slowly coming to grips with his ability. Despite their lives going back to normal, normal for each of them that is, something within the Dyer blood seems to resurface bringing into light another mystery that awaits to be unraveled by each of them.

“It wants you to ask something,” Rachel said softly. “If by ‘it’ you mean Claire, I’m sure that’s true.” I stood up, shaking and nauseous. I was done. “I didn’t push it,” Claire said, wide-eyed as she looked at Rachel, then at me. “Pinky swear?” I asked, with sarcasm. “Why not,” Claire answered, with malice. She stood and walked closer to me. Too close. Her green eyes were dangerous. “I didn’t push it,” she said again. “It wants you to play.” Rachel grabbed my hand and pulled herself up off the floor. She looked straight at Claire. “I believe you,” she said, “but let’s do something else?” “Like what?” Claire’s voice was flat, and I stared right back at her, unflinching. Here we go. “We can watch The Blair Witch Project.” Claire’s favorite, naturally. “How about it?” Rachel’s voice was tentative, but firm. I tore my eyes away from Claire’s and nodded, managing a smile. Claire did the same. Rachel relaxed, but I didn’t. For her sake, though, I tried to swallow my anger and unease as we settled in to watch the movie. Rachel popped in the DVD and blew out the candles. Six months later, they were both dead.
