The Becoming of Noah Shaw by Michelle Hodkin (The Shw Chronicles book 1)

SPOILER ALERT! This book is the first in a companion series to the Mara Dyer trilogy. Noah Shaw & Mara Dyer are both introduced in the earlier books. It would be extremely helpful to read that series first.

Please visit the Recaptains blog if you need a refresher on the first two books in the Mara Dyer trilogy.

“In the first book of the Shaw Confessions, the companion series to the New York Times bestselling Mara Dyer novels, old skeletons are laid bare and new promises prove deadly. This is what happens after happily ever after.

Everyone thinks seventeen-year-old Noah Shaw has the world on a string.

They’re wrong.

Mara Dyer is the only one he trusts with his secrets and his future.


He shouldn’t.

And both are scared that uncovering the truth about themselves will force them apart.

They’re right.

If you read the Mara Dyer trilogy, you know that you were constantly asking yourself “what just happened?” This latest installment is no different. After the events in Florida, Noah and Mara have settled in New York City. Told from Noah's point of view, readers get an inside look at his hopes and deepest fears. Now the Shaw heir upon his father's death, Noah wants to turn a blind eye to his father's dealings. But as Noah's gift allows him to witness the final moments of other gifted youth like him, he knows that he needs to stop the murder/suicides before it's too late. Even if he has to confront the one girl he loves, Mara Dyer.

All I have to say is that I didn't see any of the ending coming. While a few mysteries were finally answered, so much more were encountered.

The next book, The Reckoning of Noah Shaw, is due out on November 13, 2018.
