I liked that there was a little romance, even though it definitely wasn't easy. The hand on Mallory's shoulder: it was there, cause Reid saw it, but was it a paranormal thing or did Dylan do it? Because it never really said and I'm stuck on this. One thing I couldn't fully figure out, so if any of you have read it, please tell me if I missed something here: I mean seriously? There's something WRONG with some of the people that went to the boarding school Mallory got shipped off to. There was a definite creep factor and a couple of girls just kept me repeating 'witches be CRAZY', except, you know, with the word that isn't exactly PG. Bonds like these are rare and should be cherished. There for each other, fighting but always making it right, just knowing each other through and through.

So often in YA novels I wonder how the characters can call themselves friends, but Mallory and Colleen were the real deal.

It was so interesting to work things about alongside Mallory, seeing things she hadn't realized before.īut I think that most of all I loved seeing the friendship between Mallory and Colleen. I loved seeing all the past events unroll and seeing the whole tragedy for what it was and how teen romances can screw up a life.

It's not natural to be ok when you've ended a life, even if you didn't mean to. And it's the uncertainty about how it exactly happened that kept me wondering, but 'what if', what if she didn't do it in self-defense? How can I like this girl when I don't fully trust her? So I went back and forth and Mallory is a bit all over the place and I LIKED that. Megan Miranda made me connect to Mallory when I was a bit hesitant to. It's more about dealing with the aftermath than the actual event. Hysteria was a bit different from what I'd expected, from the summary I'd gathered it would be about Mallory discovering what happened that night. So guys, I'm not really much of a mystery kinda girl, but I will always pick up Megan Miranda's books because she brings the creepy and the excitement! I pretty much loved Fractured and was all flailing hands when I got approved for Hysteria! Her past can be forgotten but it's never gone. So when a pupil is found dead, Mallory's name is on their lips. There's the hand that touches her shoulder when she's drifting off to sleep. But someone, or something, has followed her. When Mallory's parents send her away to a boarding school, she thinks she can escape the gossip and the threats. But she can't remember what happened that night. Goodreads summary: Mallory's life is falling apart. How I got this book: received it from the publisher through NetGalley Publisher/Date published: Bloomsbury Publishing Plc (UK & ANZ), February 14th 2013
