Characters Reading: Lydia Martin

It's been a while since I've rewatched the fifth season of Teen Wolf but I remember that Malia Tate was the one who had found the book The Dread Doctors by T.R. McCammon in Tracy Stewart's bedroom in the episode Condition Terminal (season 5 episode 4). Looking back at the fifth season, I'm not sure if this book was a helpful clue into The Dread Doctors as it should have been. Because it was certainly harmful when each member of the McCall pack (Scott McCall, Stiles Stilinski, Lydia Martin, Kira Yukimura and Malia Tate) read the book almost all of them (I'm not sure about Malia) experienced bad experiences and memories that they had somehow forgotten (see Required Reading season 5 episode 6).

Anyway, in the fifth episode A Novel Approach, Malia after attempting to read it (and not really understanding it) must have given the book to Lydia Martin as they were heading into school. Lydia was looking the book over while they were trying to figure out more about it. And wondering how it connects to the pack's current situation dealing with The Dread Doctors and whether the book is a fictional tale that may have inspired their current horrors or something very prophetic.
