Bloody Mary, Book 1: Mary: The Summoning

For Jess, Kitty, Shauna and Anna, playing Bloody Mary was supposed to be just like it was when they were kids, just a game. Jess had done all the research – the four girls need to join hands in front of a mirror, light a candle and chant Bloody Mary three times, and never, ever, break the chain. No one expects to actually summon Bloody Mary, but when she rushes the mirror, the girls break hands, allowing Mary to slip into their world. Now, with wicked intent, Mary terrorizes the girls through every reflective surface. They are left scrambling to discover the truth about her legacy in order to find a way to send her back, before each of them get pulled into Bloody Mary’s world forever

Hillary Monahan spins a classic urban legend on its head, breathing life and fear into it. Mary: The Summoning, is the first truly scary book that I’ve read in a long time, mixed with equal amounts of terror and fear. This read will keep you up until the wee hours of the morning, with a jar of salt nearby and all your mirrors covered. A perfect read for Halloween.
