There is a right way and a wrong way to summon her.
Jess had done the research. Success requires precision: a dark room, a mirror, a candle, salt, and four teenage girls. Each of them--Jess, Shauna, Kitty, and Anna--must link hands, follow the rules . . . and never let go.
A thrilling fear spins around the room the first time Jess calls her name: "Bloody Mary. Bloody Mary. BLOODY MARY." A ripple of terror follows when a shadowy silhouette emerges through the fog, a specter trapped behind the mirror.
Once is not enough, though--at least not for Jess. Mary is called again. And again. But when their summoning circle is broken, Bloody Mary slips through the glass with a taste for revenge on her lips. As the girls struggle to escape Mary's wrath, loyalties are questioned, friendships are torn apart, and lives are forever altered.
A haunting trail of clues leads Shauna on a desperate search to uncover the legacy of Mary Worth. What she finds will change everything, but will it be enough to stop Mary--and Jess--before it's too late?
From Goodreads:
Mary in the mirror.
Mary in the glass.
Mary in the water.
Mary lurks in the emptiness, in the darkness . . . in the reflection. That is, until Jess unleashes her into the world. Now Mary Worth is out and her haunting is deadlier than ever.
No one is safe.
Shauna, Kitty, and Jess must band together to unearth the truth about Mary's death to put her soul to rest for good. Their search leads them back to where it all began-to Solomon's Folly, a place as dangerous as the ghost who died there a century and a half ago. Quick sand, hidden traps and a phantom fog are the least of their worries. To stop Mary, they need to follow a dark string of clues and piece together a gruesome mystery that spans generations.
But time is running out.
As chilling facts come to light, Mary inches ever closer to her prey. Can Jess, Shauna, and Kitty break Mary's curse before it's too late? Or will history repeat itself until there is no one left to call her name . . . ?
My Review:
I really enjoyed reading these books, they were dark and creepy! And honestly, who hasn't heard of the whole calling Blood Mary thing? But I don't think I've read a book about it before, so yeah, I had to check it out!
Both of these books are around 300 pages, so they make for some really fast reads, they're both really fast paced, and if they were movies, they'd be ones you'd spend a good deal of time peeking out from behind your eyes, because they're pretty terrifying!
Unleashed was really great, we got to dive more into this world, and learned more about Mary, and why Jess did what she did. Really enjoyed figuring out how to stop Mary once and for all. And of course, there's some really creepy happenings because of Mary, but a few others.
Those others, of the family who founded Solomon's Folly, and their monster in the field, yeah, I would love to explore that in another book. Because something that scares even Mary, yeah, that's something I want to read about!
Loved reading these books, they were terrific to read!
