It enlightened me and it was really dramatic. What about that land? That land which felt like it was moving? What about that, huh? I wonder if there's a book for that. There were more casualties, but I already knew there would be some of those, so it didn't come as a shock. They band together with many other people. My imagination was so active while reading this because the author's description of Mary was so good, it felt as if it was real! They continued to run from her, confront her and all, but nothing was working to keep her out. The main character, Shauna wants nobody to get hurt anymore. Let's just say that my expectations were surpassed. While reading this, I totally felt as if the history of Bloody Mary was true! I'm a fan of the first book, so I had some expectations for this one. This was a really compelling end to Bloody Mary's story. I will read anything Hillary Monahan writes. THIS BOOK IS SCARY! Bloody Mary will hook her claws into you and not let go. This isn't a dainty horror where the kids are afraid and there is a happy ending. You not only get atmosphere, but a follow through. I thought The Merciless by Danielle Vega was pretty scary, but nothing in the YA horror genre beats this duology. this duology is the scariest YA horror I have ever read.

What we find is a unbelievable back story that is not only horribly sad, but well deserved. In this book we follow Shauna and Kitty to the ends of the earth in search for a solution to getting rid of the nightmare that lurks in the mirror. We witness the summoning of this ghostly presence and bite our nails at the chaos that ensues in Mary's wake. In Mary: The Summoning, we learn about Jessica and how she relates to Bloody Mary. I read the first book in this duology at the beginning of this year. As an adult I know better, you check the toilet lid first LOL because you can still see Bloody Mary in the mirror with the light on ) TMI I know, that's how freaked out I was. I ran into the bathroom with the light off to pee and ended up accidently peeing on the toilet lid. I was so scared to see her in the mirror, I did the opposite of what you are supposed to do. When I was six years old, a friend told me the story of Bloody Mary. I of course have heard of Bloody Mary growing up. Yes! What a horrifying conclusion to this amazingly written duology.
