Here's the deal. Scary movies aren't my thing. They scare me. But for some reason, I want to read scary/horror/thriller/gory YA books. (Not adult, because that'd be too scary.) I haven't found much of that (or read much), but when I saw the cover of this book I was instantly interested. It looks scary good, but there's no way I'm saying her name...

Roberta 'Bobbie' Rowe is not the kind of person who believes in ghosts. A Halloween dare at her ridiculously spooky boarding school is no big deal, especially when her best friend Naya and cute local boy Caine agree to join in too. They are ordered to summon the legendary ghost of 'Bloody Mary': say her name five times in front of a candlelit mirror, and she shall appear... But, surprise surprise, nothing happens. Or does it?
Next morning, Bobbie finds a message on her bathroom mirror... five days... but what does it mean? And who left it there? Things get increasingly weird and more terrifying for Bobbie and Naya, until it becomes all too clear that Bloody Mary was indeed called from the afterlife that night, and she is definitely not a friendly ghost. Bobbie, Naya and Caine are now in a race against time before their five days are up and Mary comes for them, as she has come for countless others before... A truly spine-chilling yet witty horror from shortlisted 'Queen of Teen' author James Dawson.

I'm with you. This one looks so amazing. I love a good scary book (and movie lol) and this one looks so good. Great pick!
ReplyDeleteBloody Mary has always been one of my favorite go-to scary childhood stories, so I may have to overlook my fear of scary stories and read this! :D

I don't really like anything scary but the premise for this is incredibly intriguing with its incorporation of Bloody Mary.
