Mary: The Summoning
Mary: The Summoning | Hillary Monahan
8 posts | 9 read | 17 to read
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?

Decided I needed a spooky, ghostly, Halloween read (since I love all things ghost-related), and this one definitely fit the the bill. It had a bit of a “Ring” vibe, especially in the vivid descriptions of the ghost (which is rather graphic, so warning if you‘re not into that kind of stuff). Also, some fun history in solving the background of Mary. Also a sequel, as it‘s a duology , which I‘ll def read.

I‘m going with one of my daughter‘s kindle books for today #screamathonphotochallenge prompt.

I‘ve always loved urban legends, and I may have accidentally gotten my kids hooked on Supernatural when they were too young for it. 🤷🏻‍♀️ That led to Sophie shopping for books like this one, which she loved. Maybe some day I will read it, too.

I am not good at social media let me tell you. I‘m back again, sorta. I‘m going to try to make the effort to be more active here on Litsy, but I‘ve sang this tune before!

That aside, I recently picked up this book and the sequel. It is a really interesting modern urban legend related horror book. That was a mouthful. Hahaha. Anyway, I recommend it for the jibbies.

Bookzombie And I‘m working on a letter to you. I will mail it this weekend no matter what. 😁 6y

This book is a big 'ol hell no for me. I have always been terrified of the idea of someone coming out of a mirror. My friends would play Bloody Mary & I would either bolt from the room or refuse to go in. #uncannyoctober #faceyourfears
