Source: Library Mary: The Summoning does the Bloody Mary legend good. Hillary Monahan moves the story along with a purpose, and by the time you’re done with the first book, you need the second one on-hand immediately. (I’ve already reserved the second book at the library.) We do get a complete sto...
Some of the aspects, like the building up of suspense and plot, were truly well done. I had a hard time coping with the narrator's best friend, though. It was a good idea to use Shauna as a narrator for a couple reasons. One being that the plot would have been far different if she'd narrated, ...
Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary, Bloody Mary. So, funny story, I was planning on reading this one today (Friday 30th October). But last night I couldn't sleep and thus decided to read this. And then 2 hours later I closed the book. Did I sleep much afterwards? Hahaha, no, not really. But I really really wa...
Unfortunately it fails to be a scary book. Sure, Mary is constantly there, in the mirror, in any glass, in the bathroom, but although I know she is, and the girls know they are hunted by her, it is not scary. The writing was off. I never felt thrilled nor a bit of excitement with Mary on the picture...
There is a right way and a wrong way to summon Bloody Mary. And Jess knows how to do it.

But when it actually happens, it's pretty scary and is eno...
As a little girl this game was always played at many slumber parties. I remember one time someone double-dared me to do it. I did it but man on the third time I said her name, I bolted towards the door. LOL! I don’t think I have ever been so scared in my life. When I think back at it, I realized ho...
"The whole thing felt eerie, despite my logical reasoning that the summoning was ridiculous. I'd played Bloody Mary at slumber parties with these same girls when we were twelve. Trying again in high school seemed a waste of time--but there was a strange exhilaration to it, too." This is a well wr...
I give this book 3.5 stars for originality of an urban legend I have heard a million different versions of and whether they be true or false this was a good take on it, but I couldn't get over how this was written and how mary was described as being . The characters I thought who experienced an enco...
"Mary: The Summoning" is spooky and creepy -- when it wants to be. Unfortunately, there's a lot for readers to slog through to get to those spine-tingling moments.
