review 1: I have always been fascinated by urban legends and although I don't believe in Bloody Mary you won't see me calling her name in a dark room. But I really enjoyed how this story played out and I'm glad the their was no attempt at a happy ending, the best creepy books shouldn't. I liked the way they revealed the history of the young girl but not all at once. It made the twists more enjoyable. Overall a great modern take on a classic legend. I've been reading a lot of paranormal lately so I would have been ecstatic if there had been more violence to really show the power Mary has. But Hillary did a great job making a story that will make some people a little nervous to be near a mirror at night. (ok, I admit it, I had a few disturbing dreams last night lol!) Thanks Hillary fo... morer a great read and look forward to more!
review 2: 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 encounter with Mary and the situations as they occurred were very undeveloped and I kept flipping pages waiting for things to turn around and get better. When as I read the story just got worse and I got incredibly annoyed with the characters and found myself not caring for them in the slightest bit. Yes the plot was incredibly well thought out, but the writing was very poorly written and very bland when it came to anything exciting happening. Will I pick up the sequel if one so happens to be written possibly. This book just did not excite me at all. Even though this was a good take on an urban legend. less
