This book was on my tbr list since last August when I saw a post about it in a group I follow and admire… (Litmosphere of course!! Duh!!)
Anyways, I finally craved some spooky tales (Halloween!!) so gave it a go!! I wanted to add my favorite quote, but it contains spoiler!! so thought better against it.. Also I thought this time I will add the GOODREADS synopsis before my review so it would be easier for everyone who haven’t read it yet to understand!! Here it goes…
SynopsisRoberta ‘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…
Review:As I said, I loved the retelling… We all heard about Bloody Mary, but who was she actually?? Was she really a evil person? Why did she die? What happened to her? There has been a lot of movies, stories using “Her” as a plot, but I loved how in this story “Her” story is also included, explained. I loved how despite of having no extreme bloody horror movie scenes, its gave me creeps!! (Trust me I am still frightened of mirrors!!)
The storyline was really gripping!! The story itself is set in a all girls boarding school, where the story starts in a Halloween Night. The main character Bobbie is a very interesting and smart. There is love interest, there is high school drama, bullying everything that will keep you going until the very end.
And….
The ending will shook you!!
Read it if you love a good scare ❤
