Anyone who has read my review of Scary Mary will know that I really struggled to finish it because of personal reasons. Not so with this book. I was actually relieved to see the bullying take a backseat and it was interesting that Vicky reached out for Mary's help. I'm really curious to see if Vicky does in fact have psychic abilities. I'm figuring that she must do, if she was attacked as well.
Speaking of Vicky... she actually showed that there was more to her...more

Well, this is a first for me, a sequel that is better than the original.
This book felt much more confidently written, the pace was better, the plot developed more dramatically, no sudden gear changes that didn't feel quite right (that is not to say there are no sudden gear changes, but they worked as dramatic devices) and the plot did not rely on High School clichés nearly as much. There were some interesting developments on the loose ends from the first book too, character development I wasn't...more

Just as good as the first! I love it! Mary and Rachel are at it again, this time to help terrible Vicky, who was in a car accident with still POS Cy. But now Cy's brother, Kyle, whom Mary rescued from his possession in the first book, is hanging around Mary. And let's just face it, he is really starting to redeem himself from the way he treated her in the beginning of the previous book. While their budding relationship is by no means prominent in the story, it is there and I really enjoyed their...more

I liked this, the sequel of Scary Mary, better than the first. The characters seemed fleshed out more, especially those with skeletal structures holding them upright. The story was less about high school bullies and more about a girl with abilities beyond those of her peers. I found that refreshing. Bullies may always be there giving them any attention seems to give them power over us. Let just get on with being alive and in our own power.

Better then the first. If its possible this book was even better then the first. You can see Mary starting to really embrace her gift and use it well.
Mary is coming out of her shell a bit and learning to let people in. She is facing tougher challenges and kicking butt.
This story had me tearing up at the end. Mary has gone through so much and mixed in with the sadness and pain she is finding some friends that she didn't expect.
Great story and I am waiting anxiously for the next in the series.

Mary's nemisis, Vicky the cheerleader and most popular girl in the class, continues to harass Mary. When Vicky is injured, the only "friends" to visit her in the hospital are Mary and Rachel (Mary's best friend since little girls). Mary and Rachel volunteer at the hospital and hear of Vicky's accident. When Mary's special ability tells her Vicky is in danger, Mary works to save Vicky even though Vicky has been incredibly mean even forcing other children be mean to Mary. I like Mary's integrity.
Well, she did it again. Hunter brings Mary and crew back for another creepy, yet fun adventure full of wit, snark, creeptastic moments and a whole lotta heart. The sophomore slump certainly did not beguile Hunter as she leads Mary down a new path, helping those she never intended (or really wanted to), introduction of new and exciting characters, continued development of existing ones, and the prospect of far more to come! Honestly one of the best series I've come across in some time.
I loved the first book and I loved this one. It has all the wit, excitement, and heart pounding moments as the first book had, but this time there's heartbreak as well. She puts clues all throughout the book but so subtly that you never know until the very end! It's an OH YEA moment! I can't wait to read more and hope there's a lot more to come with this series. LOVE it!!!! Mary is definitely my kind of gal.
Not bad at all! The first book had been a slow start for me but the new budding friendly between Mary and a couple of unexpected characters is keeping me interested. Slow start to the series, but now I'm looking forward to the third book for when it comes out!
wow! Kyle & Mary... who would have thought! didn't see that coming in book 1, but started thinking it mid way through book 2. definitely hooked and patiently waiting for book 3! homecoming! Such an awesome series! Great writing.
I really love reading about Mary's adventures and not just because I read them for free. I hope there will be many more books featuring her. Read about Mary
A reasonable sequel to Scary Mary, though I had the niggling feeling that more could've been done in this book. Too much seem to be wrapped up too quickly. At times it had a short story feel to it. I know this book is only young adult market, still that does not stop the author adding any more to the plot. So in summary it felt more Scooby Doo than Harry Potter.
Another brilliant story. If you like a good paranormal story without all the gore and pointless violence then read S A Hunter
Better than the first. Looking forward to book #3. Just wish Chowder would have stuck around. :(
Even better han book one.
Another fun read in the Scary Mary series. I'll be waiting eagerly now for the third one to be finished :)
I hope the author writes more books in this series.
A fun book aimed at teens but a nice easy read non scary ghost book
I'm ready for book three.
An adorable little YA book that was cutely creepy, sarcastically funny, and a little bit of a tear jerker. I can see so much progress in S.A. Hunter's writing with each book. She could very easily become a force to be reckoned with if she continues the Scary Mary series.
