sorry it took me forever to read this. my computer was wonky for a while there. and then i forgot about it. Which is a bad thing to do. but i did finally finish it and i must say i am impressed. :)Mary is a sort of modern day twist on the childhood story of Bloody Mary. I loved the spooky in this book. If you want scary- like don't read this book while you are home alone (stupid me!) scary- then you should read this book. I do not read a lot of ghost stories simply for the terror and this one wi...more

Morgan le Fay: I spook easily. Just putting that out there.
Eowyn: Really? You’re braver than I am. I don’t spook; I terrify easily. Although Mary didn’t spook or terrify me.
Morgan le Fay: Mary is a spooky little book. I say “little” in that I read it entirely in about 2 hours. Having finished it shortly after 1 a.m., I fought the urge to get up and turn on every light in the house. Or at least to cover up all the mirrors.

An entertaining and riveting read. Simply delightful. From the moment I began reading I was pulled into the story. I could not wait to find out what was going to happen next. It leaves the reader wondering as to what's coming next.
The only drawback for me was the speed with which the relationships were developed. In spite of this I thoroughly enjoyed the story and would definitely recommend it.
