SOME BOOKS DESERVE TO BE READ JUST FOR THE PROSE.

… but a lot of those books are kind of boring. 

Mary Hades is NOT boring, but the prose is so beautiful it’s heart breaking and might make you think things like, “I should never be allowed to write again because it is obvious that I am committing gross sins against my native tongue,” whilst your drown your sorrows in dark chocolate. Or vodka. Your choice.

Mary Hades is about a girl who see things, and I mean things in the most literal meaning of the word. She sees scarecrows, skeletons, zombies, and mishmashes thereof whenever death is imminent.

Also, her best friend Lacey is a ghost—a very cheeky, loud-mouthed ghost.

There is a fantastic relationship drawn in simple strokes between Mary and her parents—it’s a typical awkward adult/teenage relationship, but what makes it wonderful is how realistically it is fraught with parents always wondering if they’re doing the right thing. There is romance, a goth couple that is hilarious, and if all that wasn’t enough—a terrific mystery of a dead child.

Mary Hades is available on Amazon, Amazon UKB&N, Kobo, and Google Play.
