Mary, Will I Die?

Shawn Sarles

3 1 rating · 1 review on Book Nook

"It starts innocently enough. Four kids - three girls, one boy - are at one of their houses, playing games. One of them has read about 'Bloody Mary' and the idea that if you look into a mirror and say her name thirteen times, she will show you the future. Some legends say she'll show you your one true love or a skull to mark your death within five years. Others say that conjuring Bloody Mary will bring her into your world"--

This was a tough review to write, because I think this may have been written for a younger audience.. so I am conflicted. -I do think this book was written for children 10- 15 age range. -the beginning started out making me think ooh some crazy things are about to happen to these characters later on. Besides SOME momentary artistic ( drawing out his )visions of SOME Final Destination situations from our male character Calvin, nothing scary happens. - Characters- Elena, Steph, Gracie and Calvin all former car pool riding friends. They grow apart and the only useful and likeable character is Calvin. Elena- just has pent up anger issues. Steph- is a closeted lesbian who is kinda clueless. Gracie- nothing really remarkable to remember about her. Calvin- I really like his character development. He has headaches that cause visions of terrible situations. And he draws them right before they happen. He is my favorite. But in all this book ( had it not seemed to be written for children ) had great potential to do some haunted dark hurt on people. Was just a mild semi-unscary campfire tale.
