About this audiobook
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.
Both sets of legends are true. The kids go through with the act, saying her name thirteen times. They try to laugh it off. And mostly they forget about it. Or at least they don't talk about it. Yes, over the next few years, whenever they look into a mirror, it's like there's always another figure standing in the background, getting closer.
Just short of five years later, the four of them are no longer friends. The girl whose house it was has always tried to avoid the mirror they used. One morning as she's passing by, she sees much more than her own reflection-it's a scary figure taunting her. She startles and breaks the mirror. When the pieces are put back together (barely), the figure is gone.
That day in school, a new girl arrives. Her name is Mary . . .

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5First, this was pitched as YA but really should be considered middle-grade. The writing and story was very “young” in tone. The twist on the Bloody Mary legend was interesting, but it was hard to get invested with so many rotating POVs and so much… pointlessness? I think it was supposed to make things real, but mostly the story development felt tedious. This wasn’t terrible, but it wasn’t great. And as for scary? Definitely not.
