Scary Mary by S.A Hunter
Product Description
Mary has always been different. She’d like to be
normal, but being able to hear ghosts means she’ll never be like everyone else.
She starts her junior year of high school hoping to be left alone, but Cyrus
Asher is new and doesn’t know or seem to care that she’s an outcast. They start
hanging out and all is well until she goes over to his house. Cy’s house is
haunted, and not by Caspar, the friendly ghost.
But it’s not the ghost that ruins the evening.
That honor belongs to Vicky “The Hickey” Nelson with her borrowed Ouija board
and stuck-up friends. They make her so angry that she uses the ghost to freak
out everybody. Cy orders her out and Mary thinks she’s lost whatever chance she
had with him. But there’s still the ghost to deal with. He’s mean, nasty, and
possibly homicidal. She has to get rid of him or Cy and his family could be
hurt. Or worse.
I downloaded this
Indie on a Freebie whim. The slightly amateur cover (which has since been updated to this lovely one above) hides
a real gem. I can’t get over how much I really enjoyed this story. I consumed
it quickly and was loathed to put it down – it’s a fast paced tale with
characters that immediately click. I
can’t wait to read the sequels to this! It's an
entertaining piece of story telling with good characterization, an absorbing
story line and a sense of world building that is both believable and a good
place to hang out.
There is a
delightful sense of humour and lightness of touch that runs through the story.
Can’t recommend this highly enough for readers of teen paranormal romance and
ghost stories – and even better still, it’s still currently on free download.
5 STARS (Well deserved)
