"Waiting On" Wednesday: MARY: The Summoning (Bloody Mary #1) by Hillary Monahan



"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event that spotlights eagerly-anticipated upcoming releases.




Title: MARY: The Summoning
Book Series: Bloody Mary, Book #1
Genres: YA, Paranormal, Horror
Release Date: September 2, 2014

There is a right way and a wrong way to summon her.

Jess had done the research. Success requires precision: a dark room, a mirror, a candle, salt, and four teenage girls. Each of them--Jess, Shauna, Kitty, and Anna--must link hands, follow the rules . . . and never let go.

A thrilling fear spins around the room the first time Jess calls her name: "Bloody Mary. Bloody Mary. BLOODY MARY." A ripple of terror follows when a shadowy silhouette emerges through the fog, a specter trapped behind the mirror.

Once is not enough, though--at least not for Jess. Mary is called again. And again. But when their summoning circle is broken, Bloody Mary slips through the glass with a taste for revenge on her lips. As the girls struggle to escape Mary's wrath, loyalties are questioned, friendships are torn apart, and lives are forever altered.

A haunting trail of clues leads Shauna on a desperate search to uncover the legacy of Mary Worth. What she finds will change everything, but will it be enough to stop Mary--and Jess--before it's too late?

As a youngin', I definitely experimented with summoning Bloody Mary and freaked myself out quite a bit. So, I'm interested in a nostalgic kind of way. But also, there's so much you can do with this legend, it seems like it could be a very interesting retelling.
