But Mary doesn’t tell them things are not under control at all. She is, as far as her parents know, controlling things with medication. Mary left her mental facility prematurely because of some incident that happened with a doctor trying to kill her there (one of those prequel events!), so I’m assuming she never really got the help she should have. Mary Hades (yes, her real name, poor thing) is a high school girl who was committed for psychosis, because she happens to be able to see ghosts. It’s almost more like starting a second book in a series rather than a first.Īnyway, I did come to understand what was going on, though maybe not as fully as I’d have liked to.
In fact, the events are mentioned so much that while reading you kind of feel like you missed out on a lot. This is the first book I’ve read that had a prequel novella, where the events that happened in that prequel were mentioned at all. But can she prevent her heart from being broken?Īs it was not told to me before I started this book, I’m telling you as a fellow professional reader: I STRONGLY encourage you to read the prequel novella before starting Mary Hades. Helped by her dead best friend and a quirky gay Goth couple, Mary must stop the unusual deaths occurring in Nettleby. But Mary is drawn to him in a way that has her questioning her judgement. Seth Lockwood-a local fairground worker with a dark secret-might be the key to uncovering the murky history that has blighted Nettleby.
Little does she know, evil lurks in the campsite… Nestled in the middle of five moors, Mary expects to have a boring week stuck in a caravan with her parents. Scarred physically and mentally from a fire, her parents decide a holiday to an idyllic village in North Yorkshire will help her recover. Not many seventeen year old girls have a best friend who’s a ghost, but then Mary Hades isn’t your average teenager.
