I picked up "Scary Mary" for free on Amazon a few months ago.
From Amazon:PMary 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 Mary so angry that she uses the ghost to freak out everybody, Cy included. He 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'm in one of those moods where nothing sounds good. I pick up a book, read a few pages, and then find something else to do. I was hoping "Scary Mary" would be enough to suck me back in. It wasn't. It was alright. It's apparently part of a burgeoning series, with book 2, "Stalking Shadows", also available on Amazon. The second book actually sound really interesting, unfortunately I wasn't in love enough with "Scary Mary" to buy it. Such is life. I give "Scary Mary" a B-.
