Mary just wants to be left alone, but the cheerleaders, jocks, and ghosts won't stop harrassing her. When new student Cyrus starts school, he tries to befriend her.

Definitely the best free book I've read in a long time. The characters were well-written and well-rounded. I could really identify with Mary and, as an adult, want to smack her guidance counselor.
A definite must read for young adults wanting something different.
I am only giving it a 4/5 due to a few minor grammatical problems, not enough to detract from the enjoyment of the story, but the occasional "she" does take some figuring out as to who it refers.

Although this is listed as a young adult book, I enjoyed it very much, and I'm pushing 40. Mary is funny, smart, and deals with her gift very well. The supporting characters are also fleshed out; everyone has a realistic personality. Loved this book and just purchased the sequel, Stalking Shadows.

It's a young adult book, about a girl who can hear ghosts. It's extremely well written & edited, & is better then a lot of the books I get to review that you have to pay money for. The plot moves along very well, there are no slow parts, & the story wraps up very nicely in the end. It's well worth the read. I'd love to hear more about Scary Mary, as she's just a fun, scarcastic, great all around character.

Scary Mary definitely lives up to the title and I loved all of Mary's comebacks and sarcastic remarks.This is a book that I'd recommend to anyone who enjoys a good haunted house story and to fans of the paranormal genre.

Rating: 4 (I Really Liked It) As soon as Mary opened her mouth, I knew I was going to like her character. She is the school “freak” but doesn’t take guff from anyone, even the adults…or the ghosts. Then there is Cyrus, the new kid. I loved it when he totally dismisses the popular crowd and immediately takes an interest in Mary, much to her surprise. Cy ends up taking a trip to asshat land when spooky things happen in his house and he blames Mary for it. But then he has a redeeming moment that brings his character back into my good graces. I did think the whole jerk phase was a bit out of character for him so I felt it was only a matter of time before he came around...

I enjoyed this a lot. I wanted to be Mary's friend. The only complaint that I have is that it was entirely too short. I want to know what happens with Cy and Mary or even Mary and Kyle. Please tell me that there are more books to come from this story.
