Happy Halloween Readers,
I am a sucker for the Legend of Bloody Mary and this book
was the perfect companion for the legend.
Like most people in their thirties, I grew up with the Legend
of Bloody Mary and I have reread this book every spooky season since 2019 (I think).
What I love about Say Her Name is that it isn’t just a retelling of the myth as
we learn the back-story along with the characters through the ways Mary appears
to them as you follow them along with their investigation as they put the
pieces of Mary's past together.
It doesn’t matter how many times I have reread this book
it still gives me the creeps. Say Her
Name pretty much has everything I love in good horror stories held within its
pages. The atmosphere is dark and palpable and it effortless brings the story
to life. By the end of the book despite it tying up all the loose ends nicely it
makes you second guess everything you just read.
The three main characters Bobbie, Naya and Caine were extremely
likeable although they have their eye rolling moments. Such as when they say
her name in front of a mirror then they all giggled and make fun of the
situation. They are just begging for Bloody Mary to Samara herself out the
mirror. You just know it’s not going to end well. I liked them all, but I find
myself slightly liking Bobbie more as I think I would have acted and reacted
the same way.
This is the perfect read for the spooky season it has a terrifying
ghost, funny moments, running around to save your life, and a little sprinkle of
romance thrown into the mix.
