Justine Bowman's review Mar 06, 12    editbookshelves: march-reading-challenge, read-2-reviewRead from March 04 to 06, 2012This is a Read 2 Review book. I received it free from the author to review the book.Mary Margaret just turned fifteen. She is orphaned and lives with her grandmother who is slowly losing her mind. After Mary's fifteenth birthday she starts to hear voices and see shadows.*SPOILER ALERT*This book starts off about Mary and he cousin Andy. Mary lives with her grandmother because her parents were in a car accident and died. Andy can fix anything, he is a mechanic. Their grandmother is slowly losing her mind from age. one day a child comes up to Mary on the street. His eyes are black and he has a strange voice. He attacks Mary, luckily Andy drives up at the same time and their dog Lucy is let out of the house at the same time. They together fight off the demon child. They run home. Andy wants to know what is going on. Grandmother tells the that " they" want Mary's power and she needs to start listening to her dreams, and never to go in the basement. Then grandmother has a heart attack and is rushed to the hospital.The next part of the book is about Emmeline. She is the character from the prologue. She is a physic. Andy contacts her and she agrees to help Mary. They do an exorcism on grandmothers house. In the process grandmother dies and so does Lucy their dog. They gave their lives to give Mary the light she needed to fight the demon.We also learn that Andy is somewhat of a healer. He healed Emmeline when she was stabbed. And now he can fix any car without instructions he just does it.I enjoyed this book. I got a little confused when Mary was taken by the demon. I don't actually remember he defeating him. There was just grandmother and the pool and Lucy. Then Mary stated she wanted to go home and got to. So I wish that part had been a little more clear but overall a good read.Thanks Hannah!
