After Watson brother #1 ditched me at the altar, I stopped believing in happily-ever-afters. So Ihave no clue how I ended up saying “I do” to Brooks—Watson brother #2—somewhere between tequila shots and bad decisions. Okay, that may not be true. Sheriff Watson has been a charming thorn in my side ever since his brother left our small ranch town in his rearview mirror.

The portal will open, and Mary will not let it close. My Review Rose and Shye have a sleepover. They decide to play the Bloody Mary Game. Play the game but beware that the consequences can be deadly. Bloody Mary is always watching and waiting.  I am not really afraid of much. In fact, I love horror movies.
