Mary Hades: Beginnings
From My Daylight Monsters, to Possess. This box set features two full-length novels, one novella and two short stories, all arranged conveniently for maximum enjoyment. Immerse yourself in the macabre world of Mary Hades, a YA horror series with a difference.
My Daylight Monsters (Amazon bestselling Kindle Single):
I always thought my demons came out in the day, rather than at night. I’ve never been scared of the dark. I’ve only ever been scared of real things: getting ill, having injections, physical pain… death. Those are my monsters, not ghosts or vampires or whatever else can hide under your bed at night.
I was wrong.
The dark makes everything worse.
When 17-year-old Mary Hades is admitted by her parents to a psychiatric unit, her worst nightmares are confirmed. How can she get better in a place that fills her with dread? Her friendships with the other patients — her wacky roommate Lacey, her protector Mo, and the mysterious, green-eyed Johnny — begin to fill her with hope, until she realizes that people in the hospital are dying without explanation. Something sinister stalks the corridors, and it’s up to Mary to stop it. But the closer she gets to the answer, the more perilous her situation becomes, and Mary discovers the only way to get out alive is to confront the things that scare her most.
Mary Hades (Book One):
Not many seventeen year old girls have a best friend who’s a ghost, but then Mary Hades isn’t your average teenager.
Scarred physically and mentally from a fire, her parents decide a holiday to an idyllic village in North Yorkshire will help her recover. Nestled in the middle of five moors, Mary expects to have a boring week stuck in a caravan with her parents. Little does she know, evil lurks in the campsite…
Seth Lockwood—a local fairground worker with a dark secret—might be the key to uncovering the murky history that has blighted Nettleby. But Mary is drawn to him in a way that has her questioning her judgement.
Helped by her dead best friend and a quirky gay Goth couple, Mary must stop the unusual deaths occurring in Nettleby. But can she prevent her heart from being broken?
A spine-tingling tale with romance, readers will be shocked and entertained in equal measure. With some scenes of horror and some strong language, this book is best suited for readers aged fifteen and up.
Shadow - A short story:
When Mary visits her Aunt Izzy's remote seaside bungalow, past and present collide. She soon realises a dark shadow hangs over her childhood memories, leaving her a task she would rather not complete... A haunting ghost story that explores the delicate relationships between women.
Sister - A short story:
In 1997 Isabel Quirke sits down to write a letter to her sister. A letter she never intends to send. Within the pages of that letter she describes the frightening events that lead up to the disintegration of their relationship.
Susan Quirke, before she became Susan Hades--mother of Mary--goes through a transformation so extreme it changes her forever. Her younger sister Isabel can only watch.
Possess - Book Two:
Mary Hades is drawn back into the world of the macabre as she moves with her family into the mysterious old house, Ravenswood. The mere mention of Ravenswood induces terror among the locals, and when strange things begin to occur, Mary and Lacey decide to get to the bottom of the secret hidden in the historic house once and for all.

I recieved the box set of Mary Hades Beginnings which included My Daylight Monsters, Mary Hades, Shadow, Sister and Possess, written by Sarah Dalton. She has published these on her own, so please share this review and let's get the word out that there is a new Author in town and she is FANTASTIC!
These are all young adult books, however, I think that should be changed to "anyone that loves to read". I am 50 years old and I was completely absorbed before I finished reading page one of book one.
Mary is a 17 yr old girl in the UK, just your typical teenager who has just witnessed something horrific. Now she goes to the hospital for a rest and to get her head straight on the advice of her doctor and prodded by her Mum.
As Sarah Dalton introduces each character I am amazed at how fully they are described, I feel like I am with them in this ward. And I just know that something is going to happen and I am on the edge of my seat the whole time.
The book flows and keeps you turning the pages. There is true life family issues that any reader can relate to. There is mystery that keeps you guessing as to what will happen, who is the bad guy and why is this happening. There is magic and adventure.
All your questions are answered before you finish reading. And even though the Sarah Dalton leaves you satisfied by the time you are done reading through these, you find that you still want more. I cannot wait until the next book in the Mary Hades series comes out, Nocturnes. I recommend this book if you love history, romance, mystery, magic, ghosts, bestfriend stories or even dark novels. I recommend this book to all ages, I truly enjoyed this book and I will miss Mary until we meet again.

I got this book for free in exchange for an honest review.
I think a 2.5 rating would be more accurate for this collection. On the whole, I liked the story. It was very well told, was entertaining, and I liked the subject, but it cut it just a little short to keep me turning pages, which in turn made me take forever to finish it.
So, while the idea and execution were nice, I think the failure was in my age. There are YA books that can be appreciated by anyone, and there are YA books that are just a little "simple" (stylistically speaking, I don't think there's a better way for me to describe this). I honestly think had I been 13 or 16 I would have enjoyed this one a lot more. I can definitely see a younger girl or boy who is into ghosts and mystery and such enjoying the book plenty. Me, I just couldn't quite get into it even though I liked it. That doesn't mean someone else who's even older than me might not enjoy it, but for me it didn't quite cut it. I didn't identify in any way with the main character, and even if I didn't dislike her, I couldn't quite find myself rooting for her either.
Perhaps it was also that I was expecting a bit more "horror" than we got.
I would still recommend this to YA enthusiasts or actual YAs.

Not what I expected
I’m not usually one to be able to get into books with a British storyline, for some reason they seem so difficult to follow (maybe bc of the slight lingo and spelling differences). Anyhow, I absolutely loved these! Whether you’re like me and have some reservations about British based books or you love them or have no thoughts either way-you really must try this set out.
I expected at any time for the protagonist to be presented as, say, the daughter of Satan or Lucifer -Mary Hades, seems legitimate for that to be an assumption, right? Well, either way-totally enjoyed the entire walk through this story!
TO THE AUTHOR—-Keep up the great work

My Daylight Monsters (Mary Hades 0.5)
Seventeen-year-old Mary Hades can see ‘things’ that no one else can; she doesn’t quite know what these things are, but they are scary. After an incident at school, Mary is diagnosed with schizophrenia and Mary’s mother decides to place Mary in a psychiatric institute for a few weeks until she is better. Mary is skeptical, but wants to get better. Once in the ward Mary meets her roommate Lacey and they create a fast friendship. Mary also notices some other patients that are no longer living. Then, she notices that patients in another ward are dying very often.
This novella packed a lot of punch. I knew something good was going to happen as soon as Mary was sent to the psychiatric hospital. I loved Mary (and her awesome name!) she is very realistic in trying to deal with her issues both normal and paranormal. Mary was caring and observant and formed friendships with the other teens in the ward. All of the characters were well developed and felt like people that I might know. The mystery folded in with the ghost story made for a creepy and exciting read. It was nice to see how Mary began to deal with her powers and the beginning of her friendship with Lacey.
Mary Hades (Mary Hades #1):
Mary’s family decides to take her on a vacation in Nettleby after Mary’s traumatic stay in a psychiatric ward. They want her to relax and maybe find a summer romance. Little do they know that Mary can still see and talk to her dead best friend, Lacey or that the small town harbors a ghost legend about a young girl that was killed five years prior who now haunts the moors killing unsuspecting men. Mary happens to find her summer romance in a boy named Seth. However, Seth is harboring a secret that connects him to ties him to the dangerous ghost.
Picking up right after My Daylight Monsters, Mary now has the constant companionship of her dead best friend, Lacy which makes for an entertaining companionship. Lacey’s personality as a ghost is hilarious. I’m glad that Mary became more confident in herself and with her powers in this book. The mystery of Amy the ghost and her connection with Seth were intriguing and kept me interested. I’m glad that I got to learn more about ghosts, what they can become, and the ‘things’ that Mary sees. Mary finds a mentor in Igor, the local ghost tour guide; and with his help, she finds a purpose for her strange powers. I’m interested to see what Mary does next with her new knowledge.
Shadow ( Mary Hades 1.25)
Mary visits her Aunt Izzy's seaside home to watch the comet pass through the night sky. The visit brings tension between Mary and her mom. Her mom and Aunt Izzy have not gotten along in years, but Mary visits anyway knowing that her aunt will need her. When Mary arrives, she notices strange shadows. Mary must put her new ghost skills to use and make some difficult family decisions.
This short story gives some insight into Mary's family and some of the tensions brewing between Mary's mom and her Aunt. The ghost story involved was fairly simple, but divulged another family secret which put Mary in a difficult spot. It was nice to see Mary in an environment with more freedom and less judgement from her parents where she was freely allowed to practice her new ghost skills. A quick, short story giving some insight into Mary's family.
Sister (Mary Hades 1.5)
A short story where Mary's aunt Izzy writes a letter to Mary's mother about an incident from when the two sisters were younger. Izzy remembers a time when Mary's mom, Susan was not herself; Susan doesn't seem to remember or acknowledge this time in her life, but it may explain something about Mary and Izzy and Susan's relationship.
A short, intense story that explains a lot about the dynamic between Susan and Izzy; this event seemed to be the turning point in their relationship that no one wants to talk about. I am really interested in knowing the truth about the event; it is set up to be a paranormal event, but can be explained by weird teenage hormones and growing up. I'm expecting it to be a great set-up for the next full book, Possess.
Possess (Mary Hades #2)
Mary's family makes a hasty decision to move so that her father would be closer to his work. Mary's father finds a older home called Ravenswood. As soon as Mary and her mother arrive, something just doesn't feel right to Mary; but she or Lacey don't feel or see any other ghosts. The people in town become anxious whenever they learn of where Mary lives, a strange neighbor hints at the paranormal and Mary's mom begins acting differently. Mary finds a diary in Ravenswood written by a girl named Liza during the Victorian era. The diary entries slowly unlock the mystery of the evil force within the house as it takes over her mother.
This is my favorite book of the series so far. The mystery is very involved and not the typical ghost story that has been presented in the other book and novella. Possess has a mixture of an evil force, a possession, and multiple ghosts which added suspense and amped up the creepy factor. Since I am also a sucker for dual time lines, the addition of Liza's diary was a bonus for me. Not only was Liza someone that Mary could easily identify with, but her experiences were a good parallel to what Mary was dealing with in the present with her mother. Mary is able to grow and learn even more when she must face the evil within Ravenswood and I'm glad that things got even scarier. I can't wait to see where things will go next with Mary.

Mary is amazing
Loved the stories. Book two was just wow. If you like strong characters then Mary is your girl. She might be just starting out but I think by book two she is figuring it out.

Page turner
Great book, it might be a young adult book but even I got caught up in it and couldn't put it down at 37 :). It's not very often I find a book that has me flipping through the pages at every possible opportunity, but this was definitely one. I'm going to have to check out some other books by this author.

I won this book through Library Thing in exchange for an honest review.
First of all, the person that picks up this book and then just says it sucks, is dearly questioned by me. I loved it!!Honestly I love all YA books that are related to ghost, mystery, and suspense, and YES! I loved this one.
The book is about a 17yr old girl, Mary, who lives in the UK. She is your typical teenage girl, but she witnesses something that causes her to be checked into the hospital.
The author did an amazing job describing each character into detail. The book flowed perfectly, and yes!!! It was such a page turner, it definitely kept me in the edge of my seat. By the end of the book, I was quite satisfied, and now I am itching to read the next one.
I totally recommend this book! Go ahead and read it, you will not regret it!!!!

This is by far the best young adult/paranormal series that I have read in a very long time. The way that Sarah brings the stories to life with details and action and oh my favorite, the angst. Absolutely brilliant! I really liked how unique and relatable the characters were. Sarah really brought them to life making you feel like you have known them forever. The relationship between Mary and Lacey was by far my favorite. A person can only be so lucky to find a friendship like theirs. I wouldn't mind if this series went on and on. I loved being with these characters and going along with their adventures.

Just My Kind Of Trouble
This isn't the genre I usually read and I think I picked these stories up for my 19 year-old, but once I started reading I just could not put this down. I just kept wanting to know what was going to happen to Mary next. The characters were believable and I loved the mix of personalities and the humor that was incorporated. I could picture myself hanging out with Mary and her friends when I was young. I would have been just my kind of trouble.

This was a set I enjoyed. I love a good mystery and this book gave me this. I enjoyed the authors introduction in to each character. Sarah gave us good details! This book kept me on the edge of my seat and I would be happy to read the next book. *I received this set from the author through a LibraryThing giveaway in exchange for an honest review*

I love this series, got the boxed set, and couldn't put it down. Love the story line an details, that actually scared me a little, I read at night an do not scare easy. But I did get a few chills reading this boxed set. On to book three. For paranormal lovers, I definitely recommend this series..
February 25, 2016
Never knowing what was going to happen is the best part of these books. Characters you can really get to know, with their experiences being so different in each part. I am sure this will be loved and more wanted to the adventures going. Wonderful author with a superb imagination.
