Mary O’Reilly #3
Nunca Olvidada
Bradley Alden caminó lentamente por los largos y estrechos pasillos delimitados por las estanterías. Justo antes de llegar a la esquina, oyó un ruido, el sonido de un cuerpo al caer al suelo y se dirigió hacia allí rápidamente.
La mesa estaba vacía. La silla había sido empujada en su contra, claramente esperando a su ocupante habitual. No había nadie. Nadie allí que hubiera podido hacer tal ruido. Nadie...vivo.
Un escalofrío atravesó su espina dorsal. Quería huir de allí. En cambio, se acercó un poco más.
Se acercó a la ventana y miró hacia afuera. La nieve caía suavemente sobre los tejados de la ciudad de Freeport. Era la víspera de Navidad, una noche de magia y paz.
"Vete a casa."
Bradley se sobresaltó. La voz había venido justo detrás de él.
Incluso antes de que se volviera, sabía que no había nadie allí.
Se frotó la parte posterior del cuello, todavía frío ante el susurro de aquellas palabras.
"Quienquiera que seas," dijo él en voz alta, "no estaré aquí mucho más tiempo. Lo prometo."

The curse had killed another law enforcement officer in Stephenson County – this time it struck on Christmas Eve. Nearly a dozen good men had died in the past four years and they all had the same unexplained symptoms. And Mary knew Bradley was next.
***There are some minor spoilers in this review, but just small things, and nothing that should ruin the reading experience plot wise.
2.5 stars. Never Forgotten is the third book in the Mary O'Reilly series and so far the worst. I liked the first book despite its flaws, but with each book this series has gotten weaker and weaker. Yet again we are told who the killer is. I really am frustrated with the lack of mystery for the reader to solve. Why not keep us guessing? It would make the stories so much more interesting if we had to figure everything out along with Mary and Bradley. However, I know good and well I would have figured it out long before they did, which is another problem with this series. Bradley needs to turn in his badge and Mary needs to give up being a P.I. because it was so obvious who did it and how they did it that these two have lost all credibility as a police chief and an ex-cop, not that they had a lot to begin with, especially Mary. And I'm not just saying that because I was privy to information they didn't have. There was so much staring them in the face that they were too dumb to see.
We also get a little more info on Bradley's missing wife Jeannine, but I am completely frustrated with this aspect of the book. There are several questions that come to mind like why all of a sudden are there the ghost rules that Jeannine says she has to follow? None of the other ghosts have had rules. And why after his wife has been missing for 8 years, and he has clearly moved on wouldn't Bradley be able to accept that his wife may be dead? It seems like that would be an easier thing to accept than that she walked out on him while pregnant and completely disappeared. Why didn't Bradley realize he had a near death experience and not just a dream when he saw Jeanine while near death? Why didn't he ask about their daughter? And why wouldn't Mary drop bigger hints about Jeanine to help Bradley come to the right conclusion about her, even if she couldn't just come out and tell him she was dead herself? None of it really makes any sense and it all just seems contrived to draw out the mystery - the only real mystery in this series so far - out for several books.
I'm glad I listened to most of this one on Audible while working around the house, so I didn't really feel like I wasted a huge amount of time on it since I was doing other things too. I feel so frustrated with this series that I've decided not to keep reading it, even to find out exactly what happened to Jeanine.

Good Read...
Enjoyed reading this book. Kept my interest. The Mary O' Reilly series never disappoints this reader. They always seem to keep me reading long after I should have been asleep.

Acabado el tercer libro y me ha parecido un poco empachosa la historia de "amor" que es un querer y no poder... Los casos están correctos pero bueno, todo es perfecto y maravilloso... Empachoso...

Tercer libro de la serie protagonizada por Mary O’Reilly, una singular detective cuyo mayor don es ver fantasmas.
Al contrario que en los anteriores libros en los que había una trama principal y luego una investigación secundaria relacionada con un fantasma que quiere cerrar un asunto pendiente, casi de forma anecdótica, en este libro la autora nos presenta dos tramas independientes, de forma tal que no hay una trama principal y otra secundaria, sino que las dos tienen su protagonismo.
Este libro resulta más oscuro que los anteriores, más intenso, con tramas que abordan temas muy duros como son la violencia de género y familiar. Pero no por ello el ritmo se ralentiza o cambia; el estilo sigue siendo ágil, de lectura fácil y con escenas rápidas.
Me ha gustado mucho más que el segundo y más que el primero también, lo que me da ganas de continuar con el cuarto libro. Pena que aún no haya sido traducido ninguno de los restantes libros de la serie, que ya va por veinte.

OK - this series was never anything other than bubble gum for the mind, but the first 2 books were interesting and entertaining. Then book 3 goes all Christian. Weird. I guess I should be grateful I have one less series to read.
September 14, 2019
En mi opinión, este libro está bastante mejor que el segundo de la serie sigue siendo bastante predecible, ya que, se sabe quién es el malo antes de llegar a la mitad todo, pero es interesante ver como se resolverá todo.
También la trama de esta novela me ha parecido más interesante que la de la anterior. La autora sigue teniendo un estilo ágil que entretiene y se lee en un suspiro.

The writing style for Terri Reid's Mary O'Reilly mysteries seem to be getting better as each book comes out, which is a plus. However, this third book in the series doesn't seem to be as exciting as the first book (much like the second book wasn't as exciting). We've got a whole slew of mentally disturbed victim/murderers here who are a result of childhood traumas, resulting in innocently dead bystanders. The concept isn't so bad and DOES touch on the awareness of domestic violence, tying in with the mysteries.
I'm not sure what made this book seem mediocre to me compared the first or second one, but it just didn't seem to quite fit. Maybe it was the hanging progression of Bradley's closure on his wife's death and her insistence that Mary remain quiet about it. Maybe it was the too quick development of the love line, knowing very well that Bradley is still hung up on his missing wife. Maybe this particular murder mystery just didn't intrigue me as much as the first one did.
Setting all of those aside, my two star rating doesn't mean that I think this book was terrible (the little hovering descriptions says that a two star rating equals "it was ok", which doesn't mean it was bad, which makes me wonder why the Goodreads ratings are so nice for some other books). I just didn't really like it as much as I thought I would. I still really enjoy the Mary O'Reilly paranormal universe and the I still really love the characters Terri Reid has created in this universe. The two best friends, Stanely and Rosie are the epitome of wonderful. The introduction of Mike the ghost who has self-claimed himself Watson to Mary's Sherlock is also a delight. And a lot of the recurring town's characters are nice to see every so often (I like how this story is set in a small town where everyone knows each other well enough).
But other than that, this particular book in this series didn't interest me very much, and that was about it.

This is the third in the series and I like Mary O'Reilly and her friends. Mary is a good psychic private eye although I do wonder how she can make enough money to make a business out of it. Mary and Bradley are together; Stanley and Rosie are her friends who are encouraging the blossoming romance. This volume covers the topic of domestic abuse and the author wrote a little about that and the statistics in the afterward. I liked her doing that. Of course it wouldn't be a Mary O'Reilly book without the necessary ghosts and I enjoyed Sam the ghost and Mike who wants to help Mary in the future. Whether he's still around in the next volume we have to see. They are strong female ghosts too, a couple realizing their weakness when they were alive and determined to help Mary out. I look forward to reading the next one.

These stories are so short, I feel like I just watched another episode of The Ghost Whisperer, but with a different spin. As with the last book, there are two different mysteries that need solving at the same time. Once again, the main characters are in mortal danger... how many times can the poor Chief end up near death? He must groan when another book starts because it's just a matter of time before he's shot, drowned or poisoned! The romance portion of the story takes a turn for the sappy in this installment. And yet,I already downloaded the next installment of mindless reading!

Another good one
There are only so many ways I can say I love this series. Since I had already read books 4 and 5 out of order this one filled in some of the gaps and questions I had. I must say, for a small town they sure do have a lot of crazy, evil people. Think I will read #4 again.

I LOVE this series. In all honesty, I have suffered for years from clinical depression, and was suffering from a very serious downturn. This series helped get me through. The friendship, the camaraderie, the family, the love and laughter, helped tremendously. It was extremely helpful in getting me to that turning point back to me.
I laughed till my belly hurt, then cried until I couldn't see the words. I felt anger and betrayal for those whose journey was suspended. I found redemption, grace, and, most of all, hope. I loved the ghosts/spirits (except for those malevolent ones), the mortals, the story lines and resolutions. I loved the lessons these stories conveyed, and the poignancy with which they were told.
I have several favorite characters, Mary and Bradley (and, by extension, Clarissa), being the foundation. Ian is someone I want to meet, and get to know, and just listen to him talk. Hopefully, he wears the black shirt (but don't tell Gillian I said that...it's strictly platonic, I swear). Mike. Dear Mike. I cried so hard for him for some reason, especially the role he was given. It was a sweetness that I didn't even know i was craving. I love Mike. I want Mike on my side. Always. Rosie & Stanley, such a opposites-attract couple, yet full of love. The O'Reilly clan. Can I move in with them?? Or maybe just visit Ireland with Sean??
I suspended all other reading until I got through the entire series, and feel as though these characters are my friends and family. Please, please, please, give me more!
Note: I would love to give this series 4 1/2 stars, or even 5, but the grammatical and punctuation errors just don't cut it for me. Miss Terri, your writing is superb. Let it be polished until it glows. Let me be your proofreader (beta reader?).

Another good story in the series but this one had the most mistakes peppered throughout so I've marked it down for those. I really hope things start to improve with her editing or proofreading people soon. I have book 4 downloaded already but if it's another full of errors I'll pack the whole series in, I think. They just end up distracting me from the proper job at hand !!
There were a lot of words missing in sentences like a/of/the, LOADS of missing speechmarks, misused apostrophes, then superflous speechmarks to add insult to injury.
Silly messups too like writing bottle when tumbler was meant and at instead of to, gale and not galeforce, dry and not dried, too and not to (a schoolboy error) as is you're and not your !! She also used shoot and not chute FOUR times !!! Ouch...
I liked meeting Mike from the firehouse and also seeing Rosie and Stanley getting along so well in this book and the relationship with Bradley progressing nicely. Long may it continue. Yes, I like the stories but I am getting fed up with the amount of silly errors.

You will find some critics who write that this book has too much religion in it. And, if this "religious nature" continues, they won't read this series any more. First, there is no pushing of religion in this book. There is near death experiences which is how Mary O'Reilly got her abilities. Duh....to me this is not pushing religion. Any Hoo, this is the third in the series and is excellent. I truly love how characters are developed and seem so realistic. I am in the fourth book now and loving it. Fireman Mike is an excellent addition with enough cockiness to make you see him as one with a nice 6 pack of abs posing in a calendar. Little rough waters coming Bradley's and Mary's way. As I continue this most excellent series, It is most important to read this series in order. Otherwise, it's a jumbled mess.

This story dealt well with the subject of domestic abuse, but I have to say I preferred the earlier books, especially in relation to the developing relationship between Mary and Bradley. Now that they are 'together', I find myself increasingly frustrated with the relationship, and just want them to do something apart from wishy washy 'I love you' blah blah nonsense. The other thing that I find totally unbelivable in this story (as far as belivable things go in a story about a PI that sees ghosts), is now that the missing wife has reappeared there is no mention of the missing daughter. Surely that would be one of the first questions asked, but it seems that everyone has just forgotten about that little detail......
April 11, 2016
Very disappointing. Like the first book, the editing on this one is not good. It's probably worse than the first book. And if you recall from my reviews, it had gotten better with book 2, so I can't figure out what happened. There was one entire chapter that was almost incomprehensible due to bad editing.
And sadly, the story wasn't much better. It was sort of all over the place, with all sorts of really bizarre characters that I think were just there to create drama. But all they really created was craziness. I think I'm done with this series after this one.

These books are my guilty pleasure. Mary, Bradley, Stanley and Rosie are great characters. A little mystery, a little comedy and just an all around good feeling read. This book touched on domestic violence and how it can play out through the years.

Love this series and really enjoyed this installment. Only complaint is the terrible formatting (kindle edition). It's another case of screwed up indentations and really gets distracting.

In this 3rd book of the series the characters are developing well and I'm enjoying the storylines. About to start book 4!

"Never Forgotten" sees Mary O'Reilly P.I. investigate the deaths of a dozen law enforcement officers over recently years in and around Freeport, Illinois. There is no reason to suspect that the deaths are linked but the reader knows that they are, and who is responsible, almost from the start.
A secondary plot concerns domestic abuse across the generations when Mary is visited by a female ghost who has just been beaten to death. Who is she? Her identity is quickly revealed but who killed her?
Both plotlines involve abuse, both physical and mental, but that's where the interlinking of the strands ends (except for a peculiar meeting towards the end).
We also learn that Bradley Allen's wife, Jeannine, missing for eight years, is most definitely dead, though the circumstances remain unclear. Jeannine makes Mary promise not to tell Bradley that she is hanging around - luckily, the fact that Bradley can see ghosts when he is touching Mary doesn't apply when Jeannine is present.
The somewhat lecherous ghost of Fireman Mike, still hanging around for no apparent reason, decides that it is time for him to become Mary's sidekick - he's good at bring some humour into the frame when things look bleak for Mary.
It's the growing relationship between Mary (no sex before marriage) and Bradley (I'm still married!) that has the most interest for me. The plotting is really secondary.

This books was just as enjoyable as the first two books in this series. Mary talks with the ghost of Jeannine Alden, who warns her that Bradley is in danger. Jeannine also says not to tell Bradley that she has talked to her. Not yet. Jeannine also helps Mary throughout the story, allowing Mary to find out the truth about a missing woman. Although Bradley is a man marked for death, and Mary is hot to find out what is going on with him physically, she also has to assist the other ghosts that have come to her for help. With ghostly and mortal help from friends, especially Mike the helpful ghost who likes being Mary's back-up, Mary solves what is wrong with Bradley and what had killed so many men in their town, rescues Bradley and the really weird killers are stopped. A very enjoyable mystery/fiction.

It's offical Bradley and Mary are together now. But Jeannie, Bradley's wife shows up but she is a ghost, she warns Mary someone is trying to harm Bradley. Turns out it is some girl who is in love with a man in uniform and Bradley is her next target. Now right away you can tell who the killer is and how they are killing. But their is a big Domestic Violence theme in this story. Not Only is Mary trying to save Bradley without letting him know about his wife as she can not due to confidientiality with the wife, but she made a promise. But another lady ghost shows up who is murdered I have to say once I started reading this story I stayed up to finish it.
February 19, 2024
This set of books keep me up at night reading. Mary is dedicated in helping people get to the other side and solving their murders so they can. The ghosts can only help so much and it us very interesting and dangerous how the stories come together. I love how her love interest, Police Chief Bradley can also see the ghosts as long as he is touching Mary. Mike is my favorite ghost. He's flirting with Mary and makes her laugh. I don't know why he hasn't moved on since his murder was solved along with others connected to his. Maybe he can stay and keep us laughing. I look forward to reading the rest of the books in this series.

Some questions answered
A so called curse is going on with police and firefighters dying with mysterious stomach cramps and liver damage. Mary finally meets Jannine.
A dead father controls his daughter and domestic violence with a ghost who wants to be found. Plenty of action and drama as Mary is thrown into danger and suspense. Loved this book and the series so far. Can't wait to dig into the next book.

Great Reads
Love this series of books. They are about an ex female police officer named Mary O`Reilly that died but came back to life with the ability to see and speak to ghosts. These ghosts have mostly been murder victims that can't move on until their murders are solved along with Mary's help. Each book is a story in itself but reading from the beginning of the series is suggested. I read books two and three in one day, easy reading and well worth the read.

Page turner
Loved it. The "big bad" in this book was a total crazy person but showed what an happen at the hands of an abuser. Loved Mary & Bradley in this. Love Rose & Stanley. I have a feeling about those two! I hope that Jeannine is less present going forward until it's about what happened because of really like their relationship to progress without his dead ex-wife hanging around.

I stayed up until 1 am to finish this book! I just couldn't put it down. I love how Reid fleshed a lot of these characters out and when I thought I knew what was gonna happen next she threw another curve ball at me. This book really kept me on my toes. I really appreciate the domestic abuse facts that she put at the end cause it's very important in this day and age because of young couples romanticizing toxic relationships on social media.

Very good continuation of series
Mary is just plan lucky sometimes because she gets out of really bad situations just in time. I worry about the secret she has to keep from Bradley. This book is about one very unstable person and the devastation they've caused to families for years. Great story once again.

Man O Man, you get to met a Lot of Ghosts in this book. This time Mary Mets Jeannine Bradley's wife, but told she can not tell Brad because he is not ready to know yet. Also she tells Mary Brad is in danger and she must help him. Narrator again does a Great job with the characters voices and the entire storyline.

This was crazy! I was thrown several times with this story. I am fairly good at figuring books out before the end, but not this time. I love seeing Stanley and Rosie, and Mary and Bradley, get closer in their relationships. Really enjoyed this book.

Another fantastic novel with a very important message on domestic violence. If you're being abused, don't take it. Get out and get help. There's a lot of help available to victims of domestic violence. You're not alone. There's help for you.
