Goodreads Synopsis:
A blood-pounding tale of an unorthodox alliance between a vampire and an exorcist!
"Bloody" Mary, a vampire with a death wish, has spent the past 400 years chasing down a modern-day exorcist named Maria who is thought to have inherited "The Blood of Maria" and is the only one who can kill Mary. To Mary's dismay, Maria doesn't know how to kill vampires. Desperate to die, Mary agrees to become Maria's bodyguard until Maria can find a way to kill him.
Unable to bear the shocking truth that Maria reveals to him, Mary loses consciousness and locks himself inside while "Mary" comes to the surface to take his place. "Mary" heads out alone while Maria, along with Shinobu and Hydra, confront a trio of vampires. Bathed in blood, "Mary" gradually succumbs to madness...

Review:
We're slowly getting clues as to who exactly “Mary” is. We know
that they were twins, but I still feel like there's something more
here. I feel like there's some twist as to which one is the real
Mary, and I'm wondering where that's going.
Of course, once Maria tries to shake some truth into Mary, he
releases “Mary” for real.
During the Mary reveals, we also get to learn what happened with
Hydra. And by this, I mean what happened with Hydra and Bloody Eye,
the chick we haven't officially met in real time yet. It's an
interesting revelation, and I'm intrigued by where that is going, by
what happened after that flashback.
I'm also surprised by the new mix of yuri undertones with these yaoi
ones. Though I'm seriously feeling the MariaxMary relationship.
Especially in the extras after the story. They're so mean sometimes
with how cute they are.
This series is messy and complicated and dark, and I rather love it.
I can't wait for the next one.
