Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake
4.0

4 Stars - I recommend if you like horror, or YA Fantasy novels. This book wasn't too scary, but is a bit spooky. I also recommend if you like Supernatural.

This book follows 17 year old Cas, who moves around the country with his mom hunting and killing ghosts. When they move to a town in Ontario, and Cas seeks out the local legend "Anna Dressed in Blood" he immediately realizes that Anna is not like other ghosts he's hunted. As he finds out more about Anna's past and curse, he realizes that Anna's situation may not be something he can handle on his own.

This book was a lot of fun. Cas is pretty sarcastic, which I think is fun to read. I enjoyed the concept of the ghost hunting, I enjoyed a lot of the characters. I don't read a lot of horror, so I can't say how "original" the themes and plots are, but I found it a nice change of pace. It wasn't quite as romantic as I would have liked... but that's just me! haha I might read the second book, but I am not in a hurry. Excited to read more of Blake's work in general though!
