Anna Dressed in Blood

I’m a sucker for heroic boys! Cas Lowood, a teenaged ghost hunter, hits that mark.

Cas and his hedge witch mom worked alone until they landed in Thunder Bay, Ontario. Determined to banish the murderous spirit of Anna—the girl dressed in blood, Cas reluctantly collects a team of sidekicks.

I loved watching their friendships deepen as they unravel the legend of the girl’s gruesome death. Excellent fight scenes, just the right dose of horror for me, a touch of humor, and an unlikely romance put hot fudge and a cherry on top of this awesome read. I ate it up!

Ghosts and gore! I love creepy ghosts but not so much gore, but this has purposeful gore, understandable gore, if that makes any sense! Cas is a ghost hunter and he must break into a very scary house to kill the very scary Anna before she kills again. Very creepy story, with moments of humor and sweetness! In movie comparison, to me it’s like The Conjuring meets Ghostbusters! Kendare Blake has 2 or 3 in this series.

Cas Lowood kills the dead. It’s a family business. With his father’s athame, a chip on his shoulder large enough to rival Everest, and a ghost-sniffing cat, Cas thinks he’s an old pro. But when he goes searching for the local ghost named Anna Dressed in Blood, named for the bloody dress she was murdered in and still wears, he gets more than he bargained for. Anna has killed every person who dared step foot inside the Victorian house she haunts—everyone except Cas. This novel has some stunning imagery and is compulsively readable.
