Anna Dressed in Blood
Kendare Blake
Tor Teen: 2011, 320 pages
Reviewed by Jessie Park
Cas Lowood is not your average teenager: he's a ghost hunter. He is constantly traveling with his mother and his ghost-sniffing cat, putting to rest dangerous ghosts who like to kill. Following a tip, Cas and his troupe head to Canada to find a ghost called Anna Dressed in Blood. Anna was murdered in 1958 and still wears the dress she was killed in, except that instead of the color white, the dress drips blood red. While Cas is efficient and has yet to meet a ghost he can't defeat, Anna is different. She's not known to spare the life of anyone who dares to enter her house but for some reason, she spares Cas's life. Readers should be aware that there is a hint of explicit language. There is violence throughout the book. It is not extremely graphic but enough to make the more squeamish uncomfortable. There is a sequel titled Girl of Nightmares.
