Anna Dressed in Blood - Kendare Blake 
Anna dressed in blood, was truly original and delivers a power punch to your stomache. Kendare 
Blake really stepped out of the paranormal comfort zone with this one! I
 not only liked the concept of this book, but when an author tells it 
how it is, curse words and all... It just makes me respect the book that
 much more. Lets face it, in this day and age the word "Fuck" isn't such
 a horrible word. It's just another common word in the English language,
 used in every day normal life. Not being afraid of putting swears in a 
YA book is seriously awesome. The things these kids do now-a-days.. 
PSSH! The F-bomb is the least of our worries. (I know, I sound like an 
80 yo woman! TOO BAD, It's how I was raised) Anyways, Kendare Blake 
wrote an amazing novel, and I've already started Girl of Nightmares.
       In
 Thunder Bay, Canada... a story of horrific magic occurs. Anna, at the 
age of 16, was brutally murdered. Ever since her death... She has lived 
in the same house, stuck there. She has haunted the town for decades, 
Killing any person that set foot in her house.
       Cas has a pretty 
abnormal job for a boy his age, he also has an unnatural daily life. 
Research Ghost, Kill ghost, Move. Ever since his father was murdered by 
the ghost he was supposed to kill, Cas knew he would never have a 
"normal" life. Cas inherits his fathers Athame, (a dagger of sorts) upon
 his death. This athame brings great power to those who wield it.
       Cas
 Travels throughout the country with his mother, who just happens to be a
 superstitious witch and their cat Tybalt. On a tip from one of his 
ghost informants, he ends up in Thunder Bay to kill Anna. However, Anna 
is a force that is not to be reckoned with. Cas quickly learns he 
underestimated her. He thought he was going to come in, quick kill, and 
get out. Haha. Wrong. The second he lays eyes on her, everything 
changes. All the rules he ever knew... don't exist anymore.Now there is 
Friends, Ghosts, and of course Witches.
