Initial reaction: "Anna Dressed in Blood" had everything I was looking for in a good YA horror story - it features one of my favorite paranormal beings (ghosts), has an awesome protagonist (Cas), great humor, shocking moments and an intriguing enough story/mystery that kept me reading eagerly through until the end. I loved every moment of it. Full review: I'll start my review by saying that I love a good ghost story. Not so much a ghost "love" story per se, but usually those that have an intriguing amount of mystery, suspense and horror, sometimes humor if the cards are right. So when my friends were chirping their excitement over Kendare Blake's "Anna Dressed in Blood", a YA horror title that featured all of the above and then some, I knew I had to read it. It's been a book I've looked forward to for a long time. YA Sync had this as a free audiobook download in July, so it was as good a time as any for me to listen to it. August Ross does a fine job narrating the work, and I felt he captured Cas's voice very well. To expound a little on the story, Cas is a ghost hunter - if you call him a "Ghostbuster", he's not likely to take that well. :P He's moved many times with his mother, and pursues his work where his father left off. His father was killed by a ghost in a grisly way. Cas pursues his work as "business as usual" - at least when he comes across the strange case of the ghost "Anna, Dressed in Blood", as discussed in eerie ways around town. He decides to take on the task of killing Anna, but his first encounter with Anna doesn't go as expected. The story unfolds as to how Cas discovers more about Anna's past and grapple with his own motivations and events surrounding his father's death. In the mix of things, he befriends an unlikely group who helps him in the process, though it doesn't come without some hard hits and scary/grisly/eerie situations. I loved Blake's descriptions and balance of elements throughout the work. She crafts an intriguing story that pulls you through Cas's experiences, while at the same time providing its share of thrills and surprising revelations. Great characterizations, and Cas has a strong voice that gives strength to the narrative throughout. He's quite intelligent, and there's a fair balance of bravery and self-awareness in his actions/reactions. Anna is intriguing to follow, starting off eerie, but becoming one that the reader can sympathize with as her story unfolds. I did not want to put this work down, and as it ended, I'll admit I still wanted more. I liked the ending and think it provides a good jumping point for the sequel. Overall, this is definitely a title I would recommend for YA audiences who like a blend of horror, humor, mystery, and/or just a great ghost story that's unlike many YA titles to date. Overall score: 4.5/5

at parts the shakespearian (is that a word?) dialect is a little hard to understand, but it's a fantastic play.
Annoying...just another girl in love with someone she can't and then needs to save the world. I won't be continuing the series.
I know this book is a love-it-or-hate-it type. I know lots of people who said that, after Everything is Illuminated, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close is just a knock-off of the same thing. I disagree. EiI Has a very interesting story to it. Several of them, it seems. But it just doesn't feel as true, as sincere, as EL&IC. I really felt more like Foer was trying to manipulate me through this book, like he was trying to evoke certain reactions--by turns joy, sadness, horror--through his characters. He's obviously a talented man and he wrote a very good book; I enjoyed EiI a lot. But it feels like the first book by a talented man, and I'm very glad I started with Extremely Loud.

I loved this book. Ending was kind of less satisfactory than I wished but book #2 should solve that problem.
What a fun lighthearted read. The main character has such an entertaining and interesting take on the world--I loved her! I will be reading the next 3 books in this series. I have to find out who she ends up with--the gorgeous powerful wizard or the tall hunky lawyer :)
