I grabbed this book off the shelf at the library because I had seen some good reviews and I thought it sounded like an interesting premise. I am so glad I did. It's a little fun, a touch creepy, slightly gross and really lovely. Cas is a ghost hunter. But don't call him a ghost buster! His father was killed when Cas was 7 years old. Cas has spent the last 10 years training and studying so he can kill the ghost that killed his father. In his quest to be better at hunting ghosts, he decides to go to Canada to hunt Anna Korlov. Anna was murdered in 1950's but her murderer was never caught. She is known at Anna Dressed In Blood because people who have seen her say her dress drips with blood. Cas quickly realizes that all is not as it seems and maybe hunting Anna isn't going to be easy or straight forward. I really liked that Cas had to stop being a loner and develop friendships in order to solve the problems that develop in the story. I thought it was very good that Cas's friends were more than just 2 dimensional characters. And the author went to places that many authors would have avoided by killing characters. What I didn't like was that Cas's mom was a bit too simple. She is described as a kitchen witch. She moves where Cas tells he needs to go to kill a ghost. I really wanted more from her. I also didn't like how the police were depicted as being simple minded and a little bit lazy. And finally, Anna is almost too much, too strong, too interesting. I can't imagine where Anna will go from here because she is too big. I would recommend this book to everyone! Ok, seriously, this is a YA book. If you like paranormal, ghosts, mystery, you will probably like this. I am looking forward to the next book in the series. Quotes: I always hate the sunlit towns, full of newly built developments with double-car garages in shades of pale eggshell surrounded by green lawns and dotted with laughing children. page 25 "Yes. Smashing. You'll be just like those four chaps in the movie. You know the one, with the oversized marshmallow." You've got to be kidding me. page 166 book borrowed from the library
