Title: Three Dark Crowns Author: Kendare Blake Pages: 416 Publisher: HarperTeen Release Date: September 30, 2016 Summary (Goodreads) Fans of acclaimed author Kendare Blake’s  Anna Dressed in Blood will devour her latest novel, a dark and inventive fantasy about three sisters who must fight to the death to become queen.  In every generation on the island of Fennbirn, a set of triplets is born: three queens, all equal heirs to the crown and each possessor of a coveted magic. Mirabella is a fierce elemental, able to spark hungry flames or vicious storms at the snap of her fingers.

Each sister has to fight for it. And it’s not just a game of win or lose...it’s life or death. The nigh...

The signing was so much fun and I am looking forward to seeing them again. Well I have an extra copy of Antigoddess by Kendare Blake!! It is signed :) Also I am letting everyone know that there has been a change on my URL (there is no "s" in reviews on the website)  About Antigoddess (Goddess War #1)  The Goddess War begins in  Antigoddess , the first installment of the new series by acclaimed author of  Anna Dressed in Blood , Kendare Blake.

So much for living a quiet eternity in perpetual health. Desperately seeking the cause of their slow, miserable deaths, Athena and Hermes travel the world, gat...

 Anna Dressed In Blood (Anna #1) Author: Kendare Blake Publisher: Tor Publish Date: August 30, 2011 Genre: YA, Paranormal Pages: 316 Cas Lowood has inherited an unusual vocation: He kills the dead. So did his father before him, until he was gruesomely murdered by a ghost he sought to kill. Now, armed with his father's mysterious and deadly athame, Cas travels the country with his kitchen-witch mother and their spirit-sniffing cat. Together they follow legends and local lore, trying to keep up with the murderous dead—keeping pesky things like the future and friends at bay. When they arrive in a new town in search of a ghost the locals call Anna Dressed in Blood, Cas doesn't expect anything outside of the ordinary: track, hunt, kill. What he finds instead is a girl entangled in curses and rage, a ghost like he's never faced before. She still wears the dress she wore on the day of her brutal murder in 1958: once white, now stained red and drippin...

Here's my teaser of Anna Dressed in Blood! "I need help. I've run into a completely sticky mess." "What sort of sticky mess?" "The dead sort." "Of course." He listens while I tell him about Anna. Then I hear a familiar sound of the ladder rolling and his soft huffs as he climbs it to reach for a book. "She's no ordinary ghost, that seems certain." he says "I know. Something's made her stronger." "The way she died?" he asks. So far this book is really awesome! I am liking Cass and Anna:) Check this book out!!

Anna Dressed In Blood Please enjoy this excerpt from Anna Dressed in Blood , out on August 30th Chapter One The grease-slicked hair is a dead giveaway—no pun intended. So is the loose and faded leather coat, though not as much that as the sideburns. And the way he keeps nodding and flicking his Zippo open and closed in rhythm with his head. He belongs in a chorus line of dancing Jets and Sharks. Then again, I have an eye for these things. I know what to look for, because I’ve seen just about every variety of spook and spectre you can imagine. The hitchhiker haunts a stretch of winding North Carolina road, bordered by unpainted split-rail fences and a whole lot of nothing. Unsuspecting drivers probably pick him up out of boredom, thinking he’s just some college kid who reads too much Kerouac. “My gal, she’s waiting for me,” he says now in an excited voice, like he’s going to see her the minute we crest the next hill. He taps the lighter hard on the dash, twice, and I ...
