 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.

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.
