it was a good short little ghost story. i liked it, but didn't love it. the story dragged a bit in some parts though it managed to redeem itself towards the end.

Loved Cas! Just the right amount of angst to be understandable without being annoying. His story is original and of course, horrifying. This is a story with a perfect balance of horror, adventure, and humor. Cas and his new found crew are…

This book, was pretty good. I liked it for a few reasons. For one, it had a very original story. I’ve never read a book like this one. Also, the ending was very good. It concluded, but on a bit of a sad note. I won’t give any spoilers, but…

I really liked this book. The characters were fleshed out and it felt like I really knew them. The story holds magic, adventure, more magic, and an unexpected romance. I've never read a novel like this before and it was super fun and very…

Can Cas, a young man, fall in love with Anna, a female ghost? Interesting story about the evolution of a strange relationship. In this story ghosts have a certain corporality (is that a word?): they can touch and be touched (and physically…

Cas is a ghost hunter, just like his dad before him, tracking down local legends across the country and putting the dead to rest. No ghost has gotten the better of him - until he meets Anna. Quippy and spooky, this book is perfect for fans…

This is *mostly* good. I liked that there was a twist on the typical horror trope. However, I was rather disappointed that Anna and Cas's relationship devolved so quickly and things just started happening just cause. The majority of the…

Very well written book and a good story to boot. I am always in awe of authors who can make the unbelievable, believable and amusing and spellbinding, all at the same time.

Anna dressed in blood was my first horror novel. I wanted to read a YA because I thought the creepiness factor would be more manageable - but when you are someone who typically does not read horror and hates the dark, EVERYTHING is creepy.…

From start to finish I loved this book.

I really enjoyed this book! Cass is a ghost hunter/killer and saves people from the supernatural. If you like "Supernatural" the TV series, sarcastic ghosts, or just a good scare, you might like this book.

Anna Dressed in Blood was pretty much what I’m coming to expect from YA Horror. It touches occasionally on the edges of disturbing, it has an unnecessary (and in this case more than slightly creepy) dose of romance, and there’s the…

EXCELLENT book for adults too! We read it and were totally engrossed by all plots, subplots, etc. Great characterizations. Can't wait for sequel or sequels - very creepy but could do without ALL of the gore.

A brilliant book! Everything about this book was really well done. It was one of those books that kept my nerves jiggling around and actually had me nervous as to what would happen. Well written characters as well. Absolutely perfect!

It was great!, I had nightmares after, But It said I would so I'm happy it didn't lie!

This basically read like an episode of early Supernatural. The fact that our main character's name is Cass made that even ore of a description that stuck with me. The book does not mess around when it comes to the 'dressed in blood' part…

You would think that the dead would just stay dead. Unfortunately for Cas Lowood, this isn’t the case. As a professional ghost hunter he may think he’s seen it all; that is, until a new ghost catches his eye. Her name? Anna dressed in…

Gripping, mysterious, suspenseful and brilliant. A little meh towards the end but it's definitely 4 stars worth. Cas is a very cool character, not just amazing, but cool. He is the perfect narrator for the series of unfortunate events that…

I admit I originally picked this book up because of the cover, but the story was extremely intriguing and creepy in parts. Loved the idea of Cas, who hunts ghosts, falling in love with the ghost he's supposed to be helping cross over. I…

The book started off pretty creepy and I agree with everyone that it's nice to have a great YA horror story. The murderous Anna was a frightening sight. Wasn't so scary anymore half way through when they started giving Anna a back story,…
