I love, love, loved Anna Dressed In Blood! It was creepy and gruesome in parts, but being a young adult release, you should be able to sleep at night... Perhaps with the light left on. The book is told from Cas's point of view, and he doesn't hold back. He swears, he tells is straight and doesn't sugar coat his words. He also has never had any friends or connected with anyone, having chased ghosts all over the country. For the first time, he finds himself longing to stay in Thunder Bay, with new friends Carmel, Thomas and 'his Anna'.

It's a romanticised ghost story, despite the blood and gore. It does venture into creepiness, when Cas not only shares a kiss with Anna, but confesses his love for her. It's beautifully written and I can't wait to read the next in the Anna series.
