Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendre Blake

Anna Dressed in Blood

by Kendre Blake

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 dagger, Cas travels the country with his kitchen-witch mother and their spirit-sniffing cat. Together they follow legends and local folklore, trying to keep up with the murderous dead - keeping annoying 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, and 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 dripping with blood. Since her death, Anna has killed any and every person who has dared to step into the deserted Victorian she used to call home. But she, for whatever reason, spares Cas' life.

(Just saying... the Supernatural vibes are strong with this one ! I couldn’t help but think of both that, and Buffy! Cas & the group he begrudgingly, and kind of accidentally, brings together are their own sort of tour de force, though 💙)

This is just really fun and playful and I enjoyed it a lot. What you see is what you get. Sometimes you just need a super simple, but still addictive and enjoyable read. That’s what this delivers, folks!

Solid, sometimes gory, sometimes scary, always entertaining and enjoyable, surprisingly lovely, & very lovable, F U N.

I just really love Kendare Blake’s writing; it always delivers just what you ordered, JUST how it appears on the menu when you chose it (or better 😊).

I really think this was great. A really fun & spooky read ! I enjoyed it quite a bit.

Definitely recommend!

[Readers sensitive to a bit of gore, violence, etc... this may be a little too much. Just saying. I’ve been reading scary stories since I could freakin read (scary stories to tell in the dark, anyone? & goosebumps! Sometimes even Fear Street as a super young kid & i’d tell my mom it was just Goosebumps lol)... so no big, but I realize I may have made light of some of the scares & how in depth they are described here, when they could be too much for someone else.
Again, just a little warning!]
