Tittle : Anna Dressed in Blood (Anna #1)Author : Kendare Blake
Publication date : August 30, 2011 by Tor Teen
I have been wanting to read this novel for months, but I don't know what kept me from picking it up. I am not really into a horror story, actually. However, I told myself to stop being such a coward because hey, it's just a book. A fictional book, for God's sake, read it already! *blushes*. I enjoyed the the TV show called Supernatural and yes, it's a horror show, so, yes, I finally convinced myself.
Alright, enough for the nonsense. I won't be bothering you with boring details anymore *winks*. Anna Dressed in Blood
is a story of a ghost hunter named Cas Lowood. His job pretty much summarizes what he does. He kills ghost in his daily life. Cas with this inherited-by-his-dad enchanted knife slay the dead in heroic way, at least until he met Anna.

Anna was totally different. She was a very angry ghost who rip people apart for fun. There was no way for Cas to be near her (let alone slaying her), she was way too strong and Cas had to figure out another plan to kill her whether he liked it or not.
My first impression when reading Anna Dressed in Blood is the book's characteristic. If you are familiar with the TV show Supernatural, this novel is pretty much the lookalike. Sam and Dean slay ghost, they also do not stay in one place for too long. So does Cas, being a nomad, he travels a lot with his mother. However this doesn't bother me as much because frankly, I cannot put this book down.

Yes, Anna Dressed in Blood is amazing and it sure be one of my favorite books for this year. I love how the story goes, the world building and everything. It is not scary, I repeat, not scary but still I think those of you who love horror would still find this book to be exciting.
Many people categorize this novel as young adult literature, however since there are some profanity (the f word is included) and gore bloody scene in it, I personally think that this book is more suitable for adult readers. The ripped bodies and blood can give younger audience nightmares, I reckon, as for the f word, well, there's no need for further explanation.
This book gets 5 rating from me and I cannot wait to read the next book. It's definitely on my to-read list and I will review it soon enough. Now, your turn, did you find the novel to be scary?
