Review : Girl of Nightmares by Kendare Blake

Tittle : Girl of Nightmares (Anna #2)
Author : Kendare Blake
Publication date : August 7, 2012 by Tor Teen

Girl of Nightmares is the second installment of Anna series. I love the first book and I couldn't wait to read the sequel and I am glad that I finally finish it. Cas Lowood had a creepily great adventure and I have to find out what happens next.

Cas Lowood kept on thinking about Anna. He saw her everywhere and it drove him nuts. Cas, along with his bestfriends Thomas and Carmel headed to London and Scotland to solve the problem. There they revealed the greatest mystery of the athame and met a secluded ancient group called The Order of Biodag Dubh.


Girl of Nightmares has the same amount excitement as the prequel does. This book, however is not really about ghost hunting. Don't worry though, if you expect Cas versus paranormal monsters battle, you'd be happy because there are some scenes that will entertain you. I don't know if it's just me but there was this discomfort because I thought the main point of the story is about Cas being a necrophilia. However, as I reached the ending ( I love the ending by the way), I was so glad to be wrong.

Blake still used her charm in Girl of Nightmares. She did a great job writing the ending that way because she doesn't leave her readers with questions. Every problem is solved very well, no unfinished business left. Having said that, I can say that this might be the last installment of Anna series. I still categorize the novel for adult readers. There are swear words and gore scenes that might not be suitable for younger readers. I know the main characters of the book are teens, but I personally judge it by the content.

I recommend this book for horror lovers, alright, I recommend this for everyone as long as you don't mind a bit of profanity here and there. 5 rating both for this novel and the whole series. 

Now, how about you? Have you finished reading this series?
