Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake (Anna #1) Review

Cas has a job, killing ghosts. He already at it since his father was murdered by another ghost ten years ago. He and his mother traveled from one city to another barely stay in for a while. Always move to seek another ghost to be killed.
In the beginning, I think Cas was a jerk. He refused Thomas's help who was willing to provide him a bunch of useful information about Anna, the current Cas's target. Instead, he went to Carmel, a popular girl in the school. He using Carmel to dig some information about Anna Dressed in Blood. The result is he got into some issue with Mike, Carmel's ex-boyfriend. Mike was willing to take him to Anna's house only to whack Cas head into a jelly bean. 
And Anna? That angry ghost showed up, killed Mike and left Cas alive.
See, this mess would not have happened if Cas agreed to Thomas earlier.
And the story begins. Cas started to wonder about Anna, get some long chit-chat with her but he also needs to figure out a solution how to kill her. 

So I went for this book hoping that I will meet an enchanting horror story that will keep me on the edge. Well, it didn't really happen. 
While Anna Dressed in Blood did keep me entertained, it didn't really grip my heart and freaked me out just like what I wish from this book. At least it enough to have me wonder about the sequel. 

Cas," she moans back. "Superheroes go to college too.

Rating 3.5/5 bloody stars
