Goodreads Monday:Anna Dressed in Blood

If you have been following my blog, you’d have noticed that my recent posts have been really messy and not very well done. That was because my laptop was not working, and so I had to use my phone to make the posts. I finally got my laptop fixed, so I can blog properly now.

So, today is Monday, which means Goodreads Monday. Goodreads Monday is a weekly meme hosted at Lauren’s page turners, where every week, we show off a book from out TBR. My pick of the week is Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake.

Cas Lowood has inherited an unusual vocation: He kills the dead.

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 athame, Cas travels the country with his kitchen-witch mother and their spirit-sniffing cat. They follow legends and local lore, destroy the murderous dead, and keep pesky things like the future and friends at bay.

Searching for a ghost the locals call Anna Dressed in Blood, Cas expects the usual: track, hunt, 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.

Yet she spares Cas’s life.

So, have you read the book? What are your thoughts on it?
