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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSearching 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYet she spares Cas's life. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eKendare Blake's \u003ci\u003eAnna Dressed in Blood\u003c\/i\u003e is a 2011 \u003ci\u003eKirkus\u003c\/i\u003e Best Teen Books of the Year title. \u003cbr\u003eOne of NPR's Top 5 Young Adult Novels of 2011.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Abundantly original, marvelously inventive and enormous fun, this can stand alongside the best horror fiction out there.
