*sequel to Anna Dressed in Blood*
Summary:
It's been months since the ghost of Anna Korlov opened a door to Hell in her basement and disappeared into it, but ghost hunter Cas Lowood can't move on.
His friends remind him that Anna sacrificed herself so that Cas could live--not walk around half dead, pining for her. He knows they're right, but in Cas's eyes, no living girl he meets can compare to the dead girl he fell in love with.
Now he's seeing Anna everywhere: sometimes when he's asleep, and sometimes in waking nightmares. But something is very wrong...These aren't just daydreams. Anna seems tortured, torn apart in new and ever more gruesome ways every time she appears. Cas doesn't know what happened to Anna when she disappeared into Hell, but he knows she doesn't deserve whatever is happening to her now. Anna saved Cas more than once, and it's time for him to return the favor.
My Thoughts:
While this book is just as well written as the first and I got through it just as quick, it pales in comparison. The introduction of a secret order that Cas is descended from seemed rushed. While it was interesting, the idea just wasn't well developed.
I did really like how realistic Cas seemed throughout the book. Losing someone you love is really hard and you do really see them everywhere--just not in the same way that Cas does. I did really like Jestine (I wish we knew more about her) and I think it would be pretty cool to have a book with her as the narrator/main character someday, considering how the book ended.
In this book, Gideon was really different and it didn't feel right. In the first book, he was not just a mentor, he was also a friend to Cas, but this book just threw that out the window.
I would LOVE to have more books set in this world.
My Rating: 3 stars
