In the series finale, our protagonist, ghost hunter Cas Lowood, is trying to move on after Anna Dressed in Blood sacrificed herself for him. After Anna begins to show up in his nightmares and haunting him by day, he realizes something is very wrong with Anna’s disappearance into hell. He will stop at nothing to find a way to save her. Cas continued to be an enigmatic character and quickly became one of my favorite characters. I was grateful Anna got some semblance of a happy ending. The atmosphere continued to be suspenseful and f I felt like the pace was quicker this time. I really loved the different types of witch magic and how the voodoo was portrayed. The ending was chaos but it’s fitting for this Halloween read of mine for them to have to go to hell. (4/5 rating)

Book Review – Anna Dressed in Blood (Anna 1) by Kendare Blake
This was my first story by Kendare Blake. Cas Lowood is our right enchanting male MC. The blood in his veins allows him to hunt and kill ghosts that learn a penchant for killing. He has considered himself in training since his father passed away on his last ghost hunt. He travels with his witch mother and irreplaceable Siamese cat. When his path converges into a ghost called Anna Dressed in Blood, he meets more than his match for a typical ghost hunt. This has been on my TBR for a few years, so I am grateful, that I finally got to reading it. I felt for Cas and his mother on their attempt to find a new normal after such loss. Anna was a clever hook that quickly enveloped me. The pacing was slightly slow to set the second half of the book, but this was still a strong story. Blake created a host of in-depth characters within this Canadian high school and the ending was perfection. On to book 2. (4/5 rating)
