Cas is all about killing ghosts, making it through high school and falling in love with dead girls...? Anna Dressed in Blood is a compelling story that tells about the intensity of trying to kill a murderous ghost who has been dead for more than 50 years. Cas needs to keep up with douchy jocks, preppy girls who seem to have all there attention on him, and a nerdy, mind reading friend, Thomas. But in reality, Cas cannot keep his mind off of the young 16 year old girl with a white dress who has a strong power that could rip someones head off in less than 5 seconds. This is "Anna Dressed in Blood".

The world we live in will never accept the things that are beyond life. In Anna Dressed in Blood, we discover the evil in people, ghosts, and love itself. Anna never wanted to be a ghost, but somehow she is the most powerful one that Cas has ever seen. It’s his job to end her. Anna may be strong, but Cas has to kill the best to know he’s ready to avenge his father. Cas never expected things to change so much when he entered Thunder Bay. He never anticipated making friends that he didn't want to just use and throw away, and he never expected to find love. Anna Dressed in Blood is a romantic, a thriller, and an absolute must read.
