Girl of Nightmares (Anna Dressed in Blood)
Avenging ghost girlfriend Anna sacrificed herself to save Cas and his friends, but now she’s stuck in hell, tormented by the Obeahman. With visions of Anna haunting him, Cas decides he’ll do whatever it takes to bring her back. So begins a trip to England, where he meets attractive Jestine, a ghost killer trained to take Cas’ place. This satisfying sequel to Anna Dressed in Blood (2011) believably advances the story while introducing a new clan of ghost killers with decidedly different philosophies on how to lay the dead to rest. Blake excels in creepy, atmospheric landscapes, and her description of the Suicide Forest will make neck hairs rise. Grades 8-12. --Debbie Carton
