Inor Fuad inor — Finally. A book that I liked! I think this is the first time since I signed up for Goodreads that I've given four stars to a book. That's not to say it was perfect, though. Far from it; but Kendare Blake certainly knows how to capture her audience and write a decent novel. Even better, I truly think she has the potential to grow as a writer. Cas hunts and kills ghosts. It's his occupation, as it was his father's before him. It's in his blood; if he doesn't do it, no one else can. On a tip, off he goes to Thunder Bay, Ontario, to kill the murderous spirit of Anna Korlov. What he doesn't know is that she's not like the other things he's hunted before. She's powerful, sentient, and for some reason, she lets him live. What I liked most about Anna Dressed in Blood is its chilling narration. I read this all through the night in one sitting, making sure I kept my bedroom door open and the lights on. The scenes were detailed enough to give you a queasy feeling, but not overly exploited to make you want to shut the book and gag. Cas also made the book enjoyable. He's a charming, witty young lad, and I kept thinking of a younger version of this handsome stud: [image error] and whether or not Blake intended to make the book some sort of homage to Supernatural, I will never know. But there were a few similarities that sometimes bugged me ... the dead-father-who-was-killed-by-a-mysterious-monster, the vengeance-driven subplot, the main protagonist's charm and self-confidence was also reminiscent of Dean's. Heck even the name "Cas" reminded me too much of Castiel. Maybe it's a long stretch, and since I'm a fan of Supernatural perhaps I'm trying to find connections in every little detail, but there you have it. Despite those trivial annoyances, I still liked Cas. I also liked his relationship with his mother; instead of making her a surplus as most YA tends to, Blake gave Cas's mother a more significant role. It's a pity we didn't get to see much of her, though. Now, although this was not a romance-driven book (thank holy Lord!), romance did play a big part in it. And this brings me to my second (not so trivial) beef. The romance seemed a little forced and just for the sake of pairing. Carmel falling for Thomas was a litte too sudden and strange for me, and the whole Anna and Cas thing? I loved Anna (although she did creep me out!) and I loved Cas, but I just didn't feel it between them ... he's trying to kill her and the next thing you know, he's in love with her?? It wasn't as instalove as that sentence made it seem like, but the end result is just the same. One last thing that bothered me is why Anna did not kill him. I was expecting some other explanation other than the one that was given us; (view spoiler) I mean, if she could exert that much control to not kill him, why couldn't she do the same for the others? Meh. But anyway. Regardless of my whinging, I still overall enjoyed this book and look forward to some big improvements in the next one in the series. Fingers crossed some answers will be given, and the characters more fleshed out. It may seem a little stereotyped at first - Queen Bee, Jocks, Goth Guy - they're all in it. I did appreciate that at least Carmel didn't turn out your typical mean-girl, though. There was the balance of blood and death to keep readers hooked (if that's your thing), and the dry sort of humour that made me chuckle even in the most inappropriate moments. So all in all, a balanced read, and I'm definitely interested to see where this series leads off to.
