Anna Dressed in Blood
Kendare
Blake
Publisher: Tor Teen
To be released: August 30,
2011
Summary (from Goodreads):
Cas
Lowood has inherited an unusual vocation: He kills the dead.
So
did his father before him, until he was gruesomely murdered by a ghost he
sought to kill. Now, armed with his father's mysterious and deadly athame, Cas
travels the country with his kitchen-witch mother and their spirit-sniffing
cat. Together they follow legends and local lore, trying to keep up with the
murderous dead—keeping pesky things like the future and friends at bay.
When
they arrive in a new town in search of a ghost the locals call Anna
Dressed in Blood, Cas doesn't expect anything outside of the ordinary: track,
hunt, kill. What he finds instead is a girl entangled in curses and rage, a
ghost like he's never faced before. She still wears the dress she wore on the
day of her brutal murder in 1958: once white, now stained red and dripping with blood.
Since her death, Anna has killed any and every person who has dared to step
into the deserted Victorian she used to call home.
But
she, for whatever reason, spares Cas's life.
