Anna Dressed in Blood, by Kendare Blake.
This book is a ghost story. Cas Lowood kills the dead, sends them to the afterlife. When he is sent to kill Anna Dressed in Blood, (another ghost) he has one thing on his mind: track her down, and kill her.
But Anna (by the way, it's pronounced Aw-na. Like the Frozen character.) is different from any other ghost he's had to face. She's entangled in curses and more than capable of ripping Cas apart. She's stronger than every other ghost, and fiercer. Anyone who enters her house dies.
But she, for whatever reason, spares Cas.
Okay, this book was really nice. It was gross/gruesome, a different, new plot line, and a story that revolves around the plot, not the romance. In fact, the title appears on the back of the book. I personally thought that the statement was kinda funny.
And the cover. It is perfect. Spooky, mysterious, and a touch of blood.
Honestly, it wasn't the best book I've ever read. And the sequel, Girl of Nighmares, isn't as good as the first, but it was more informative. Kinda like prequel information in the sequel.

P.S. Doesn't the cover fit in perfectly with my color scheme? The treys on the pale purple looks so nice!
