Girl of Nightmares
Release date: 2012
Anna Dressed in Blood synopsis. (Girl of Nightmares synopsis not yet available.)
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.
How incredibly fantastic is this cover? Anna Dressed in Blood’s cover was great, but this one is just amazing! When I saw the cover reveal I couldn’t resist using it for one of my Halloween WoWs. There is no release date for this puppy yet but I think we’re all hoping it will be out very soon! I can’t wait to read more about Cas and Anna. If you haven’t read Anna yet, the first in the series, I really recommend it!

No, I haven’t read that yet and I want to. I might just have to order it or get it for my kindle. Might make a great Halloween night read while I eat pizza and hand out candy to little kids. 🙂

I have yet to read Anna. It’s one of those books I have on my shelf that I have yet to get to. This cover is gorgeous though!
Giselle
Thanks for all the comments. It’s a perfect Halloween read if you haven’t read Anna yet!
And iLuvReadingTooMuch: What do you mean recent reviews? I have an archive which is all my reviews, I don’t have anything showing my recent ones. I think blogger has a widget that shows your recent posts, though.

I have heard amazing things about Anna Dressed in Blood. I’m extremely curious. I had no idea it was even a part of a series. I must check it out asap. Knowing me though, it’ll probably be a while because I’m so crazy when it comes to series. I feel like I have to wait till all of the books are out before I begin.

I haven’t read the first book, but this sure makes me want to.. This is the first time I really paid attention to what the book is about. Super choice!

Reply to Giselle: I mean the slideshow thing at the top of your homepage displaying some reviews. That’s very cool 🙂 Just wondering where you got it…

I loved the first book, so this is going to be high on my wishlist for next year!! I hope it won’t be a whole year that we have to wait since the first one just recently came out!

I haven’t read Anna Dressed in Blood yet. Still languishing in the TBR pile. But I agree with you that cover is like O_O, pops straight to me. It also helped that red is my favorite color.
