Cas is a ghost hunter, but he can’t seem to
concentrate on his job lately because all he sees is the ghost that he once
loved, Anna. Whenever he sees Anna, she
is suffering in a hell so unimaginable that it drives Cas to find a way to get
her out of her hell. Cas starts to
research different ways to extricate spirits from the other side. With his two best friends he meets up with a
whole group of people who hunt ghosts also.
Together they try to come up with a way to help Anna, but what they
don’t count on is facing past ghosts and trying to decide who they can
trust.
This is the sequel to Anna
Dressed in Blood. Both books are very
entertaining and hard to put down. They
are great ghost stories that will entertain reluctant readers, but as is
evident, in the swear count, it is for older kids. I want to put advisable, but I’m not sure
that with that many “F” words it is really appropriate for school libraries,
but maybe if you had the right kind of reader.
I actually cried at the end of this book and appreciated the
ending. I love the main character and
also his friends. This author writes
very well.
