Theseus Cassio, known as Cas, is a ghost hunter. He's not your run-of-the-mill Ghostbuster. Rather, he kills spirits that have come back to wreak havoc on mortals. Cas has been one of the world's only ghost hunters since his father's death, traveling around and slaying spirits. When he hears about a ghost in Canada known as Anna Dressed in Blood, who savagely kills runaway kids and homeless people who are unlucky enough to seek refuge in her house, Cas smells a challenge. With the help of a teenage mind-reading witch and a prom queen, he tracks down Anna and prepares to send her back six feet under. There's just one thing wrong: Anna knows what she's done, unlike countless other ghosts Cas has killed. She has a conscious, and seems more human. For some reason, she can't bring herself to kill him.
This is a dark novel, that has just enough romance to accent the magic and mystery without overpowering it. Anna and the other ghosts Cas encounters are not the friendly Casper variety, and will be sure to keep the reader up at night. The style of writing hooks the reader in from the first page. Prepare for a wild ride into Blake's brilliantly crafted supernatural world right to the shocking end
