at least, it's a paranormal romance. at most it's a story about two cursed teens, one dead, one alive, afflicted with bloodlust and hellbent on revenge. regardless, i loved it. it's unfortunate these feelings couldn't carry over to the sequel however...

This is a perfect read for the spooky season and I enjoyed this book so much. While I had my issues with a few things overall I really loved this book.

All the supernatural aspect flowed really well together and we get to see different sides of the supernatural genre in this book, which is rare; you either get vampires and werewolves, or witches and wizards. You don't usually get the spread of supernatural creates that we got in this book. And not in a way that feels cohesive and concise. 

Anna Dressed in Blood is my second Kendare Blake series and in every one of her books that I've read so far I ship the main character with a ghost. The way their relationship is written just makes you fall in love with them and their relationship and I wish they could find a way to be together.

The dark/slight humor in this book was the icing on the cake for me. I love Kendare Blake's humor it's so slight that you can miss it, my humor is the same and I adored it in this book.

Without spoilers all I can say about a certain scene is WTF!!! Why did you have to do that! No how could you!!!

If you want to know what I'm talking about just know it involves a death that I will pretend didn't happen.

"It was my job to kill her." 
"Was it? Or was it your job to stop her?" She leans back from the table, cradling her coffee mug between her hands. 

This book was good, but it didn't live up to my expectations. I wasn't shocked or that much impacted, but I have to say, it was pretty creepy and overall, a quick and fun read.

I think this is my first time reading horror. I really enjoyed the creepy parts, and it's got a little bit of humour too. Although, I do think the romance seems a little rushed? and I didn't feel connected to any characters. Plot-wise, it was okay. There was nothing that shocking
except Tybalt's death (YOU WENT TOO FAR, OBEAHMAN!)
, I saw most of it coming, but still, it was good.
