Atmosfer creepy-nya sebetulnya dapet. Karakter Cas dan Anna cukup oke. Sayangnya selain mereka, karakter pendukung lain nggak ada yang terasa spesial. Thomas dan Carmel, sebagai sohibnya Cas, jujur aja boring menurut saya. Karakternya Will sempat menarik perhatian tapi jatuhnya ternyata two-dimensional saja. Villain-nya juga sebetulnya keren, tapi klimaksnya... kerasa gitu doang? Didn't engage me enough sampai saya sempat mandek baca beberapa bulan, sekadar karena lupa.

I really, really enjoyed this? I picked it up when I was in London because the cover was awesome and it sounded pretty good, I hadn't ever heard of it though or read any reviews but like, I'M SO GLAD I TRUSTED MY INSTINCTS IT'S THE BEST YA BOOK I'VE READ IN A LONG TIME.

Anna's sacrifice is really touching. I kinda expected that I would be scared or creeped out because of this book. But it didn't. Which I think is okay. The book has a way of keeping you in touch with it. I love it.

I had high hopes going into this book, and I was certainly not disappointed!
In Anna Dressed in Blood, Kendare Blake creates a beautiful world. (Sure, Cas may be a bit reminiscent of the TV show Supernatural and the brothers Winchester, but I love that show so I won't complain.) The use of ghosts and witchcraft was used perfectly--nothing was overdone. Even the horror was great. Some scenes are truly gruesome, but not so much that you don't want to keep reading.
Now, with all of these supernatural elements, some people may be wondering how the looove aspect fits in. Perfectly, I say. It's definitely not the main focus, but the feelings between Cas and Anna are believable and raw. There is even something of romance between two side characters that I loved. Like the horror, the romance was used with a deft hand. (And wow, those two things should really go together, but they do in Anna Dressed in Blood.)
I highly recommend this book for anyone looking to step off the beaten path of supernatural YA. Cas and Anna are both multidimensional characters and I loved their connection. I can't wait to get my hands on the sequel.

Captivating and the writing was great. I couldn't stop listening to it (audiobook). It was a great audiobook. Awesome voice team behind that *claps

I've never been much of a horror READER.
As for movies, I'm a junkie but I can never find a good, gruesome horror book that isn't cliche and predictable. This one, is not like any I've read before.
I loved Cas' character and I adored Anna. I loved every fiber of her and her character and her relationship with Cas.
I love how the reader got to see it morph and change into different things and the character development was fantastic.
I loved the plot.
Great read before Halloween!
