(More customer reviews)Cas (Theseus Cassio) Lowood kills ghosts. Not just any ghosts; only the ghosts that harm other people. He inherited the ability (and the athame necessary to do the work) from his father, who was killed mysteriously when Cas was seven. Now, 10 years later, Cas has come to Thunder Bay, Ontario, in search of a ghost named Anna Dressed in Blood. Anna, as a young lady, was murdered in 1958 and now she haunts the house in which she lived during her life, and kills anyone foolish enough to come inside. Until Cas came inside - for some reason, she spared his life. Cas develops a fascination for Anna - can he, along with his new friends Thomas and Carmel, do what he came to do and stop Anna from killing?
I really enjoyed this book - it was well-written, spooky and engaging. However, I was stupefied to discover that it was rated for "young adults." There is a good deal of very intense gore and a lot of swearing - the f-bomb was dropped twice just in chapter two, and that was a short chapter. I have no problem with such, and I imagine a lot of "young people" today don't either, but I would also imagine that their parents would have a problem with it. So, I'm warning anyone that might be bothered by this - lots of gore and some swearing to boot.
That said, I would recommend this book - I liked it a great deal and I think many people would. Give it a look if the above caveat doesn't apply to you!
