It took me three years to finish this book!---------So please, how would you rate a book you've been reading for three years? I seriously don't know.The beginning was hell on earth! Someone else had to write it. No way this was a continuation to Anna Dressed in Blood one of my favourite books!So, it was boring. They were talking for ages. Then we got Jestine and I hoped it would be fun again. But they were talkingThen I finally got some action pops up like the Suicide forest which was brillia...

The following book has been found in an abandoned, run-down house along with a body, a pen, and a worn and tattered copy of Girl of Nightmares.  The walls have many words and phrases written in blood. It's contents provide the only clues to theevents that led to the the death of a person and an increasing string of disturbances in the area.It reads as such: This is a journal of my reading expedition.  I have traveled to this remote locale so that I may read Girl of Nightmares by Kendare Blake in...

the problem is me.i loved anna dressed in blood. loved it. i thought it was clever and spooky and funny with interesting characters and great action sequences. i thought it was beautiful and sad and striking.i waited for this sequel with crazed anticipation. and then i saw it at ALA and i thought it was too good to be true and there were only two copies, and it was one of those gray area situations where i wasn't sure if it was for the taking or not, so i froze and i hemmed and hawed and finally...

This is one example of a book I would read for the cover alone. Heck, slap this cover on a 9000 page Spanish history book, and I will read it ALL! Even though I don't know Spanish >.< Luckily, what's inside this cover is just as incredible as the outside and will leave you equally spellbound!It was clear from the beginning that Anna was not going to be as big a character as in the first novel. I was a bit disappointed at first because Anna is fabulous and crazy, but I can assure you that her abs...

She crossed over death to call me. I crossed through Hell to find her.This book wasn't quite as good as Anna Dressed in Blood, but still, it was a great read and a great conclusion to this duology.I've got to say it again, my favorite thing about this series are the characters. I loved every single one of the main characters (even though Cas did sometimes annoy me over his obsession with saving Anna). But I especially loved chemistry between Cas, Carmel and Thomas. They really were great friends...

2.5 stars - I absolutely LOVED the first book because I thought Blake did an incredible job writing a morbidly twisted yet hauntingly beautiful masterpiece. But before I read this one, a friend had asked me, "How much would you like Anna without the scary scenes? Just Cas doing stuff with Thomas and Carmel?" Apparently, not so much because this book just didn't do it for me, and except for the totally awesome end in the last four chapters, I spent a lot of time either being pissed off or bore...

Well, at least I got closure. I feel like a shoulder devil waving my little pitchfork around saying all sorts of bad things again, sigh, but Girl of Nightmares is almost a complete letdown. I'm not the biggest fan of Anna Dressed in Blood, but Anna still managed to be dark and very disturbing when it needed to, this sequel doesn't even come close. Rather than stepping up her game, filling up this sequel with scenes even more visually haunting and memorably terrifying, Kendare Blake doubles down

Warning: while this review contains no spoilers for the book I'm reviewing, it inevitably involves some spoilers for the book to which it's a sequel, Anna Dressed in Blood (which I reviewed here: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show... . The situation in this book directly grows out of the events of the first one; and though the author provides some brief references to those in the opening chapters here, if you have not read the series opener, you would get only the very bare basics of what hap...

OH MY GOD!!! the cover is soooooooo awesome *FAINTS* oh Anna! why do you have to be so effing deadly and beautiful at the same time. :3

My rating: 3.5/5 starsFirst line: “I think I killed a girl who looked like this once.”Favourite quote:“She crossed over death to call me. I crossed through Hell to find her.”Song of choice: DNA(Blood Pressure) by The KillsLet me introduce you to my perfect vision of Anna Korlov. (c) AF on DeviantArt*sigh* So pretty *gazes fondly*Girl of Nightmares picks up six months after the ending of Anna Dressed in Blood. Cas can’t get over Anna’s crossing away and he’s still haunted by her sacrifice, so...

"It's probably going to be blood," Thomas says in a regretful tone that doesn't match the devious excitement in his eyes. "It's almost always about blood." If your dead, ghostly girlfriend sacrificed herself for you, you'd hope she'd at least finally be at peace, right? But it turns out poor Anna is still a lost, unmoored soul, and Cas Lowood is still haunted by her face everywhere he goes. In this sequel to Anna Dressed in Blood, which was one of my favorite books from 2011, Cas must find ou

Gnnngth! I loved the first one but this one was just okay! Can't win them all! 🎃Happy Reading! Mel 🖤🐺🐾

Closer to 3.5 stars. To say that I'd been eagerly anticipating Girl of Nightmares would be an understatement of epic proportions. Anna Dressed in Blood is one of my favorite books and I simply HAD to learn Anna's fate as soon as possible. I had unreasonably high expectations, true, but for the most part, Kendare Blake came through. In the sixth row of the theater, in the third chair in, Anna winks at me. Or maybe she just blinks. I can't tell. She's missing half of her face A lot of my questi...

WHATNO.This book ugh I'm so upset I can't even begin to describe it. I originally expected this book to be just as awesome as the first book, but as per usual, it wasn't. It dragged on, boring. The writing of course was amazing because I love the way Kendare Blake writes. But unlike the first book, it had no spark. Carmel was annoying, Thomas was just "there" and Cas? He was puke-worthy. Cas I feel like the one person who didn't like this book. Cas was boring the only funny part he had t

In Girl of Nightmares we pick up several months after Anna sacrificed herself to save Cas, Thomas and Carmel, by taking the Obeahman to Hell. Since then, Cas has been going through the motions of life and school. He follows up on ghost tips with Carmel and Thomas tagging along. The three of them now form a sort of ghost-busting team. However, Cas can't get Anna out of his head. Everyone has done research and they've consulted the spiritual community but they can't nail down what happened to Anna...

This review is also available over at my blog._________________________God, that cover is so fucking badass. I love how Anna's like "Come with me . . . " I would, in a heartbeat. I would also bring my copy of the first book and make her sign it.I adored Anna Dressed in Blood. I loved everything about that book and ever since I finished it I've been waiting and waiting to get this sequel, and the wait was excruciating. But oh God, did it feel good to finally be able to buy it. I was expecting an
