Synopsis:

Cas Lowood has inherited an unusual vocation: He kills the dead. So did his father before him, until he was gruesomely murdered by a ghost he sought to kill. Now, armed with his father's mysterious and deadly athame, Cas travels the country with his kitchen-witch mother and their spirit-sniffing cat. They follow legends and local lore, destroy the murderous dead, and keep pesky things like the future and friends at bay. Searching for a ghost the locals call Anna Dressed in Blood, Cas expects the usual: track, hunt, kill. What he finds instead is a girl entangled in curses and rage, a ghost like he's never faced before. She still wears the dress she wore on the day of her brutal murder in 1958: once white, now stained red and dripping with blood. Since her death, Anna has killed any and every person who has dared to step into the deserted Victorian she used to call home. Yet she spares Cas's life.

Review:

First off, I am not a fan of horror/mystery/suspense/thrille, mapa-movie man yan or book. This is my first time to read a book like this. Romance kasi talaga ang genre ko. Nirecommend lang ng friend ko ung book na `to. Nung una, medyo natakot talaga ako. Cover and title palang kasi eh. Tsaka obvious naman kasi na maypagkahorror siya kasi nga ghost ung involve sa synopsis.

Nagandahan ako sa kanya. May konting takot kasi, matatakutin talaga ako kahit mga ganito na binabasa ko lang. Dinadama ko kasi talaga yung mga binabasa ko. I'm almost halfway nung nainis na ako kasi yung hinahanap kong killer, wala pa din. Nanghihingi na ako ng spoilers, pero walang gustong magbigay sa akin. Hanggang sa natapos ko na. Tahdaaah! 

What I really liked sa story is yung pagiging pursigido ni Cas to save Anna. Hindi niya sinukuan kahit pa alam niyang delikado. Cliche move, but who wouldn't like a guy na gagawin ang lahat masave ka lang. And yes, I`m focusing again sa romance.

PS. Hindi ako ganun kagaling magbigay ng review, but I think I managed naman kahit papano. And hindi ako ganun kafluent sa english, instead ma wrong grammar, I'll stick with my mother tongue. :P
