Goodreads Monday is a weekly meme that was started by @Lauren’s Page Turners. The meme is pretty easy to follow, to participate simply choose a random book from your TBR and explain why you want to read it!
After randomizing via Goodreads (going to my to-read shelf, scrolling down and putting sort order by random) the following book tumbled first from that crowded shelf-
Anna Dressed In Blood (#1 of 2 of the Anna Series) by Kendare Blake
Summary
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.
This looks like it would have been a fun Halloween/October pick! Love the cover. Has anyone read this book or others by Kendare Blake? She also authored the Three Dark Crowns series. Even though Halloween is over, I’m still very open to horror/thrillers and have a few on the TBR for November. Hope everyone is having a great start of the week and thanks for checking out this week’s GR Monday. ~ Kitty

I’ve seen this book a lot but I haven’t read it yet. I did read two books of the Three Dark Crowns series, and then I lost interest but I do want to find out what happened. The author definitely knows how to write dark stories!

Wow, Three Dark Crowns is pretty dark then? I don’t know much about it but almost read it this summer. Love Dark Fiction so hearing that should bode well for Anna Dressed In Red as well.

From what I remember, there is one sister in Three Dark Crowns that was willing to do whatever to win the crown (of course she has to kill her sisters!). I really should finish the series to find out who gets the crown.
