Audiobook Review: Anna Dressed in Blood

I received this audio book last summer through Sync's annual audio book give away (which is still happening right now, right HERE).  Two free audio books every week all through the summer. It is a pretty sweet deal.

Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake, narrated by August Ross

Plot: Cas Lowood is a high school student and a ghost hunter.  With the knife he inherited from his father (also a ghost hunter) Cas travels around the world killing murderous ghosts, and protecting the innocent people who believes ghosts only belong in stories.  Until he comes to Thunder Bay* to kill Anna, where things don't go quite so smoothly.


Favourite line: “You fuck - you ate my cat!”.  It's not much in print, but the delivery was hilarious.

I loved listening to this book.  The story was captivating; action, romance, and a bit of horror.  There were a few pretty graphic descriptions of the nasty things ghosts could do to humans, and I am pretty sure I was making some weird expressions on public transit while listening to this one.  The narration was pretty good.  It was a male narrator for a male protagonist, which worked.  He made a valiant effort to do girl voices, but they weren't his strongest.  I loved the voice he did for one of the male jocks, it reminded me of one of the frog hunters in The Princess and the Frog**

Sequel:
Girl of Nightmares

*Yay Canadian location! AND a Canadian location that is treated like any America location (that is, no emphasis on beavers, or mounties or anything.
