Exciting and well-written, though it does not close in on the predecessor

Since Cas against Obeahman fought him and with the help of Anna, who sacrificed herself for him and his friends banished, has life for him has become empty. Because Anna's disappearance very burdened him. So much so that he sees and hears Anna everywhere, even if his friends assure him that it can not be. Particularly if he promoted other spirits to the afterlife, he feels that Anna is with him. He brings not only his life in danger, but also his friends Carmel and Thomas, although understand his grief, but are very concerned about Cas. But Cas is certain that Anna calls him, needs his help. But actually no one can back who has ever left the world. But why is Anna to him while no one else seems to see? For him, it's time to look for her and to reciprocate, because ultimately has repeatedly saved his life. But how to save someone who is actually already dead and in hell?

MY OPINION

I was really looking forward to the continuation of ANNA DRESSED IN BLOOD because me the first volume has extremely well-liked and the endless morass of clone-books was something new. The cover to the second part is in any case again beautiful and promising and fits well to the history as the first band. It actually looks like, so Anna would entice someone, but on a tender, gentle way, by stretching out his hand, in expectation that they are seized and one by the hell fire that blazes behind her leads.

Cas liked although not quite as good as the first volume, which is due to its melancholy and apathy at the beginning of the book, but as a whole is still a tougher and fascinating character who fortunately contrasts strongly with the protagonists pabulum, the one often found in children's books. You could call him as stubborn, or perhaps as Lovesick denote that he firmly believes to see Anna and heard, I found his faith in the matter but very convincing and enthralling. Every time Cas thought he saw Anna, or she was actually somewhere near him, I got goose bumps.

Carmel and Thomas, as well as Cas, unusual characters for a youth book and grown me downright fond. You make a great team and you can see that they get along well and in many views are very similar. Carmel I especially love, because they, despite their status as "Queen Bee" is at the school publicly Cas and especially Thomas, who is a freak and one of the outsiders. However, it is the one that Cas' "hallucinations" is facing particularly skeptical and does not want to deal with the idea to rescue someone from hell. Nevertheless, they support their friends and stands by her side, as they too Anna owes her life.

The introduction to the book turned out to be for me then but more difficult than in the previous part. This was partly due to the mood that prevailed in the book. Cas is, understandably, very depressed about Anna's final disappearance and missing them very much. This affects also clearly on his mood and he is often in a bad mood. On the other hand dominate especially in the first 150 pages of dialogues mainly the events that have made the progress in the history of a hassle for me. While Cas already struggling just to start with Carmel and Thomas against a spirit that almost kills the two friends, because Cas distracted by a vision, Annas, but the conversations at the beginning, especially to Morfan and Gideon, rather slow and tiring , Both rates Cas from which to look for Anna and assure him that Anna can not be saved. Of course, Cas does not adhere to this advice, but otherwise the book would have no action. ;)

After one has read through the first few pages, which took me quite a long time, the story is yet again exciting and the proportions of Anna's stay in hell slowly assume clear forms, as well as Cas' plan to save them from it. He advised and his two friends in different hazards. The remaining 250 pages of the book are certainly very exciting and captivating and have let me cheer right. I am really impressed with what Kendare Blake everything has come up. In fact, this book is for me, along with its predecessor, one of the most innovative of the last few years and stands out from the crowd.

Like the first volume also happen here in this sometimes very brutal and cruel things that could scare a fainthearted reader thoroughly and destroy. I personally have no problem with such descriptions, but is possible its readers should be aware of when you plan to read the first volume. Since Anna is burned once before Cas's eyes or bled to death in agony for a whole night directly on his bed.

The end of the book, which indeed should also represent the end of the series, has me personally liked, because I find that it is a successful and fitting conclusion to the story. The events and happenings just before the end are thrilling and exciting, a real showdown and the end can I be regarded as completed, although I know that some readers would like to read a third part. Should the pass, I would be happy, but I'm also pleased with the very end. :)

CONCLUSION

In my view, the second and thus last volume in this series is a bit worse than the first, because it has a very sluggish and partially boring beginning, yet he was able to inspire a certain point and provides the perfect finish of the series for me is. The writing style is good and can be, even in English, read fluently. Who has difficulties with brutal scenes, the book should probably steer clear, but if you like creepy horror stories that can access safely. I forgive the book finally 4 of 5 stars.
