I'm putting this amazing book as 'read', even though I haven't really read it cover to cover. Let's just say it's because it's impossible for me to read this thing in one hit. It's just that complicated. I still haven't really figured out who is actually narrating at each point (I can feel those of you who have read this judging me, thinking, 'Who is this stupid person?' But whatever. Someday I will finish it, and be awesome, like you). Technically, then, Wuthering Heights is a 'currently-reading' book, but I find that currently reading would entail that I'm actually currently reading it. And I'm not. I pick it up from time to time, and read a bit more. Or, sometimes, in the worst cases, I start over again, because I really just can't remember all the little details, that are highly essential in accomplishing an understanding of this book. Still, I have reached my pb of over halfway, so, one of these days, I will finish it :)
A NEW FAVORITE. REVIEW: http://theliteraturelion.blogspot.com... Cas has spent his life chasing after the one thing that took his father away: ghosts. With a handy-dandy knife, his annoying cat, and caring mother, Cas ventures to find a ghost that's killed more than 20 teenagers. Anna Dressed in Blood is the one ghost you don't want to mess with, but with a few sidekicks, Cas starts to gets an insight on what Anna's life was like and begins to feel sorry for her. First off, I love ghosts and horror stories. I've had my fair share of scary things, but nothing compared to to some of the movies I watch and books I've read. I was definitely interested in Anna Dressed In Blood when I heard about it's creepiness and it's plot revolving around ghosts. I was hoping it was going to be a bit more scary, but I was pleasantly surprised with the ghosts and gore it included! As a protagonist, I look for a character that's witty and sarcastic; yet endearing. Most of the time when I think of characters like this, female protagonists pop into my head. After reading Anna, Cas may end up being the one character that I always picture - and he's a boy! Cas's character was very well developed and I found myself lusting after him a bit, just because of how well I felt I could connect with him, even though I've never hunted ghosts or lost a parent before! What I loved the most about this novel, was the fact that Kendare Blake wrote from a guy's perspective so flawlessly! Almost all the time I read a novel from a male's POV, I have to remind myself throughout the novel: "wait, I forgot this guy is supposed to be a guy!" Cas was written like a guy should be written, and he wasn't just basic either. He was flawless! I really enjoyed the supporting characters as well. Carmel became a good friend to Cas, and at first I thought she was going to be a total b-word, but I love how well she fit in with Cas and the ghost hunting and wasn't the stereotype popular girl. Also, Thomas was pretty cute because of his awkwardness. I hope he gets a girl, *cough cough, Carmel.* Anna, Anna, Anna. I felt so bad for her since the beginning of the book. The way she spoke and she held herself through the novel made me feel sorrowful. I'm glad she was able to connect with Cas by the end of the novel! Their friendship continued to grow until they both figured out what they felt for each other. The creepiness of this novel kept me on my toes, and I loved how it progressed. It wasn't as scary as I was hoping, but it still had it's freaky moments! As you can tell, I loved pretty much everything out of this novel. This book pretty much defied all odds and Kendare Blake wasn't afraid to try something that wasn't popular in YA. She nailed the male POV, she created a suspenseful scary story that captivated audiences, and created an adorable romance that sparked at the end of the novel. If you pick this one up, you definitely won't be disappointed!
