Descriptions du produit

Revue de presse

I lived inside of this novel, swallowed whole by it's beauty and anguish. In short...it was captivating. (KindleObsessed.com)

Grabs you from the first sentence. The story is full of sharp wit and terrifying chills that will keep readers enthralled until the last page. (RT Book Reviews)

Sucked me in and kept me glued to the pages. (Paranormal Book Reviews)

Wow. Just wow. (FWIW.net)

Vivid and real. (Bookbag 2012-07-01)

This is an enjoyable book - as fast-paced and gory as Darren Shan, amusingly sarcastic and as romantically bittersweet as a Brontë novel. (We Love This Book 2012-10-01)

Présentation de l'éditeur

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. Together they follow legends and local lore, trying to keep up with the murderous dead—keeping pesky things like the future and friends at bay.

When they arrive in a new town in search of a ghost the locals call Anna Dressed in Blood, Cas doesn't expect anything outside of the ordinary: 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.

But she, for whatever reason, spares Cas's life.

Anna Dressed in Blood is a 2011 Kirkus Best Teen Books of the Year title.
One of NPR's Top 5 Young Adult Novels of 2011.

At the publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management software (DRM) applied.

5.0 étoiles sur 5 action, romance et sueurs froides 21 août 2012
Par Encre
Format:Format Kindle
Rien n'est banal dans la vie de Cas, un adolescent de 17 ans.
Ni sa mère, sorcière de profession.
Ni son chat, capable de détecter la présence de fantômes
Ni sa vocation, héritée de son père. En effet, depuis trois ans déjà, Cas "tue" les fantômes meurtriers.
Sa nouvelle cible est un fantôme particulièrement violent qui tue tous ceux qui pénètrent dans la maison qu'elle hante. Tous, jusqu'au jour où elle épargne la vie de Cas.

Les plus:
- la qualité et la profondeur des personnages:
. Cas, le narrateur de l'histoire, est un personnages très réussi. Il apprend à travailler en équipe et à vivre avec des sentiments nouveaux (amitié et amour). Son évolution constitue l'un des intérêts du roman.
. la dualité du personnage d'Anna, à la fois jeune fille innocente brutalement assassinée, et fantôme meurtrier.
. les nouveaux amis de Cas. Carmel, la "prom queen" dont la beauté n'est pas le seul atout. Intelligence, générosité et courage ne lui font pas défaut. Tom, le copain intelligent, loyal, un peu complexé et amoureux de la plus jolie fille du lycée
. Les adultes, la mère de Cas et le grand-père de Tom, ne sont ni des idiots ni des tyrans. Ils savent respecter les choix des adolescents et injecter une dose saine de responsabilité et de confiance.

- l'atmosphère surnaturelle et sombre. En général je n'aime pas les histoires d'horreur mais les passages "gore" du roman ne m'ont paru ni excessifs ni gratuits ou superflus. Probablement parce qu'ils sont contrebalancés par des moments légers, amusants ou romantiques, et parce que l'intrigue est très bien construite.

- le rythme soutenu, le suspense constant, l'absence de temps morts ou de longueurs.
- la force des images. Anna, notamment, fait une entrée saisissante avec sa robe qui dégouline de sang.
- la fin excellente qui est à la fois une résolution et une ouverture.

conclusion:
Anna vêtue de sang est désormais mon fantôme préféré. :)
ANNA DRESSED IN BLOOD est un livre classé Young Adult. Nul besoin d'être un adolescent, ni même un amateur d'horreur pour apprécier ce roman qui raconte avec talent une histoire passionnante et tragique.

5.0 étoiles sur 5 One of the best YA books of the year with terrific and unique characters 21 juillet 2012
Par Christina (Ensconced in YA) - Publié sur Amazon.com
Format:Broché|Achat authentifié par Amazon
This book has received rave reviews from some of my favorite bloggers, so I knew I had to try it. And boy, were they right. It's so hard to be truly original these days, and Anna Dressed in Blood has it in spades with with a freshly, unique protagonist and voice.

Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake is one of my favorite reads of the year. The protagonist Cas is a ghost killer. He is one of very few people who can do this, and he is determined to track down the ghost that killed his father. He moves from place to place to put these spirits to rest, and meets new friends when he tracks down Anna Korlov, the girl dressed in blood who has terrorized the town. What happens is so unexpected and right, and everyone who loves YA (and even those who don't read horror) should read it.

I had the pleasure of reading this bit by bit, and I couldn't wait to race home to get to read more. The characters are terrific, three dimensional, and very deftly drawn. I loved the voice of the protagonist, Cas, and Anna herself, is probably one of my favorite characters ever written. The mean girl, Carmel, is another star in her own right, and breaks out of the typical popular girl mold, which I really appreciated. Women are probably the most powerful characters in the novel, despite the protagonist being a skilled ghost killer, and I appreciated that.

Overall, a smashing success by Blake, and terrifically well written. A must read for any YA fan. I am thrilled to see what else Blake has up her sleeve.

5.0 étoiles sur 5 Great story, but NOT for "young" adults 23 juin 2011
Par K. Sozaeva - Publié sur Amazon.com
Format:Relié|Commentaire Amazon Vine™ (De quoi s'agit-il?)
Cas (Theseus Cassio) Lowood kills ghosts. Not just any ghosts; only the ghosts that harm other people. He inherited the ability (and the athame necessary to do the work) from his father, who was killed mysteriously when Cas was seven. Now, 10 years later, Cas has come to Thunder Bay, Ontario, in search of a ghost named Anna Dressed in Blood. Anna, as a young lady, was murdered in 1958 and now she haunts the house in which she lived during her life, and kills anyone foolish enough to come inside. Until Cas came inside - for some reason, she spared his life. Cas develops a fascination for Anna - can he, along with his new friends Thomas and Carmel, do what he came to do and stop Anna from killing?

I really enjoyed this book - it was well-written, spooky and engaging. However, I was stupefied to discover that it was rated for "young adults." There is a good deal of very intense gore and a lot of swearing - the f-bomb was dropped twice just in chapter two, and that was a short chapter. I have no problem with such, and I imagine a lot of "young people" today don't either, but I would also imagine that their parents would have a problem with it. So, I'm warning anyone that might be bothered by this - lots of gore and some swearing to boot.

That said, I would recommend this book - I liked it a great deal and I think many people would. Give it a look if the above caveat doesn't apply to you!

5.0 étoiles sur 5 Can't wait for the sequel 12 juillet 2011
Par Derrick Dodson - Publié sur Amazon.com
Format:Relié|Commentaire Amazon Vine™ (De quoi s'agit-il?)
I really enjoyed this book. Others have pointed out there was lots of gore, and there was, so it may not be appropriate for the youngest of young adults. I think most young adults have probably seen more gore in a standard slasher film. I'm thinking that's not a big issue. One thing I really liked about this book was its treatment of adults. In so many YA books adults are portrayed as idiots, villains, duplicitous, or completely inept. Cas Lowood, along with the ghost Anna and his high school friends Carmel and Thomas, are very much the main characters, but Cas' mom and Thomas' grandfather are both active in this and helpful. That's a great message. Beside that, there's lots of action in this book. You really get into the story. Anna's back story is graphic and powerful. Cas took over the 'family business' of hunting and killing dangerous ghosts after a particularly nasty one killed his father years ago. Now he's come across the most unusual ghost he's ever met, Anna Dressed in Blood. Things are never what they seem, but never in boring or predictable ways, and Kendare Blake really 'wows' with this one. If she's reading this...please, write "The Girl From Hell" faster!
