Honestly, I've never been scared by a book before, it's never even been an issue. I read a part in a novel that's intended to be frightening, and I might make a face, or if it's especially gory maybe say ew to myself under my breath, but the straight up terror I have gotten from the book I am currently reading I have never experienced before. The name of the book is Anna Dressed In Blood, and it's written by Kendare Blake. I have to say, the descriptive language in this book makes my knees week and my mouth drop right after a math test, and the kind that I simply can't just put down. The character of Anna Korlov, or as she's known locally by the town she haunts, Anna dressed in blood. She's described in a way that makes me fear her, and picture her perfectly clearly in my mind. I love the way she's described, the way I imagine her to move, and the fact that she somehow has a personality after death. I like the intended main character, Cas, second to Anna, but somehow I can relate to him. He's funny in a dark way, and has a sort of sarcastic air about him that makes him impossible for me to dislike. Characters like that have always been among my favorites. He seems real, does things that I would do, and acknowledges things that any normal high schooler might. Over all, I love this book, but I don't think it's for everyone. If you are faint in heart, for example, don't even risk it.
Seriously.
This is the kind of thing that keeps you up at night, partly because youre too busy reading for the mythical entity called sleep.
