Girl of Nightmares by: Kendare Blake (Anna #2)
“Girl of Nightmares, the acclaimed sequel to Kendare Blake’s Anna Dressed in Blood.
It’s been months since the ghost of Anna Korlov opened a door to Hell in her basement and disappeared into it, but ghost-hunter Cas Lowood can’t move on.
His friends remind him that Anna sacrificed herself so that Cas could live—not walk around half dead. He knows they’re right, but in Cas’s eyes, no living girl he meets can compare to the dead girl he fell in love with.
Now he’s seeing Anna everywhere: sometimes when he’s asleep and sometimes in waking nightmares. But something is very wrong…these aren’t just daydreams. Anna seems tortured, torn apart in new and ever more gruesome ways every time she appears.
Cas doesn’t know what happened to Anna when she disappeared into Hell, but he knows she doesn’t deserve whatever is happening to her now. Anna saved Cas more than once, and it’s time for him to return the favor. ”

This is the 2nd book in the Anna duology, the first being Anna Dressed in Blood. I enjoyed this book almost as much as I did the first book. It was a bit slower in pace, but still a lot of fun. With the exception of Caramel, I really liked most of the characters in this story. This book didn’t have quite the same Supernatural (the tv show) feel to it as the first book, but it does have some really dark sides to it, and yet I still wanted to like Anna in spite of it all.
I was pleased with how the story wrapped up and will definitely be keeping an eye out for more books by Kendare Blake.
