I liked this book, but I 
didn't love it.  I think my expectations were too high, seeing as how in
 love I was with Anna Dressed in Blood.  To start off, what I liked most
 about this book was how scary the scary scenes were!  When they were 
working through the suicide forest YIPE! I was in the comfort of my 
bedroom and I was seriously getting scared by this.  The parts with Cas 
seeing Anna were also really freaking me out.  Blake does a terrific job
 with her horror descriptions. The story was fast paced and action 
packed, another big thumbs up for that.  However, there was one big let 
down for me in this book.  Anna was hardly in it :(   Her moments in the
 book were so fleeting, when I got to the end I thought for sure there 
would be another book in the series. Going back and thinking about it, 
these books are told from Cas' perspective and not Anna's so I need to 
realize that the focus is going to be on him.  Although I really liked 
every single character in this book and the last, I have to say that I 
love Anna.  I wanted more of her and her violent scariness.  This book 
just didn't have something that the last book had and although I did 
enjoy reading it I was a little let down.
