Of all the ghosts books I have read--and I haven't read many--this is the best one. Blake begins the first chapter with Cas Longwood on a mission to kill a ghost who has been killing humans.
Cas's father killed ghosts before him, and Cas thinks that is his destiny in life too: to rid the world of ghosts who murder humans. Cas travels around the world with his witch mother and spirit-sniffing cat using his father's athame to destroy these ghosts, and he even tells us he doesn't know what happens to the ghosts because they are all ready dead.
When he arrives in Thunder Bay, Canada, to kill Anna, he finds out that she is not the typical ghost he has encountered before. When he meets her, she beats the "you know what" out of him. She has killed everyone who has entered her house (that at times is like Monster House) but allows Cas to live when she kills another person who is with Cas. Cas is intrigued by this and begins to research who Anna is and what really happened to her.
I didn't think this was a book that I would like, but once I started reading, I didn't want to put it down because I wanted to find out who the next person to be killed would be and if Cas would be able to "save" Anna so that no more blood would be shed.
