DNF

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.

I absolutely loved the first novel, Anna Dressed In Blood. It was very creepy and kept me entertained and I enjoyed reading about all of the characters. I just don't know what it was with this one. The pacing felt extremely slow, and I couldn't even get to the first hundred pages. I also felt that this second one had lost its creepiness factor. Cas was a bit too obsessed with Anna, even though he couldn't do much about it. And Thomas and Carmel seemed a bit too love-y dove-y, without the actual relationship part, which was kind of confusing, because it wasn't actually stated that they were a couple, but at times acted like one. I got to about page 78 and had to call it quits. I kept wanting to read something else, and I wasn't as engrossed as I was with the first one. It's a shame because I really enjoyed the first novel, but sadly, this second was a dud for me. I may pick this back up in the later future, but for now, it just wasn't for me.
