So, everyone should first know that I dislike being scared and so jumping into this book was a little difficult for me at first. But I quickly fell in love with Kendare Black's main character Cas's narration and enjoyed his true to the moment, teenager in the 2010's, style of story telling. At times being in his head got a little old, but overall, I remember being a teen and having the same kinds of thoughts myself. I was a little surprised by the amount of swearing the book though. I would consider the story to be upper grade in nature for high schoolers, but was not impressed with the amount of swear words in it. 
 So was I scared, you may ask? Actually, no. This was just the right level of suspenseful and scary for me. I enjoyed seeing the duality of Anna, but I grew up knowing ghosts to be something that could not be touched and they could not touch anything (opaque creatures not made with much more substance than air) and so I had a hard time imagining Anna as something that could pick up objects and touch people beyond when she was angry and wanted to kill/rip a person apart. 
 I will definitely be reading the next book in this duology!
