Synopsis: Sixteen bloodless bodies. Two teenagers. One impossible explanation.

Summer 1958—a string of murders plagues the Midwest. The victims are found in their cars and in their homes—even in their beds—their bodies drained, but with no blood anywhere.

September 19- the Carlson family is slaughtered in their Minnesota farmhouse, and the case gets its first lead: 15-year-old Marie Catherine Hale is found at the scene. She is covered in blood from head to toe, and at first she’s mistaken for a survivor. But not a drop of the blood is hers.

Michael Jensen, son of the local sheriff, yearns to become a journalist and escape his small-town. He never imagined that the biggest story in the country would fall into his lap, or that he would be pulled into the investigation, when Marie decides that he is the only one she will confess to.

As Marie recounts her version of the story, it falls to Michael to find the truth: What really happened the night that the Carlsons were killed? And how did one girl wind up in the middle of all these bodies?

My rating: ★★★☆☆

I was SO excited about this book! Anna Dressed in Blood is one of my favorite horror books, so I was very happy when I found out that Kendare Blake was diving back into the more spooky side of things with her books! However, the book left much to be desired 😞

Monthly Wrap-Up: February 2022

Hope you guys had a great month! Mine was filled with anxiety mostly 😬 No reason... just me and my mental health issues 😅 I started working out and I am feeling A LOT better now! The last two weeks of February were better for me in that sense! Weather-wise, Washington state was still pretty cold, and we even got snow this weekend, BUT today it started to warm up and we reached 50F!! It was SO nice! I am so sick of the cold, so I hope things will begin to warm up... and stay warm. Lol. Oooh, also, my cousin is getting married in Mexico City this Spring, so our arrangements are getting finalized. After the wedding we're heading to Acapulco for a couple of days and I am SO excited! I literally just booked our hotel there and the resort is beautiful! Ah! I'm excited! And I need a vacation! My mental health demands it 😆 I honestly have not had a vacation since 2019 when I went to Cancun in February... so exactly three years ago! I'm a little worried about Covid, but we are playing it by ear and we're definitely going to be super careful!
