Title: Girl of Nightmares
Author: Kendare Blake
Pages: 332
Genre: YA Horror
Medium: Hardback
Acquisition: Library Book
Date Completed: January 18, 2012
Rating: **1/2

The weakest plot device of the first book, Anna Dressed in Blood, takes center stage in the sequel, Girl of Nightmares.  There is no greater believability in the second book, the tension is slow to build, and the narrative delves into one 1970s B-movie cliche after another.  That all being said, the conclusion to the action is highly satisfactory, making me glad I continued to read after all.
