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.

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 have been waiting for this book for forever!  And I finally get it off hold from the library.  I dive in headfirst and don't come up for air until the last page.  Overall, I must say that I wasn't as impressed with this volume as the first.  But...  I really did like the book.  It had twists and turns.  It had horror and romance.  It had a great main character and side characters, and villans.  I was into the book.  I only wish that Anna was in the book more often...  Still awesome book!
