This was such an awesome surprise from S&S and I actually did a little dance of appreciation when I opened the package it came in.

Anna Dressed in Blood was one of my absolute fave books last year and I've been anxiously awaiting the second book. I requested an ARC of this book several months ago but doubted I'd get one since this was such a coveted read and I knew many bloggers would be requesting it...so imagine my squealing excitement when Tor sent me a prettyful finished copy! Seriously, this book cover is gorgeous! PLus, they sent two cute Anna buttons! Look for my review later this week

A BIG thank you to James Jennewein, Eric Edstrom, Richard Due, Tor Teen and Random House for all the bookish awesomeness!!!!
