Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake

Cas Lowood is no ordinary teenage boy, with his mother he moves from town to town locating and dispatching the restless dead.  Usually ghosts cannot hurt people but these ghosts are an exception, more than touch they can kill.  Cas comes to Thunder Bay, Ontario to confront the most famous of these creatures, the spirit of a girl called Anna who has killed anyone who stepped into her home.  But as Cas begins yet another high school and encounters Anna after being trapped in her house by the local jocks she fails, for the first time, to kill.  Cas is drawn into the reasons why Anna is where and what she is, and the mystery of the creature that killed his own father and passed the role of ghost killer on to him.

A good fast read, about teenage concerns as well as supernatural ones, starting a new school, being an outsider.
