***I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review***
Not a huge fan of this book. I am not one for fairy tale books and this was way too similar. I want something more original and not a spinoff of a movie or fairy-tale.
This book was not for me. The writing was great, but I just couldn't get into the book.

Great!!! 4.5 rounded up
Of all the remakes and retellings out there today, THIS is the one I didn’t know I needed. Sleep Hallow. The headless horseman. The angst of a love triangle gone wrong. Legends, myth, magic - it’s wonderful and refreshingly redone. AND considering the author, that pesky love triangle.... isn’t.
Pros:
- Sleepy hallow. Come on! It’s Americana at its finest.
- Nicely thought out.
- Intriguing.
- I actually liked crane here, but I always did. AND the horseman.
Cons:
- Felt a bit short.

I have tried this author's work in the past didn't like it then could not get through those books either. However, I thought no harm would befall me if I gave their work one more chance. But it seems to me that the author tries to write in a certain hip way almost very genZ style writing which sounds cringe to me

This book was a lot of campy fun! It was some fast-paced and enjoyable Why Choose Halloween fun!
I loooved the character of Crane (sooo underrated) and the Headless Horseman was sexy too. I wasn’t a fan of the blonde cop Bones. He was so boring. But liking 2 out of 3 of the harem isn’t bad!

Calling all Sleepy Hollow fans! This is a great twist on Sleepy Hollow characters. This story is inventive and detailed with amazing imagery. Scenes are steamy creating a fast burn RH romance. I cannot wait for the 2nd book of this duology. I am voluntarily leaving an unbiased, honest review.
