I adored this series as a teenager, but rereading it today, Abbey was kind of infuriating, and Caspian wasn’t really likable, at all. Despite that, I still enjoyed the book, and I am hopeful for the next two books. Even though Abbey annoys me with every third thing she does (or something around that), I still feel for her, and I want her to be happy. I personally think Nicholas and Katie are one of the best parts of this book, they were fascinating to me.
The dark love story you can't wait to read is by a mystical author Jessica Verday. Verdy changed Washington Irving’s The Legend of Sleepy Hollow into the dark ,mystical romance you can't forget.
Abbey's lived in Sleepy Hallow all her life. It's a small town, but she loves it especially because her best friend lived there too.Kristen is missing, and rumors are flying. Abbey tries to mourn her friend, but she can't believe that she's dead. Abbey is a very interesting character to come across. At first I thought she was a girl next door type but she soon turned out to be a very strong character, tough enough to overcome many thinks that are thrown at her. Then comes Caspian when Abbey needs someone the most. Caspian is different then other boys, Abbey has met before but she can't put her finger on it. I loved Caspian character because he was the very unoriginally, Gorgeous,Dark,Mysterious guy that Abbey can't resist. When I was reading this book at first I was like , Yeah I know what will happen , nope, I was was like WTH!!!! That's one of the reason I loved this book. I'm not even coming close to telling what happens at the ending because, you will have to read it...I'm sorry LoL.
Jessica Verday writing was darkly good about this twisted love story that I recommend that won't disappoint.

I liked this book but it frustrated me because I felt like it was a 500 page book that could have been 200. I liked the story but it just ended with a cliffhanger and now I have to wait for the next one...I hate that.
What a spectacular book! I've not had these kinda feelings since reading The Twilight series. I've literally not wanted to put it down. I've devoured it. So excited the saga continues on with two more books. Their is just something about YA novels that move me in such a way that is intoxicatingly beautiful.
I can't wait to read the next book in the ghost story. Abbey feels like a very real girl in her emotions and actions.
3.5/5
I’ve had this book for 12 years, but I didn’t even know… turns out that my sister is the one who bought the entire series when we were kids! She remembered liking it, so I wanted to give it a try too. But I was glad I finally pulled it out of my TBR jar, because I don’t know if I would’ve reached for this book otherwise.
The majority of my books from childhood are fantasy/paranormal, which is cool because these days, all I read are thrillers, so it’s a good change of pace. This book was super thick, so it was intimidating to start it, but it was surprisingly easy to read. The only thing was, I wasn’t motivated to pick it up… I felt like nothing really happened for the bulk of it, which was disappointing. This book was super dramatic at times, and the miscommunication/drama was a bit much. But I have to remember that high school me would’ve LOVED it.
I did guess one of the plot twists, but I didn’t guess the other one. I’m glad I have the entire series, because I still have a lot of unanswered questions… overall, it was a decent read. I’m usually not too fond of books in a series because it’s a huge commitment for me as a mood reader, but I’m eager for the next!

Great concept, to romance parts are beautiful, too much filler for no reason, and inciting events occur in overly convoluted ways. Caspian is an amazing love interest in the first quarter of the book and everything after falls flat.
I was not sure if I would enjoy this book. I have to say I really did.
The storyline was good, though just a few things were left unanswered,maybe it was meant to be that way. As I pondered the death not being explained, I remembered one line that Caspian said.
With the ending being left open, I can only hope for a sequel to tie up those few loose ends and see if Abbey's Hollow comes to life.
