Wow, i finished reading this in a day, I bought it during the afternoon. This series has made me cry so many times. After reading all of the books, you realise that the core themes are friendship, love and self sacrifice. The friendship that Abbey and Kirsten have and the love that they both feel towards each other. Theirs is a special bond. The love that Abbey and Caspian have and how they can only touch once a year. I loved the whole series, the first book was actually sitting on my shelf for a while before I finally opened it, and when I did I was hooked. There arent many books like this out there.

I was afraid the girl was going to have to kill herself to be with the boy but Verday came up with an unexpected ending. I still don't fully get the logic of how this works out, and admittedly, I was reading very quickly just to try to figure out what happens, but somehow the trade feels better than her dying simply to be with him.

I fell in love with the Sleepy Hollow series by Jessica Verday.
I didn't quite know how it was going to end, with the main character rethinking her life.
It was great and exactly how I wanted it to be.
Thank you Jessica for such a lovely tale of everlasting love.

I have been following the mysterious journey of Caspian and Abbey since the beginning book called The Hollow. I was sucked into the legend of Sleepy Hollow and the beautiful romance between the characters. The Hidden is the third and final book in The Hollow trilogy, and the author let it end with a bang.
I will start off by saying that if you haven't read the previous books in the series, you will have a hard time understanding what is going on this book. You will also be confused at the basic plot and who all the characters are. For this reason, this is not a stand alone novel. You really need to read the whole series to understand how Caspian and Abbey have made it to this final chapter. I found myself having to read the previous book before I even attempted to read this one. I needed a refresher course on their story to be able to remember what has happened previously.
In The Hidden, secrets will be revealed along with the mysterious death of Kristen. The reader finally gets closure and answers involving Kristen's death, her relationship with Vincent, what Vincent really wants, and the future that can be involving Caspian. Favorite characters are returned to the fold and make an appearance for the the conclusion as well. The author even gave the reader an unexpected epilogue that finalized the story for the reader.
If I had to pick one problem with this story, it would be the fact that I have mentioned before in this series. It moves slowly throughout the book until you reach the ending. Finally, when the ending was approaching, it picked up its pace and was great. I am saddened by the thought that I am finished with this series because I loved Caspian and Abbey so much. Yet, as they say, all good things must come to an end. Trust me when I say that it is an ending worth the time of reading about!

Okay, I loved The Hollow, and I loved The Haunted, and I was really excited to see how it all ended in The Hidden… but I was highly disappointed. I just felt depressed after reading it. It just wasn’t a satisfying ending for the series or for Abbey.
The story up to the end was amazing. There was plenty of goings on to keep me reading and I loved how Caspian and Abbey’s relationship developed. But I just saw the ending going in a totally different direction from what actually happened.
I think this series had so much potential and whilst The Hidden was great until the ending, I felt that those final few chapters just made the other events from the series quite irrelevant.

I really loved these books but the ending to this one seemed a bit rushed. I felt as though the first 200 pages could have been toned down and led up to a juicy climax. Vincent turned out to be not as daunting as he was made out to be. Abby hit him with a piece of wood and she was able to escape? I was hoping for something a bit more frightening than that. But I did love the love scenes when Caspian and Abby were able to touch. It was heartfelt and moving and you could read how much they loved one another. Overall, I loved the series and the idea of having Kristen come back and Abby take her place was nice. I cannot help but wonder though, does Kristen remember anything? Makes me think of Abby's parents too.
hmm.
hmm.
