missprint_ 's review for:

The Hollow by Jessica Verday

1.0

---

I knew I was in trouble when I hit the 200 page mark and still didn't feel invested in this book. Abbey is an interesting narrator and her struggle with her best friend's death felt real. But her narration was erratic in tone and voice. Phrases and passages were repeated almost verbatim and the book just took too long to get the point--so long that by the time things started coming together I was no longer interested. I love the premise (though it's not really at all the plot presented by the jacket flap), I love the cover, I love the Sleepy Hollow connection. But try as I might I just couldn't connect with this one.
