cgarcia529 's review for:
The Hollow
by Jessica Verday
This book starts out with Abbey's best friend missing and comes to find out that she is dead. Abbey is having to deal with all of her feelings from the loss. She meets Caspian who tries to help her deal with everything. Their relationship grows throughout the story and hits a major twist at the end. Abbey is very likable, and it's easy to feel her sorrow and confusion over her missing best friend. Caspian, is an unlikely hero. He's hardly around, but his presence is felt long after each time he leaves Abbey.
The story takes place around Sleepy Hollows cemetery and really sets the mood. Jessica has done a great job with her research on it, because when you read the book you can just picture all of the details in your head. While this is the beginning of a trilogy, it's very sweet and spooky all at the same time, I found myself enjoying the book very much.
Some reviews that I have read were saying that this was a spin off from The Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving. In my opinion it is not. Abbey and her best friend Kristen were huge fans of Sleepy Hollw and Washington Irving. They lived in the town that revovled around the story. I think one great touch to the book was the quotes at the beginning of each chapter from The Sleepy Hollow. It helped set the mood.
It's very hard to write a review about this book without giving away spoliers so I will leave you with this. This book kept me guessing, every time I thought I had figured something out, a new piece of evidence surfaced and disproved me. The ending was very surprising to me as well.
Look out for the second book in this trilogy " The Haunted".
