Wake the Hollow by Gaby Triana
3.0
When I signed up for the blog tour for Wake The Hollow, I had no idea what I was getting in to! I’m not a big horror reader, because of preference rather than because I’m a scaredy cat (I watch Supernatural, no big deal!) and I have no idea of the legend of Sleepy Hollow, but the premise intrigued me, so I signed up, because books like this can really surprise you even if you go in knowing basically nothing.
I do, however, love the idea of ghosts being able to communicate with the living (whether or not I believe in ghosts which is a whole other topic and I’m loathe to give my opinion in case I do indeed offend a ghost) although from what I could tell, for Mica, it was more of an annoyance/distraction than a help, considering she could barely close her eyes without more voices appearing. That would grow old real fast for me, I’m telling you now. I like my sleep not to be disturbed by voices, thank you very much and I thought Mica did amazing to not commit herself to an asylum.
Wake The Hollow was actually a really intriguing, fascinating book. It kept me entertained throughout, and on the very, very edge of my seat most of the time. Especially since Mica is such a great character that you just want to hide her away somewhere so she’s safe, because there was definitely spooky goings-ons, and intrigue and it was just terrifying. I felt on edge the whole time I was reading. The ending was the biggest surprise, almost like a punch in the gut, it really did surprise me. This was a very entertaining (and terrifying) read.
