4.0

A wonderfully haunting new version of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. Author Dax Varley has expanded upon and given a new twist to the characters from the original storyline so that there is now a romance, more intrigue and more to lose.

Katrina Van Tassel, a beautiful daughter of a wealthy landowner welcomes the new school teacher, Ichabod Crane, to town. The former school teacher has perished at the hands of the Headless Horseman. This fact is very troubling for the residents of Sleepy Hollow, seeing as they thought to be rid of him once and for all three years prior.

Ichabod Crane's character is now handsome and full of new and radical ideas, he is instantly attracted to the headstrong and independent Katrina. As their relationship develops, the Headless Horseman once again wreaks havoc on the town, including Ichabod.

I loved this re-telling and was gripped at the end! It seems that there might even be more to tell... Another great Halloween time read!
