I need the sequel pronto!
I thought this was a fantastic story revolving around the Sleepy Hollow legend. We're thrust in Abbey's life on the day of her best friend Kristen's funeral. Body lost, all they're burying is their hope that she's alive. It was hard to get in the dark mood while reading this in sunny weather, so I reread it once again when it was dark and rainy. It seemed to fit the mood perfectly.rnrnTold through the Abbey's bleak, sad eyes, it was slow at the start. We delve into Abbey's past memories of Kristen and her. Abbey feels lost without Kristen, who is also her only friend. I found it slightly creepy that she takes walks in the cemetery to find peace like it's a normal jaunt around the park but after a while, it was normal to me too.rnrnThe play on Sleepy Hollow isn't there blatantly. Instead, there are nuances which reminds me that it is first and foremost a love story, set in the town of Sleepy Hollow. Which brings me to Caspian. He is totally droolworthy, be it in demeanor or looks. He also seemed like the perfect companion to Abbey, smoothing her slightly rough edges into someone more feminine.rnrnAbbey was a nice character to get to know. One of my favourite things about her is her hobby: making perfumes, delegating certain mixes of scents to a particular person. It made me wonder how she discerns a person to have a certain ingredient or scent. Seeing her grow after Kristen's death was like a wake up call: she seems to realise that life doesn't end with Kristen's death, but that there are lots more to be gained. I liked reading about her entrepreneurship, it gave another depth to the story, showing me that this is more than just a love story, that Abbey has dreams of her own.rnrnOne thing I was slightly disappointed in was that the ending seemed rushed. There was a lot of character and plot development in the book, but I'd have loved to know a little bit more about what happened, because right now I absolutely cannot wait for the sequel. by Liyana
