Summary:
Ireland Crane moves to Sleepy Hollow/ Terrytown to get away from a disastrous romance. What awakens in her when she gets there is much, much worse.
Additional Comments:
– There’s a good deal of snark in the lines of dialogue and in the protagonist’s thoughts. It adds a much-needed lightness to an otherwise gripping but very, very grim, dark, horrific plotline.
– Content warnings: language, graphic violence
– Characters: excellent. One can truly sympathize with Ireland. Noah’s kind of a flat character, but he’s still awesome. Rip is funny, but he doesn’t play much more of a role than inept conscience.
– Although the main character’s supposed to be a school guidance counselor, she does and says some stuff that makes me doubt she’s ever been in earshot of a school.
– Plot: Good but there are some leaps of logic required that have nothing to do with the fantasy side of the story.
– It’s an interesting twist on the legend of the headless horseman.
Conclusion:
If you can handle gruesome, go for it. There’s even some fun to be had in this bloody tale.
It’s one of the creepiest books I’ve heard in a long time, yet it was very, very compelling.
