The Haunted (The Hollow, Book 2) by Jessica Verday


The Haunted isn't nearly as good as, The Hollow (the first book in the series) but it is in the middle of a trilogy so it is to be expected.

I do love the built in legend of Sleepy Hallow and the reappearance of those characters. Abby, the main character is a bit more dramatic in this book but still like able.

There is a cliffhanger ending and I can't wait for the last book.


Grade: B -


Synopsis [B&N]

An impossible truth. An impossible love.


After a summer spent reclaiming her sanity and trying to forget the boy she fell in love with--the boy who must not exist, cannot exist, because she knows that he is dead--Abbey returns to Sleepy Hollow, ready to leave the ghosts of her past behind. She throws herself into her schoolwork, her perfume-making, and her friendship with Ben, her cute and funny lab partner, who just might be her ticket to getting over Caspian once and for all.

But Abbey can never get over Caspian, and Caspian has no choice but to return to her side, for Caspian is a Shade, and Abbey is his destiny. They are tied not only to each other, but also to the town of Sleepy Hollow, and to the famous legend that binds their fates--a legend whose dark truths they are only beginning to guess....
