In [[The Hollow by Jessica Verday|The Hollow]], Abbey tried to cope with the
disappearance of her best friend and her feelings for new boyfriend Caspian - only to find herself losing her grip on sanity when she discovered Caspian was dead, a Shade, rather than another real person. After a summer away from Sleepy Hollow, she returns, trying to concentrate on making perfumes and getting science tuition from nice cute Ben - but then Caspian reappears. Will the two find true love? Why are there so many other weird strangers around Sleepy Hollow who Abbey keeps meeting? What exactly DID happen to Kristen? Where do Katrina Van Tassel and Nikolas, the famous Headless Horseman of Sleepy Hollow, fit into all this? And does anyone who missed the first book have any hope of following what's going on?
A major warning, however - the ending is incredibly abrupt. It's exciting and is going really well - but it stops at a point which had me wondering if the 450 or so pages in my copy weren't actually the full novel! Still, it does a great job in building anticipation for the third book; my only issue is whether I'll have any fingernails left by the time that one arrives.
Massive, massive recommendation from me as being one of the most unputdownable books I've read for a long long time - I started Saturday evening and had finished by Sunday lunchtime, pretty much just taking a break for sleep! We also have a review of [[The Hollow: The Hidden by Jessica Verday|book three]].
Further reading recommendation: For another intense supernatural romance, you really can't go wrong with [[Beautiful Creatures by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl]].
