This is a very interesting take on Washington Irving's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. They both tell the story of The Headless Horseman, who is the ghost of a Hessian soldier who was decapitated by cannon fire during the Revolutionary War. In Dax Varley's version, Ichabod Crane is a sexy young school teacher who is hired to fill a vacancy when the previous school teacher is beheaded by the Headless Horseman. Katrina is determined to save Ichabod's life when he is marked by the Horseman to be his next victim. Katrina has already lost childhood friends to the Horseman, and she's determined to figure out how to stop him before that can happen to Ichabod.

I enjoyed this book very much. It was a very quick read, well written and interesting. Some characters were more fleshed out than others, but the story had a lot more going for it than against it. It definitely kept my attention and I'm looking forward to reading book 2 to see what happens next!

5/5 stars.

When I first got this, I was super excited about the book. But unfortunately, I'm no longer interested in reading it at this point and I don't want to hold onto it any longer.
