Review: The Hidden

Abbey's still trying to unravel the truth about her future. She knows that she's linked forever to Caspian. He's the perfect guy for her. She knows that her death will be sooner rather than later, but she has SO many questions she wants answered.

As she goes through the motions of life, she finds Caspian acting strange. There are times when he can't pick anything up. There are times when he falls asleep and she can't wake him up.

Could something or someone be trying to stop their happily forever after???

My Thoughts: This wasn't the ending I expected for the series, but after reading and digesting it, I think it's the ONLY one that works. There's a part that I really wanted to happen, but didn't, and that makes me sad. That being said, I adored this trilogy. It's chilling, engrossing, and full of emotion. I loved trying to figure out all the mysteries surrounding Abbey and Caspian. I loved their romance. I loved how they waited for November 1st and what it meant to them. I can't wait to see what Jessica Verday comes up with next!

Cover Thoughts: Perfect and so meaningful.

Review: The Haunted

*Spoilers: If you haven't read The Hollow, don't read this review*

Abbey's recovering from her broken heart and nervous breakdown after learning the truth about Caspian. She relocates to her aunt's house, but is called back to Sleepy Hollow for a bridge dedication she must deliver in her dead BFF's honor.

Abbey isn't sure she can handle everything, especially when she sees Caspian for the first time. It's a relief to know she's not crazy. Soon, she's spending her summer scooping ice cream, studying science with Ben so she passes Chemistry, and hanging out with Caspian.

There's one moment where she thinks funny and sweet Ben could become something more than just a friend. Is he interested in her? It doesn't really matter because she can't stopping thinking about Caspian. Is she falling in love with a ghost? Could her destiny involve a dangerous life turn?

My Thoughts: I really loved this dark tale with humor, heartbreak, and a undeniable love between two people. It continues with the first book perfectly and I can't wait to read the conclusion with The Hidden. I love reading about the perfume. As Abbey unravels more and more about Caspian, she unravels more about her own future. I love watching her world change and be entwined in the Sleepy Hollow Legend. I absolutely LOVE hearing about the plans for her store. It sounds absolutely perfect to me.

Cover Thoughts: I love it - it's dark and mysteries and ties in well with the book.
