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, though. 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? But 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?

I really loved this dark tale that included humor, heartbreak, and an undeniable love between two people. It continues with the first book, THE HOLLOW, perfectly - and I can't wait to read the conclusion with THE HIDDEN. As Abbey unravels more and more about Caspian, she also reveals more about her own future.

I love watching her world change and become entwined with the Sleepy Hollow legend.
