This story is marketed as a reimaging of Washington Irving's "The Legend of Sleep Hollow", taking place in the famous town. It follows Katrina, the daughter of a prominent family, as she is forced to embrace her powers and embark on a journey of self discovery as she battles the Horseman and death itself to save the town she grew up in.

The plot was cute and the writing was gothic and beautiful, painting the dark misty setting for us and providing a moody ambiance that was enjoyable. However, it only got three stars from because while it has promise, the story progressed too slowly and too little. The monster romance was a lot of burn for no payoff. I also think it could have been told in fewer words, as the novel is unnecessarily lengthy.

I would recommend this book to those who are looking to dip their toe into a YA monster romance for spooky season.
