I watched out and touched the casket lid. It was cold. So cold that I immediately snatched my hand away. It almost felt like it had burned me.
I just stood there. I couldn't bring myself to say anything... not out loud, at least. But a thousand thoughts raged inside my head, while a thousand feelings raged inside my heart.
The weather mimicked my emotions. A fierce wind rattled by, howling in outrage. The edges of the plastic awning flapped angrily against the aluminum poles holding it up and made a horrible ringing sound. Even the rain pounded harder, lashing out its bitterness.
And that was when I felt someone watching me.
My Thoughts
The book was there on the shelf with a facing display and a the girl with Gothic makeup caught my attention. She looked at me, and somehow, I saw my own reflection. Then, I read the book title; The Hollow. This picked my curiosity so I took it from the shelf and started to read. It was something about a romance in the town of Sleepy Hollow and that was enough. Seconds later, I was running with the book in my hands toward the cash line.
This is how I first met The Hollow by Jessica Verday. This is a enchanted, mysterious and lugubrious story behind a beautiful romance and one of my most beloved characters ever, Caspian. He is the reason I kept reading with an accelerated heart beat. The Hollow is a story that really captivated me. I know there are some mixed reviews about it, but from my point of view, It is a really good book and I enjoyed entirely! It engrossed me in such a way that I remember going back to the bookstore to purchase the second book right after I finished the last page. I couldn't wait any longer. That's why I went back to the shelves just a day after buying this book. Jessica Verday created a whole new story that intertwines with the legend of Sleepy Hollow. How could I not love it! The aesthetics of the setting and the fine descriptions gives me chills and makes my sigh during the whole read. There is so much beauty in this gloomy landscape, I just couldn't put it down.
Here we have a book with murderer, mystery, danger, chills, peculiar and lovable characters, chemistry, an intelligent heroine and a swoon worthy boy. If you like young adult paranormal romance, then The Hollow by Jessica Verday is definitely your book!

I thought The Hollow was okay but the second book in the series really gets better. Hope you're enjoying Eyes Like Stars.

Nice to meet you Sherre!
The Hollow by Jessica Verday has a lot of mixed reviews. I was surprise to read reviews from people who really disliked the book and some others who just loved it like. However, The Haunted (The Hollow#2)gets so much better! Even people who didn't really like much THe Hollow and read The Haunted were very engrossed with the prequel.
SO Im not sure you will like The Hollow a 100%, but if you keep reading you will fall for it. That Im sure about!
OMG. Sleepy Hollow! Why hadn't I seen this before? I totally love the Lengend of Sleepy Hollow. I will definitely give this book a try, even with the mixed reviews.
you absolutely should! the send books gets even better!!! and The last one... crap! I loved it! but it was hard to turn the last page. The review will be up tomorrow =D
