Review
"Like Twilight (Little Brown) and the Vampire Diaries (HarperTeen) series, Verday’s planned trilogy (of which The Haunted is the second installment) is characterized by its protagonists’ unrequited passions and its narrative’s gradual revelation of a second, supernatural world, the rules of which are distinct and complicated. This lengthy novel ends with a cliffhanger, as Abbey is positioned to make a choice that may or may not ensure the eternity of her relationship with Caspian; this trope will all but guarantee an audience for the trilogy’s final novel. --VOYA, October 2010
Product Description
After a summer spent reclaiming her sanity and trying to forget the boy she fell in love with—the boy who must not exist, cannot exist, because she knows that he is dead—Abbey returns to Sleepy Hollow, ready to leave the ghosts of her past behind.
But Abbey can never get over Caspian, and Caspian has no choice but to return to her side, for Caspian is a Shade, and Abbey is his destiny. They are tied not only to each other, but also to the town of Sleepy Hollow, and to the famous legend that binds their fates—a legend whose truths they are only beginning to guess....

Continues to be a great series,

This review is from: The Haunted (Hardcover)
*** Possible spoilers ***Like The Hollow, this is a pretty chunky book and long. Unlike the first book though, I found the pace of this one to be more faster, perhaps because much more happens in this plot. However, although I am glad the plot is quicker and more interesting, I'm also pleased to see her writing has not changed and is still as good as The Hollow. I love the way the story is written. The town is still quaint and descriptions are still done in nice detail. It's the writing style that really gets me into reading this book further. What's another great feature in this book is you get to piece together more about Kristen and the mystery guy she was going out with. There's also a few additions of characters into the story which adds more mystery into the plot. Vincent stands out the most because not only is he a jerk but he also has a reason why he's suddenly into the picture. Vincent also delivers a great cliffhanger in the ending which makes me just want to scream for the third book to come out right away! an evil naughty side of me thought Aubra got what she deserved. She's such a snotty little thing so I had no sympathies for her when she came with the waterworks. The chemistry between Caspian and Abbey is still there but I feel it has intensified into a whole new level. It's almost like a heart wrenching romance because they're so nice together, but yet they can't physically be together and that just adds more drama to the romance - which I absolutely love. Now that Ben is in the picture, it adds the typical love triangle (sort of) but unlike most of them where I find I like one better than the other, I like both Ben and Caspian. Ben of course, would be the better choice, as he's physically there. I am really looking forward to the final installment of this trilogy. I love the writing style, the great character development and chemistry between the main couple, and with the cliffhanger ending it's hard not to be impatient! Those that had trouble with The Hollow, keep going! this book is much better and worth the read!

This review is from: The Haunted (Hardcover)
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.

Cosmically Good Work!!,
By Nick Brass (Miami, FL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Haunted (Hardcover)
The space between life and death is explored in a book that could have stood alone yet is the second chapter of a trilogy. Fearing her grief had caused her to imagine a romance to distract from the pain of her loss, Abbey sought distance to cure her. But upon her return to Sleepy Hollow, she discovers that reality is far more compelling than her imagination. While her romantic life shows some light, there's a darkness in The Hollow that will do more than haunt our heroine.This was an excellent balance of romance, suspense, discovery and danger and no one has quite captured Sleepy Hollow this well since Washington Irving himself. Not to be missed.
