An impossible truth. An impossible love.

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. She throws herself into her schoolwork, her perfume-making, and her friendship with Ben, her cute and funny lab partner, who just might be her ticket to getting over Caspian once and for all.

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 dark truths they are only beginning to guess....

“Spectacular! The Hollow keeps you reading from beginning to end without coming up for air.” --L.J. Smith, bestselling author of The Vampire Diaries and Night World

Product description

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

*** 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!

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.

Source: Received from publicist. Many thanks goes to Loretta from Simon & Schuster for sending me this book for review. This book was received free of charge in exchange for an honest review.
My Rating: 4/5

The Haunted opens up with Abbey heading back home to Sleepy Hollow. She is still dealing with her friend Kristen's death, and her relationship with Caspian. She is back to her perfume making and is trying to figure out what exactly is going on with Caspian, and herself.
Abbey is a more formidable character in this installment, she is learning more about herself, and also seems more sure of herself. In my review of The Hollow, I stated that I hoped that she would grow more of a backbone, and she seems to have definitely evolved from that person into a newer, stronger, more resilient one. Caspian has also grown as a character. I really enjoyed reading about the two of them, but wish that we could have seen more of Nikolas and Katy. I think Verday has hit her stride in this installment and many questions asked in The Hollow are answered in this book. The book starts off slowly, and gains momentum, capturing the reader's interest while setting the stage for its haunting conclusion. As an avid fan of anything to do with the Legend of Sleepy Hollow, I enjoyed the paranormal element, and hope to see more of them in the final installment. I absolutely loved this book and am happy that Abbey is figuring things out.
All in all, a spectacular read. Based on this book alone, I would have to say that I would buy the full trilogy, and add it to my re-read shelf. Fans of the first book will love this installment. Those who didn't enjoy the first book should give Verday a second chance as this book was exceptional. It is slow to start, but the payoff is worth the wait.

Abbey has been desperately trying to forget Caspian, the boy she fell in love with only to discover he was already dead. Traumatised by the discovery and doubting her sanity Abbey left Sleepy Hollow for the summer, but now the summer is over and it is time for Abbey to return. At first she throws herself into her schoolwork and concentrates on her friendship with the definitely alive Ben. Then Caspian reappears in her life, and Abbey realises you can't outrun your destiny.

This is the second part of a trilogy that started with  The Hollow . I loved the first book and was blown away by this one. The plot is deeper, with a focus on whether Caspian is real or if Abbey is losing her mind because of the stress of her best friend's death. I've never seen a paranormal book focus on the sanity of the lead character like this before, and it even makes the reader begin to doubt if Caspian is real.

All my favourite characters from the first book have returned, along with a selection of new characters. Many of the questions raised in  The Hollow  but not answered are answered here, although more questions are raised and left open. Kristen's secret boyfriend is revealed, Katy and Nicholas reveal how they came to be together and the choices they had to make and a whole new dimension is added with the idea of Revenants.

Again, there are twists scattered throughout the story that I didn't see coming and I loved how Abbey and Caspian's relationship developed. The book does have a shocking cliffhanger ending that made me really anxious to get hold of the last part of their story. Without spoilers, it's an incredible ending and I can't wait to see what happens next.

All in all this was an amazing read and I'm really looking forward to the final part of the trilogy ( The Hidden ) out in September.

I would like to give this book 4 1/2 stars versus five, because I gave the first book "The Hollows" five stars and this one isn't quite as good, in my opinion. It takes up with Abby almost ready to go back to her life after living with her aunt and being under care by a doctor for her mental problems. See she is started dating this boy, but he is really dead. That can't possibly be reality, right? Oh and to add to that she met the headless horseman and his wife from the famous book. Plus she was having a hard time coping with her best friend's death.

Don't be overwhelmed by the size of this book. It is an unbelievable page turner, even when dealing with the plot set up and characterizations rather then more action based scenes. I finished the entire thing in a few hours.

Caspian is more romantic here, and we really get to see more depth to his character. The two get a little mushy, and I admit to an eye-roll or two as we almost heading into "Twilight" cheesy scenes a time or two. Still it never gets quite that bad and I actually found the romance between Caspian and Abby to be more believable...(you know, once you forget he is a ghost). I enjoyed getting to know more about Caspian's past and what he does on a daily basis since these things were pretty much off limits in the last book. Abby is one of the most enjoyable teenagers I've read about. She has a good head on her shoulders. She works and tries to keep up in school and has a hobby she wants to turn into a profession. She has friends and spends time with them. She is a good yet realistic teenage girl.

Verday does a great job not only with writing believable characters but with dealing with the subject of grief in her stories. The first book was more involved in the grief, and had some beautiful, emotional scenes as Abby deals with Kristen's death. There is still some grief in this novel. Abby mourns not only for Kristen, but for Caspian as well, for the life he will never lead.

The mystery is more prominent in "The Haunted" as we learn more about what happened to Kristen and more about Shades. There are some interesting pieces to the puzzle for us to ponder as we wait until the next book releases. I have to say this cliffhanger was more intense than the first one. This will not be an easy wait.
