Nothing much happens in a sleepy little town like mine. At least that is what I think until one night everything changes. People are disappearing at an alarming rate, but even more disturbing is how they end up on my table. I'm a coroner and no stranger to death, but even I wasn't ready for the twisted game this killer plays. It turns personal when I awake to a gift and a note that says. He who wins a thousand common hearts is therefore entitled to some renown, but he who keeps undisputed sway over the heart of a coquette is indeed a hero. I know the Washington Irving quote well. Sleepy Hallow is one of my favorite stories, or it was until real life and fiction began to blur. Now, I don't know what is real anymore. Headless Hollow by Brooklyn Cross was published on October 31st, 2024.
So I found some videos about this book on booktok and thought, "This is a good Halloween theme book." So I thought I give it a try and I am so glad that I gave it a shot. This book had me in a choke-hold through the whole book. I absolutely loved the FMC in this book and how she reminded me a lot of Bones. Though, I felt like for a short novella that the plot was a little slow in the start in some spots. Though, the first chapter will cause you to gasp and perhaps laugh a bit. I absolutely think this book could have been a full fledged novel with more twists and turns. Also the ending of the book is a twist and I had a feeling there was going to be a twist at the end. It just felt hanging which I wish I could had more then the hanging at the end. I really enjoyed this book until that point. I highly recommend checking it out.
