Shane and Aimee Lancaster have moved to the town of Sleepy Hollow with their father. When they arrive strange events start to occur. To make matters worse, there is the headless horseman who is taking the heads of the residents of Sleepy Hollow. It is up to Shane, Aimee, and their new friend Stasia to find out why the horseman has risen and what he wants. The first in the series, The Hollow: Horseman lays the ground work for the rest of the books, it introduces us to Jeckle and Hyde, two friends of Shane’s who don’t play a role in this book but are fleshed out in following books. The book and the series is well written and has many different story lines running underneath such as the constant conflict between the introverted Shane and his extroverted sister Aimee. It also hints at a romantic story line that continues through the series. The book has a little something for everyone: action, romance, mystery, and, of course, murderous creatures of the night.
The series is continued in The Hollow: Drowned and The Hollow: Mischief. Recommended read.
Contains: murders by supernatural creatures, mentions of teen drinking and drug use.
