Nikolas is my favourite character, and the cemetery setting is amazing – hopefully it’ll inspire more tourism. Also easy is Abbey chancing upon a yearbook. The paranormal clues are rather obvious, though – note what Caspian says his surname is, and the first name of the elderly woman. Had it not been marketed as paranormal romance, and had the setting not been Sleepy Hollow, for the most part this could’ve been straight YA, about coming to terms with Kristen’s death, and Abbey’s sanity really would be a question. Luckily, she discovers Kristen’s secret diary… Her best friend Abbey Browning is not convinced, but only sets about looking into her BFF’s past when Abbey’s new boyfriend (maybe) Caspian suggests so. Rumour in Sleepy Hollow has it that Kristen Maxwell’s death was a suicide.
