The Haunted (Hollow Trilogy Series #2)

Nice sequel

I loved The Hollow--So when I got The Haunted; after months of wait, I was extremely excited. The Hollow was such a beautiful book; but while I enjoyed The Haunted, I found it to be a little unsatisfying.
The ending leaves you a little disappointed, but I suppose that's a good thing; so that you can be excited for the next and final book in the trilogy.
I would suggest this book to readers who like the 'paranormal'. It isn't scary one bit, but it is different; and I love its lack of vampires/werewolves/faeries.

Synopsis....since there isn't one yet

After a summer spent reclaiming her sanity and trying to forget the boy she fell in love with by the bridge where her best friend drowned - the boy who must not exist, cannot exist, because she knows that he is dead - Abbey returns to Sleepy Hollow, determined to leave the ghosts of her past behind. She throws herself into schoolwork, perfume-making and her friendship with Ben, her cute and funny lab partner, who just might be able to help her get over Caspian once and for all. But Abbey is never going to truly be able to move on from Caspian and Caspian has no choice but to return to her side: for Caspian is a Shade and Abbey is his destiny. The two are tied not only to each other, but also to the town of Sleepy Hollow and the famous legend that binds their fates - a legend whose true ending and dark truths they are only just beginning to guess...

Loving it.

Everyone else who has written a reveiw hasn't given the book a fair chance. It was excellent, and everything i'd been waiting for over the last few months. The ending made me scream but that just adds more exitment for the next book.

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.

Havent read.

Can someone tell me how adictive "the hollow" is? I read the first one an loved it!

Amazing

Amazing I love it

AWESOME

This was so good it got me in truble on my vation cause I was spending more tiem readign it then vactionign with my family!

Addictive.

This is only the second series I've read and I LOVED IT. I hate that there are only three books. I find it difficult to pull myself away from these stories. I see through the character's eyes and feel thier emotions. GREAT read. It tops my other fave "a series of unfortunate events" by Lemony Snicket.

Sci fi fan

Abbey easily lost her sanity in the end but who could keep it after such a shocking discovery that the guy u love is a shade, def better than the 1 but author still told about unimportant things. But vincent was a great idea of characters, i knew he killed kristen but i did not know why. Casey and uri were good ideas also

must read

the second in the series, i know you are hooked and you will not want to put it down either. enjoy the ride because it is fast and exciting. i know i did and just think it is considered a YA book. more adults need to look in this section, great books and authors!!!

Wonderful

This is just as the previous book thrilling and overpowering it just captured my heart and i just cant wait to read the last book

First book sucked, second one was amazing!

After finishing the first book i was highly unimpressed but when the second on came out i was told by a friend multiple times that i must read it, not only that but i will usually always continue reading a series i don't particularly like just incase it gets better. This book was an example of a series where the second book got a whole lot better. I couldn't put the book down, i am pretty sure i stayed up all night reading the book the day i got it and finished it before school the next morning. Needless to say, this book was definitely worth the read.

so awesome youll wish you readit from before

Kept me reading all day long !!!!!!!!!!!! such an awesome book i cant wait to get my get my hands on The Hidden. I wonder if abbey will make the choice to be with caspian or to live?

A must read if you already read The Hollow!

What can I say?
I loved the first books and I love this sequel more. It left me speechless with so many unanswered questions :s. Is Abbey going to live until November 1st? Are the other revenants going to save her and Caspian? What more damages can Vincent do? Is she going to die eventually? Ayayay... this book left me with no clue on what's going to happen next and I'm frightened by the path the storyline took.
A must read!
I can't wait until The Hidden is out :)

Series keeps getting better

*** 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!

U HAVE TO GET IT!

i absolutely loved it!!!!!!! it was beautiful and tragic a well just amazing! it started really slow though.. it didn't get interesting until like page 100. i luv how the story progressed and the relationship between Caspian and Abby blossomed. I am totally in luv with Caspian! He is the perfect hero! U should read them all!!
