"May I present the Last Descendant of Ichabod Crane..."

JASON CRANE just turned seventeen years old.

He's a STAR WARS fan and a history geek. He doesn't believe in ghosts or the afterlife. He doesn't believe in psychic powers or tarot cards. He doesn't believe in the HEADLESS HORSEMAN.

But SLEEPY HOLLOW will change all that. Because Jason Crane has a heritage to claim. Jason Crane has a Gift to discover. And Jason Crane has an old enemy who will RISE HEADLESS AND RIDE.

***********************************************************************************

For the month of October, I decided to create a Halloween TBR List. I went searching for authors who wrote paranormal or horror stories. I came across Richard Gleaves and thought that ‘Sleepy Hollow: Rise Headless and Ride’ would be a great addition to my list.

Ehh… I don’t know. I mean, I did like it but it was a bit different than what I was expecting.

Which isn’t a bad thing.

I did read book 1 and 2 in the series because it was interesting enough to keep me entertained. But I will be honest there were some parts that I ended up skipping over. I did not think they were that essential to the overall plot. In fact, it made the second book much longer than it needed to be. Well, in my opinion.

There is a third book to the series that I will be reading as well. Like I said, at times it could be a bit boring but the plot is interesting enough that I do want to at least read the third one. So overall, I would give the book 3 stars.

Sleepy Hollow: Bridge of Bones Volume 2

The HEADLESS HORSEMAN has risen and rides. JASON CRANE is the Horseman's target. But Jason must stay and fight, to protect those he loves. For Sleepy Hollow is falling to evil. Now Jason Crane lives under a tyrannical guardian. Jason Crane must descend into fearful darkness. And Jason Crane has an appointment with death... at the BRIDGE OF BONES. This exciting sequel to 2013's "Rise Headless and Ride" brings back Jason Crane, descendant of Ichabod of the Legend of Sleepy Hollow -- as well as his friends Joey, Kate, and Zef -- to face off against the ancient evil of the Van Brunt family. Impeccably researched, with an epic scope and a huge cast of characters, Bridge of Bones brings the weird gothic world of Sleepy Hollow to vibrant life in a way not seen since Irving's original: with fidelity to the real modern town and its history. Bridge of Bones is an imaginative tour de force spanning centuries, and a Halloween treat not to be missed.
