For some reason, the Legend of Sleepy Hallow is one that has always spooked me.  It doe snot matter if I am watching a Disney version or reading the original story, they all spook me.  This is odd, because I love horror and ghost type stories.  When I saw this book, I knew I had to read it.  I enjoy Ranae's shifter series and love Sleepy Hallow, so I figured it would be a good fit.  I should add that I read the prequel Whiskey Dreams, first.  I think this is important to add because I really think having that having read that short prequel first made this book so much "more".  I am not sure I would have bought into one of the key scenes had I not read it first.To me, this story really had two main components.  The first one and the one that drew me to it, was the retelling of the Legend of Sleepy Hallow.  I found the way this story was woven to be beyond interesting.  I have read more Sleepy Hallow versions than I can remember and this one still surprised me.  The second main component was the relationship(s) between the three main characters in a time period that was very different from our own.  Ranae did a really nice job with this.  This is where I think reading Whiskey Dreams first really made this story better.  It made some of the things seem natural and not, "What?!?!?!  Where did that come from?"This story is not for every one.  It does have some non traditional relationships that may be not your cup of tea.  I am looking forward to what Rane writes next.  This book made me an official fan.
