When the three Von Tassel sisters wind up in a deal with the Headless Horseman they have just days to break the curse on their ghostly great aunts and their true-loves... and find their own!Man, I really wanted to like this one. Growing up my mom was married into the family that had an ancestor who was rumored to be the inspiration for Ichabod Crane so I grew up always having a soft spot for the tale of Sleepy Hollow. Alas, as much as I've enjoyed other work from all three authors I thought this anthology was just way too ambitious. Each story attempted to feel well connected and perhaps it's just me being a nitpick but I felt it failed spectacularly at doing that. Individually each tale had some good points but I had more than one what-the-eff moments reading them too.The highlight was that I really liked Lario's couple, Brianna and Jason, and their story was pretty cute and believable-ish. As much as I wanted to give it a better rating for that one alone I just didn't like the other two stories and the overall attempt to squish six true-loves into five days thing made it all feel rushed and silly. It was definitely not for me and I am a huge fan of retellings too.If you like short and funny romances with a paranormal twist this is worth looking into. If you have no patience for a bunch of plot crammed into a short timeline you might want to skip this in favor of these authors' other work.Notes: ARC received via NetGalley.
