I enjoyed this book, I thought that this was a really good reimagining of the classic short storySleeping Hollow. Loved the paranormal aspects in this story. I liked Kat and Isadora's story/relationship, but I found myself enjoying Katrina's more.
I felt like the writing/story was stronger when it was about Katrina and felt less clunky. When it was about Kat and Isadora it felt like the writing (especially the dialogue) didn't always fit the time period. (There's a dual timeline in this story; Katrina's in the 1800s and Kat's in the present.)
Fun ghost story and LGBT+ romance.
