Hollow

by Karina Halle

Review

I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not familiar with the original tale of Sleepy Hollow or The Headless Horseman, so I can’t speak to how closely this reimagining follows the source material—but I have a feeling it’s quite a departure. What I found instead was a darkly seductive story that leans heavily into lust, temptation, and the messy consequences of giving in to desires that are usually kept tucked away in the corners of our minds. It’s a bold twist on a classic legend, turning it into something equal parts witchy, steamy, and mysterious.

This book doesn’t shy away from spice, but it balances the heat with an undercurrent of secrets and intrigue. The witch-filled setting adds a layer of atmosphere that feels both magical and dangerous, while the mystery of who’s really pulling the strings keeps you turning the pages. By the end, I was left wondering whether Book 2 will continue unraveling the lives of these characters or take us in a whole new direction. Either way, I’m curious enough to follow where the author leads next.
