Blurb:

Love is patient.
Love is kind.
Love can also be a bloody nightmare.

Parts 1 and 2 together... at last.

Part one is a modern retelling of The Headless Horseman legend with all sorts of twists and turns.
The headless horseman of lore in Drowsy Hollow WILL capture Isabella Krane.
Where will he take her and what will he do with her when he gets her there?
Oh yes. This goes there.

*Dark? Yes!
*Dirty? Filthy!
*Depraved? *insert evil laugh*

The witch who was supposed to cast the annual protection spell that keeps the legend in storybooks died. Her niece tried to make it... tried to get there in time to keep the evil contained, but she failed. So, she cast a different spell instead.

For the first time, the horseman is pursuing a female. He captures her and instead of being bloodthirsty, he's feeling a different kind of hunger.

A dark and fairy tale retelling with thriller and horror elements. A story by DD Prince, previously part of The Horror of Our Love anthology.

Warning: This tale of horror contains violence and a monster who does monstrous things. Read at your own risk

Part 2 - Holden - After The Happy Ending
Love is patient.
Love is kind.
Love can also be a bloody nightmare.
There was just one rule in their happily ever after.
She broke it.
This is a dark and gothic thriller.

Review:

( Spoilers )

Final Thought:

The book lacked the depth and emotional resonance that makes a story truly memorable. While it may be an entertaining read, it is not one that will stay with the reader long after finishing it.
