I received a free arc from Netgalley in exchange for my unbiased review.
I didn't like it! Which makes me very sad as I love the Sleepy Hollow legend. But I just could not enjoy this novel.
I couldn't stand Katrina and how manipulative she was. She reminded me of every girl in high school who "had to have a boyfriend" to feel important. But I also didn't like how she felt sorry for herself when the consequences of followed her actions. What did she expect was going to happen?
While I didn't mind the love scenes, there was just no connection for me. I didn't feel anything except exasperation that Ichabod fell into (in my honest opinion) Katrina's trap. I don't know if it's a sign in getting older , but sometimes common sense seems to be missing in too many stories involving love. It makes it close to impossible to enjoy.
Also, there's no magic! So why have workbook in the title? In the legend, there is the implication of magic, and (to be fair) there is second sight/visions in the novel. But I honestly expected more. Second sight and visions are nice, but where are the curses?
Sad to say that I have rate this 1 out of 5 stars
