Main Characters: Abbey and Caspian Crane(Vander)

Summary:

When Abbey’s best friend, Kristen, vanishes at the bridge near Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, everyone else is all too quick to accept that Kristen is dead… and rumors fly that her death was no accident. Abbey goes through the motions of mourning her best friend, but privately, she refuses to believe that Kristen is really gone. Then she meets Caspian, the gorgeous and mysterious boy who shows up out of nowhere at Kristen’s funeral, and keeps reappearing in Abbey’s life. Caspian clearly has secrets of his own, but he’s the only person who makes Abbey feel normal again… but also special.

Just when Abbey starts to feel that she might survive all this, she learns a secret that makes her question everything she thought she knew about her best friend. How could Kristen have kept silent about so much? And could this secret have led to her death? As Abbey struggles to understand Kristen’s betrayal, she uncovers a frightening truth that nearly unravels her—one that will challenge her emerging love for Caspian, as well as her own sanity.

Jenny’s Thoughts:

To start, I’d like to say anyone who doesn’t like this book, while I may value every individual’s opinion, I can still think you’re crazy all I want. This book is amazing. I have to say I predicted the ending a little bit in advance but nonetheless it was a really good read. I could put it down but after a while it itched at me if I wasn’t reading it.

The connection Caspian and Abbey have is authentic and genuine. Not to mention, come on, he’s got to be hot. Ha ha. The characters are well rounded, from Katy and Nikolas to Kristen, Abbey’s late best friend. Something else I found very unique and shocking about it is Abbey’s hobby (which I won’t tell the name of in case some of you haven’t read it yet). I’ve read a ton of books, and yet I’ve never come across one with that particular avocation.

In my personal opinion it is a little disappointing that Caspian is a ghost but I think it’s incredibly sweet that he decided to show himself to Kristen when he knew she was in so much pain. He knew she needed a friend. Hopefully in the books to come they can find a way to be together. That would be absolutely amazing. But I am happy with the interaction between them even being separated by life and death.
