About this book

- [x]

Katrina Van Tassel doesn’t believe in ghosts, witches or the occult. And she certainly doesn’t believe in the tale of the Headless Horseman. So, when she moves back to Sleepy Hollow following her mother’s death, and the townspeople start turning up without their heads, she thinks there must be a logical explanation for it all.

It’s not long before Ichabod Crane, the dark and brooding music professor, is accused of being involved in the grisly crimes.

With the small town getting more dangerous by the minute, can he convince Katrina of what’s really happening? And can he do it before it’s too late?

The perfect spooky, weekend read

Hollow Secrets by Tamsin St. James pulled me in from the very first page and didn’t let go until the final sentence. It’s one of those books that keeps you reading late into the night, telling yourself “just one more chapter,” even though you know you’re lying. The story blends mystery, romance, and psychological suspense beautifully. The characters feel so real—flawed, vulnerable, and deeply human—and the secrets they keep unravel in such a chilling, heartbreaking way. St. James has a gift for...

Great spooky season retelling!

October 5, 2025

Tamsin St. James's reimagining of Sleepy Hollow is a fantastic way to get back into the spooky season mood! This book had me completely hooked, and I finished it in two sittings (it would've been one if I wasn't fighting my eyelids against sleep). The way Tamsin describes the Van Tassel estate and the fog-drenched town of Sleepy Hollow gives such a gorgeous picture of the Gothic romance that surrounds this novel. The blips of spice in this book are great and don't overrun the story - they're...
