Blurb:


Where dark romance meets supernatural terror, a love story becomes a battle for salvation.

In a small town shrouded in shadows, a sinister alliance between love and darkness is forged. Winter, 1997. Marc Saduj, a romance writer, watches his beloved Lori Francon slip away after a car crash. Desperate to save her, he makes a deal with the mysterious Man in Black - his soul in exchange for her life. But as Lori miraculously recovers and returns to Long Island, Marc retreats to a foreboding mansion in Sleepy Hollow's western woods.

As mutilated bodies start appearing in town, Detective Stephen Carver follows a trail of medieval torture and satanic worship, all leading to Marc. But the truth is far more terrifying than anyone could imagine. When Lori discovers Marc's notebook detailing the murders, she rushes back to save him, only to find herself at the center of an ancient evil's resurgence. The Man in Black is no ordinary demon, and Marc's bargain has set in motion a chain of events that could unleash hell on earth.

As a celestial portal threatens to open and Marc's possession deepens, Lori must face the ultimate question - when someone sells their soul to save your life, what are you willing to sacrifice to save theirs?

Gothic in its atmospheric dread, romantic in its core relationship, horrific in its supernatural violence, and fantastical in its cosmic mythology, The Sleepy Hollow Incident is a chilling four-book gothic horror series that weaves together forbidden love, ancient evil, and the price of salvation. Award-winning author PD Alleva creates a dark saga where love is both weapon and sacrifice, and the boundary between devotion and damnation dissolves like mist in moonlight.

With its spine-tingling suspense and haunting atmosphere, this book is perfect for fans of "The Haunting of Hill House" and "The Witching Hour". Don't miss out on this chilling tale!

My Review:

I was immediately engrossed in the dark and unsettling tale of The Sleepy Hollow Incident Book One. I was drawn into the horrifying events on the first page.

The Sleepy Hollow Incident Book One begins with a body, sliced from end to end, resting on a bed in a hotel room. What a gory scene! I can picture it all in all its glorious, horrifying glory because the words are so well worded.

In The Sleepy Hollow Incident Book One, they are involved in a horrific accident that puts both in the ICU. Marc wakes up first, while Lori remains in a coma, in critical condition. Lori’s mother, Elena, won’t allow Marc to visit, but the determined man slips into her room while her mother is away. Marc enters a dark world when he learns that Lori may not survive. He makes a deal with a dark man, offering his life for Lori’s.

I was unable to put the book down because of the overwhelming suspense. As I hurried to the end of The Sleepy Hollow Incident Book One, I was captivated and eager to see what would happen next. What a terrible tale!

I am eager to see what occurs in Book Two of The Sleepy Hollow Incident!
