Blurb:
Where desire collides with darkness, every secret bleeds, and love is the most dangerous weapon of all.
Winter in Sleepy Hollow grows colder—and deadlier. As Detective Stephen Carver investigates a string of mutilated corpses marked by satanic symbols, his search draws him closer to a hidden truth that could unravel the very soul of the Hollow. The deeper he digs, the more he feels the malignant pull of something ancient, something that feeds on fear and sacrifice.
Meanwhile, Lori Francon awakens to a new nightmare. Poisoned by betrayal and hunted by the shadows of her own family, she discovers that the house she once called home is a cathedral of corruption, its foundations bound to demons and blood rites. What waits for her inside is more than madness—it is a revelation that could damn her bloodline forever.
And Marc Saduj, hollowed by fever and haunted by the demon scar carved into his flesh, finds himself drawn back to the village streets. But with every step, the Man in Black’s grip tightens, dragging Marc closer to a possession that could unleash hell on earth.
As the walls close in, old bargains resurface, new devils arrive to claim their due, and the line between the living and the damned dissolves. With the Francon legacy steeped in sacrilege and Sleepy Hollow itself trembling on the edge of chaos, Lori must face a question more terrifying than death itself:
When love is twisted into a curse, can it still be the key to salvation—or will it open the gates to eternal ruin?
Gothic, brutal, and mesmerizing, The Sleepy Hollow Incident: Book Three plunges deeper into a world of forbidden love, demonic possession, and cosmic horror. For fans of The Witching Hour and The Haunting of Hill House, this installment will leave you breathless, broken, and begging for more.
My Review:
Lori is still trying to reach Marc to save him and to try and stop what is coming. Lori goes to Marc’s apartment looking for him. Marc is not at home, but what she finds there is something very sinister and creepy and shockingly unbelievable. I was so afraid for Lori when she was at Marc’s apartment. Oh, man, the things she witnessed there were gross, scary, and dangerous, or could become dangerous.
Lori wants to help Marc and stop them from opening a gate to the underworld that would allow demons to cross over, causing havoc in the world. If the portal is opened, demons would cross over, taking over the world and humans. Their lives would forever be changed, never to be the same again. Lori has no intention of letting this happen ever.
The Sleepy Hollow Incident is a dark and scary world with many characters whose eyes we get to see the story through so we get to see more of the story and what is going on in other parts of the world as the demons prepare to make their way across the realms.
Carver is investigating several mysterious deaths in the area. What is going on? Who is committing all these deaths and why? Carver’s investigation is leading him to one person as the main suspect in the case. Carver is stumped and is not sure what to expect next.
The Sleepy Hollow Incident is one dark and eerie story that is sure to keep your attention from the first page until the last without a dull moment in between. Demons are trying to make their way into the human realm to take over. Can Lori stop them in time before it is too late? What about Marc? Can she save him as well? Can Marc and Lori ever repair their relationship?
The Sleepy Hollow Incident brought out several different emotions in me, like anger, sadness, fear, and shock, just to name a few. I kept picturing the world through a dark fog that surrounds the land day and night. I was reminded of several different TV or movies like Stranger Things, Dark Shadows, and movies like The Mist or The Fog, or It, with a mist floating over the land.
I am eagerly awaiting the next installment in The Sleepy Hollow Incident to see what shocking events is on the agenda. I highly recommend grabbing a copy of The Sleepy Hollow Incident Book Three today for another great horror adventure!
