The Spellbook of Katrina van Tassel
by Alyssa
Palombo
After reading or listening to the timeless tale of
the Headless Horseman, has it ever left you wondering what happened to everyone
after the storied events?
Palombo’s telling gives us the female point of
view through the eyes of Katrina van Tassel.
Filling in the blanks with details of events leading up to the eventful
night and follows through with a story that I enjoyed. I’m not sure where the spellbook fits in but
the expanded story is not rushed and is filled with details of Katrina’s life
after that storied night of horror and rumor.
Perhaps the spellbook is the journal where Katrina writes down the tales
of the village and her own story with Ichabod.
The love triangle of Ichabod, Brom and Katrina will hook romance readers
from the beginning but the after story is what gives this book its meat. Giving
us an in-depth look at true friendship and how it can carry you through the
worst that life can throw in front of you.
The book will be a popular one with older, mature teens and the New
Adult readers. Though the story of the
Headless Horseman is one of America’s oldest horror stories, this one will dig
further to reveal the reality and horror of human nature and the strength of
family and friends.
