An infamous
love, destined nevermore,
For death could not claim, the enchanting Lenore.
For death could not claim, the enchanting Lenore.
Cursed by the malevolent spirit
of the Headless Horseman, Ireland Crane ventures to Manhattan in search of a
way to break her soul crushing bond. Instead, she discovers the lines between
fact and fiction are blurring once more. Croaking ravens. Telltale hearts.
Could the works of Poe be coming to pass with handsome Wall Street Midas Ridley
Peolte as their unwilling target?
She walks the Earth, a plague on
mankind,
searching for he, her rotted heart
doth pine.
Together, the two unknowingly
release a dark force death itself could not tame. Surrounded by the unrelenting
violence and mayhem they’ve unleashed, Ireland feels her control over the
Horseman slipping. Before the beast within consumes her, she and her crew must
follow the clues of the dead to right a centuries’ old wrong. Will it be enough
to sate the Horseman’s appetite?
Hell hath no fury like a ghoul
scorned.
~~I received this in exchange for an honest review~~
Have you ever read a book that threw you back in time to a place where Edgar Allen Poe, was only known as Edgar Allen? Or have you ever wondered why Edger Allen Poe was crazy or wrote the way he did? Well, this book gives us an insight on why he was the way he was. We look into his life, and his love for Lenore. We start off where we leave off in the first book Crane (if you haven't read that book, stop right now and go and get it!). Ireland is once again switching from herself to the Horseman. With the help of Rip Van Winkle, Noah Van Tassel and Ridley (who we meet in this book) She will try to come to terms with what she is. BUT there are things their new found friend (Ridley) is hiding. He is also a very important key that Ireland is going to need. Can she keep the Horseman at bay? Can she keep from killing more people? Will Noah leave her?
Stacey is a master at looking at stories that we grew up hearing and turning them into something that is much more grownup than the stories that we have heard in the past. This time she takes on Edgar Allen Poe. We see what happened to him as a baby, all the way up until he is a man. She dives deep into the psychosis of his brain and why he writes about the dark and the death that he sees.
I couldn't put this book down! I love the way that Stacey writes! She writes like she was witness to every thing that happened. It is detailed and makes you believe that you are where they are fighting with the demons that live within them. Get this book now!!!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
There is nothing
worse than being put on the spot and asked to talk about yourself. For me it
brings back that inevitable moment in a new school when the teacher would ask
me to stand up, introduce myself and tell the class something about myself. I
was always worried I would blurt out something stupid that I would get teased
for. Something like, “My name’s Stacey and I like pickles!” Then for the rest
of the school year I’d be known as the Pickle Girl and let’s be honest, no one
wants that. So to avoid such a faux pas I will simply say that I love to write.
It allows me to get my crazy out just enough that I can function as a normal
member of society.
