The Haunted by Jessica Verday. A review by Hannah Ainsworth

The Haunted is the sequel to The Hollow. This book continues with the main character Abbey after she returns from her stay with her Aunt Marjorie. She had been away for a while, whilst trying to forget the hallucinations she was supposedly having. The most interesting part of this book is when Abbey goes to work for her Uncle at an ice cream shop. She works behind the counter with a girl from school named Aubra. One night Aubra’s boyfriend, Vincent, comes into the shop; they must have had an argument as Abbey could hear shouting. One night when Abbey got back from the shop she went up to her room and found rose petals on her bed. She thought it would be Caspian, but no, it was Vincent. He trashed her room and threw her around the room. Caspian came charging into the room but he was to late, Vincent had taken her.This shocks me as the book, like the hollow, leaves it as a cliff hanger. I hope there is going to be another book because I want to read what is about to happen to Abbey.


I find Vincent very interesting because the way he acts is quite scary. He scares me even though I know he is just a character from a book. At the end of the book it mentions that Vincent is the same as Caspian in many ways except everyone can see Vincent. They are mortal enemies.
