This is a very interesting take on Washington Irving's The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. They both tell the story of The Headless Horseman, who is the ghost of a Hessian soldier who was decapitated by cannon fire during the Revolutionary War. In Dax Varley's version, Ichabod Crane is a sexy young school teacher who is hired to fill a vacancy when the previous school teacher is beheaded by the Headless Horseman. Katrina is determined to save Ichabod's life when he is marked by the Horseman to be his next victim. Katrina has already lost childhood friends to the Horseman, and she's determined to figure out how to stop him before that can happen to Ichabod.

I enjoyed this book very much. It was a very quick read, well written and interesting. Some characters were more fleshed out than others, but the story had a lot more going for it than against it. It definitely kept my attention and I'm looking forward to reading book 2 to see what happens next!

5/5 stars.

Take this as the compliment it is: This book reminded me of one of those Disney movies about teen witches that they show all October long. (Note to self: Set DVR.) It was light and fun and in the end things worked out great.

Cam works after school in her grandmother Mimi's magic store. It's got everything the new age witch needs and everything that new age witch needs to sell to tourists in order to make money. There's real magic there, sure, but it's surrounded by glitz and glamour. Cam finds a spell, a real spell, for ultimate power, and decides it's what she must do in order to maintain her 3.9 GPA and get past that pesky class on Shakespeare she dislikes so much. Her best friend Reade is in it for the love, because all the other love spells she's tried on the handsome and angry Troy just aren't working. And Zach is in it just because. Just because of the power and the challenge or just because he really wants to spend time with Cam.

There's a ferret named Four, a kitten named Egg Salad, locker shenanigans, graveyard capers, a grandmother's boyfriend, and a very bad man who is going to try to take everything Cam and her friends worked so hard for.

Juniper starts out scrying to find her best friend's lost retainer and ends up having visions of a girl who badly needs her help.

I've said before that Dax Varley's novellas remind me of those movies that air on the Disney Channel mid-day every October. The ones where teen girls with magic are matter-of-fact and where cute kids have adorable adventures and save the day. Lost Girl is no different. It's light and fun and I'm glad I read it.
