Having read many of Christina Henry’s novels, it thrills me to say that Horseman is my favourite of her works so far! This book gripped me from start to end and with each page, a new piece of the story came together and the many mysteries of the Headless Horseman and Sleepy Hollow itself all come together in a chilling finale. Ben is such an interesting character to read as he really changes and develops throughout the book and even then, there’s still a mystery around some elements of his character that make him so fascinating to follow. In my eye, Horseman is everything you could want from a Christina Henry novel: a story with constant twists, intriguing characters, a haunting setting, thrilling horror, plenty of blood and an excellent retelling of a classic tale!
