Sleepy Hollow: Bridge of Bones

Jason Crane, Book 2

By: Richard Gleaves

Narrated by: Eric Michael Summerer

"My earliest memory is of discovering my grandfather's severed head."

The Headless Horseman has risen and rides. Jason Crane is the Horseman's target. But Jason must stay and fight, to protect those he loves. For Sleepy Hollow is falling to evil. Now Jason Crane lives under a tyrannical guardian. Jason Crane must descend into fearful darkness. And Jason Crane has an appointment with death... at the Bridge of Bones. This exciting sequel to 2013's Rise Headless and Ride brings back Jason Crane, descendant of Ichabod of the Legend of Sleepy Hollow - as well as his friends Joey, Kate, and Zef - to face off against the ancient evil of the Van Brunt family. Impeccably researched, with an epic scope and a huge cast of characters, Bridge of Bones brings the weird gothic world of Sleepy Hollow to vibrant life in a way not seen since Irving's original: with fidelity to the real modern town and its history. Bridge of Bones is an imaginative tour de force spanning centuries, and a Halloween treat not to be missed.

Good

Can't wait to do book 3 Ready to go now let's do this thing. YEAH!

It got better...

Gleaves did a good job with the second installment. There are parts that seem to drag on to much. The back story of the Van Brunt's is really enjoyable. there are some really good spooks and the whole thing is told very well. I have noticed one thing though that keeps striking me as odd, Mormons (in both books) come up really frequently and they have NO connection to the story and NOTHING to do with the dialogue where mentioned, it got a little distracting.

Something to lose your head over

This book may be long, but I finished it in a weekend because it’s one heck of a ride. I learned so much about the evil powers that control the Sleepy Hollow boneyard, and the evil entity that ultimately controls the Headless Horseman. Murderous ghosts and malevolent witches are unsettling, but the most frightening thing about this book is the evil that lurks within Hediwig’s soul. This is more than just a cat-and-mouse adventure story. It’s also a terrifying character sketch of the mind of a sociopath. There were points when Hediwick tried to fight his dark madness, yet his weakness was no match for pure evil. That, my friends, is far more frightening than a Headless Horseman lurking in the woods on Halloween night.

I highly suggest “reading” this one of audio. The narrator is the best in the business, and it’s a lot of fun listening to the book while walking around a spooky trail at dusk. Happy reading—or listening—my friends!

Book one was great, but I couldn't stop listening to this one.

Is this it????

Loved part 1, got left hanging by part 2. I sure hope there is a part 3 coming.

deserves more than 5 stars

This is a fantastic second book. Eric Summerer separates each characters voice and gives them such life and i feel like i know each one of them personally. i laughed, cried and gasped at times. it was awesome! on to book 3

Absolutely love!!!!

Every year, beginning September first, I celebrate Autumn early. One of the first things I do to celebrate my favorite season is to watch every version of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow that I can get my hands on. A few years ago, I found the first book in this series, hoping I'd have something entertaining and spooky to listen to during my way to/from work. But it ended up being SO much more than that. I started listening to it at home while I baked ridiculous amounts of apple and pumpkin desserta, I listened to it while I cleaned, took my bath, when I was sad and need something to pull me from my misery..... And this second book was even better than the first! And the narrator has PERFECT timing in his performance. The funny stuff, the scary stuff, the anger, the hope.... he conveyed all of that perfectly. Please keep writing Mr. Gleaves. And Mrs. Summerer, please keep narrating. It's hard to please me when it comes to spooky stories, especially in regard to the Sleepy Hollow Legend. But this went beyond my expectations!

Good story

The narrator for this book was excellent, using several voices and inflections so that different voices can be recognized. The story was good, but ended in a way that was disappointing. Several situations were never resolved in the ending, although most of the story did have a happy ending for most characters.

great book

This book was so exciting and me on the edge of my seat!!! Much better than the 1st book.

Truly Enjoyable

I really enjoyed this. the story is well paced and well thought out. I love the history that is presented! I can't wait to read/listen to the next one!
