Review: Crane - Book #1 Legends Saga - Stacey Rourke - May 2014

Are you a fan of renditions ? Love the tale of "Sleepy Hollow" with the Headless Horseman ? Author Stacey Rourke brings a twist on the old tale with Crane which flashes from past to present throughout the whole novel as we first meet three best friends Washington Irving , Ichabold Crane and Rip Van Winkle , recovering from the war these three travel to Sleepy Hollow where Crane has been tasked with the job of being the new schoolmaster. It is here where we learn about the tale of the Headless Horseman and how somehow Ichabold Crane ended up with the bad reputation when considering the way his mate Rip Van Winkle behaved , he should have been the one to earn the reputation. The novel then flicks to the present time where somebody disguised as the Headless Horseman is killing the townsfolk of Sleepy Hollow and a new Crane has moved into town. Ireland Crane has headed here for a fresh start, but it won't be the fresh start she expected as the town reveals a curse that the "Cranes" carry within them.  With the help of Rip Van Winkle who has been under a sleeping spell all these centuries , can Ireland figure out a way to end the curse before more of the townsfolk of Sleepy Hollow are killed ?
If you love the tale of Sleepy Hollow , then you will enjoy "Crane" by Stacey Rourke and stay tuned for her upcoming release "Raven" in what I can guess might be an Edgar Allan Poe rendition.

At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
