Welcome to Whisperwood Sanitorium… delusions end and a strange reality begins.
…where the petting zoo gets a little insane.
Crane has always avoided the living at all costs, his job in the morgue only helping his desires. When he runs into a mysterious stranger at a bar one night, his life takes a sudden turn into hell. Now, he’s hearing a mysterious voice and the proper jerk has a fascination with heads. Willingly checking himself into Whisperwood should have been the answer to his problems. Instead, the feisty blonde with a taste for trouble only seems to make his own yearning for blood stronger.
When All Hallows Eve crashes down upon Kenzie and Crane, will they be strong enough to survive the massacre, or will they remain locked within the suffocating walls of Whisperwood Sanitorium?
Head Case contains depictions of gore, blood, and a sexy Horseman. Don’t forget to mind your head…

I really enjoyed this story. It’s horror-ish without being too horror-ish for me(and that probably makes no sense, but there’s a level of horror I just can’t read or watch anymore). I really enjoyed the banter between the characters and found the twist on the old tale to be both fun and realistic even though it’s a fantasy tale.
The plot line makes sense. The editing was well done and the characters are believable.
Overall, I would recommend with the caveat that there are some steamy and bloody scenes so it might not be for those who can’t handle or don’t like those.
Wow! This is not any Sleepy Hollow I could ever have envisioned. Absolute page turner!!!
haha wow! the authors really made the headless horseman realistic considering this day and age. its well written and believable considering the situation. very hot and goes on the dark side. theres a lot of bloody scenarios on here so let that be a warning for the readers.
great story especially when its close to halloween
I loved this the retelling of the headless horsemen set on its head set in a metal institution this a bloody, gory and a great story this is a must read for Halloween.
I received an ARC for a honest review
OMG!! This story is absolutely, freaking AWESOME!! Headless horseman with an amazing twist, this book has everything – I could not put it down and was completely addicted from the 1st page. And Kenzie & Crane, such a funny, bloody, gory and steamy love story.
Poppy and Kendra – hands down the best book I’ve read in a long time and a perfect example of why I love to read!!
This is must read for any fan of Sleepy Hollow!
This book is VERY different. It features gore, horror and violent urges to harm others (not the FMC).

I’ve never actually read a Halloween themed book, but WOW, I’ll be rereading this every year! I’m a bit particular about female main characters, I like them to have a solid head on their shoulders (no pun intended). I loved the FMC, Kenzie, from the start. She was strong and independant, yet a constant source of comic relief. I loved the progression of her relationship with H, especially the steaminess. The action was awesome and the ending was so good. Great read!
Mind your head! What a fantastic study of a descent (or not) into madness. Crane thinks he’s crazy. Kenzie knows she’s not. But they’re both in a mental hospital and surrounded by staff that do not have their best interests at heart. And then there’s Mitzy, who truly does seem to be insane. Loved her! This book is not for the feint of heart but if you like steamy us-against-the-a*holes and lots of blood and violence then get. this. book. Poppy and Kendra are magic together.
Where to start? This book is gory, which I normally don’t like. I’ve recently found that I do like the gore in Kendra Moreno’s books (and this co-write with Poppy Woods) as it is used to enrich the characters or create some awesomely funny antics. I didn’t know how the headless horseman could be sexy, but I loved Crane, H, and Kenzie so much! I hope Mitzie gets her own story! This book is an awesome, steamy, horror comedy!
I totally fell in love with Kenzie and Crane, they had me cheering for violent ends, I thought this book was great! Had me laughing and smiling the whole time!
A crazy must read
Wow this writing due killed it with the book. Never have I wanted to be in a sanitarium more. Crane and H are my new book boyfriends. This book makes you think that maybe being crazy isn’t so bad.
This book was full of great characters and you will fall in love with all them. This book is funny, crazy and super steamy.
You need to read this book. If not you may be crazier than the people in whisperwood
No spoilers of any kind included.
So all I’m going to say about Head Case is I thought it was awesome.
Poppy Woods and Kendra Moreno make an amazing story weaving team so amazing that I’m always looking forward to more of their blended work and I’m always impatiently waiting for it to happen.
So it’s a big HECK YEAH I most definitely do recommend this book to anyone who is searching for a fantastic story to climb into.
This is an awesome retelling of the Headless horseman. This story is well written, fast read, great characters, funny, twisted, and a little dark. You need to visit Whisperwoods, and take a journey with Kenzie and Crane, aka. F. G. This is one of the new best on my list. This is a must read. Do yourself a favor and read this one.
Holly amazeballs what a book!!!!! Definitely one of my all time favourites! Okay, but before I start with my adoration of the story and the authors, I have to leave a tiny warning. This book is not for sensitive readers. This is a hard core murder book, full of blood and gore. On the other hand, if this is your thing, then this book is a must read, but be warned, if you’re not sure, don’t go there.
And now let me go back to telling you how much I adore this book. Firstly, this book was incredibly satisfying in every way. Everyone who knows me, knows how much I adore these two authors and everything they come up with, but this, this is greatness on another level. This is a book for people who have been bullied and could’t do anything about it. It felt sooooooooooooo good. And once I started I couldn’t put it down, I read it on one go.
I really can’t say much about the story without giving spoilers because the charm lies in not knowing. And the suspense the authors built is freaking amazing. I had no freaking clue where the story was going or what is real and what is not. Cudos to the authors for doing such a brilliant job with the story.
And the characters… It seem superfluous mentioning their great world building and character development because of course it’s great! These two authors have proven their fantastic writing skills over and over again, so no need to mention it every time. Yes, separately or together, they always rock!
I have to mention two main characters Kenzie and Crane. Kenzie is a lifer in the Whisperwood psychiatric institution for unknown reasons, I can’t say any more. She is amazing, strong, proud and nothing keeps her down for long. Crane comes in voluntarily to resolve some unexpected issues and that’s all I am going to say. We all expect some kind of romance here, and of course it’s there, and it’s wild, all consuming, and annihilating anything standing in its way.
But what is really special here is their unusual connection. And although the authors never mention soul mates, that’s how it feels, for real. Not some fated destined loss of control crap, but for real, like when two people recognise each other as their other halves and nothing else can even compare. The chemistry between them is off the charts, just like their bond. And there are several scenes to testify to that.
The only thing I didn’t like about this book is that it finished and it seems to be a standalone, so I won’t get a chance to spend more time with Kenzie and Crane. I am seriously in love with this couple, what an amazing unity and unconditional love and trust! I love love love the authors for giving me this book. Thank you from the bottom of my heart
Head case is an amazing collaboration by Kendra Moreno and Poppy Woods and I loved it! The book is a fun retelling of the classic Halloween story about the Headless Horseman. Full of twists and turns this is a fast paced, action packed, steamy read and has everything I love in a Halloween story. If you love a sexy horror story I highly recommend this book!
“What is wrong with yall and why do I like it??? Some people scare me….and sometimes their mind people worry me! This book is twisted and crazy and I loved it!!!! You will never think of The Headless Horseman the same way ever again. I loved how Kenzie ruled the roost to a point but she had people that loved her broken self! You will fall in love with Crane and H the way I did!”
Off with their heads! creepy, gory and unique!
Fantastic!! A super cool and deadly twist to the headless horseman! It starts with a creepy prologue that gets you hooked and keeps up the mystery, laughter and creepy ness!! Then Add a little spitfire crazy woman who together are the dream couple of halloween : Bloody Gory! Headless, crazy, steamy and daredevil good! Must read! i read it with my kindle unlimited
Lol I enjoyed this book blood and death and an insane asylum… Kenzie is awesome and her friend is a hoot too. Wasn’t sure what I was expected but this sure outdid anything I had in mind. Love it. Thanks girls for an entertaining read
H the Pumpkin Daddy
I never imagined the legend of Sleepy Hollow being quite like this and I LOVE this version!!!! There is seriously nothing that I didn’t love about it. Kenzie’s smart witted insults were hilarious! I loved how even Mitzy’s character is brought even more to life with H near the end, although I was hoping to see her at the very end too. I seriously just couldn’t get enough of this!!! Well done ladies!!!
I had to have this because I love anything Sleepy Hollow and WOW!! Kendra and Poppy did an amazing job on this retelling. I loved all the characters and was glued to my screen from the first page on. Highly recommend this if like me you love stories of the headless horseman and bloody action with hot romance thrown in the mix.
