Summary from Maggie's website
Ever since Kate McGregor arrived at Timber Ridge Stables, Angela Dean has been making trouble. Maybe she's angry because Kate's a better rider than she is, or maybe she's jealous because Kate's the only one who's allowed to ride Buccaneer, the barn's willfull new horse.
To further complicate matters, a new
girl—Jennifer West—moves into the neighborhood and Angela sets out to
impress her. But when Angela makes a fool of herself in front of
Jennifer, things begin to
go wrong and Kate gets the blame.
Is Angela behind the trouble?
Kate and her best friend, Holly, who’s
learning to walk and ride again after an accident, can’t be sure. But
they do know one thing. If Angela's on the warpath, Kate is heading for
trouble, and fast!
Nayu's thoughts
Confession: I stayed up late to finish this! Huge thanks to Dana who
is sweetly providing me with review copies of the series since I
adored book 1 despite not
liking horses much in real life I have a thing for horses in fiction
and am quite happily imagining I'm the characters...except when they
are in trouble which happens a lot.
I
can't stress how exciting Kate's story is! I couldn't believe how the
stakes got higher when I thought they were high enough. I felt so
sorry for Kate when no-one believed she wasn't responsible for all
the mishaps which happened, mishaps which got bigger the more they
happened, and practically lost Kate her job. Even Holly started doubting her. That's
why I stayed up late to finish it – I couldn't not know what
happened next! Mercifully Maggie doesn't believe in cliff-hanger
endings or else I'd have been fairly annoyed ^o^ The end is the best
part in the book, as everything gets worked out, so stick with
Kate through the hard times, and enjoy being surprised resident mean girl Angela's sneaky ways.
