Just a so-so book. Never read this series before, so I didn't know what to expect. It was okay plot-wise, and I really liked the side-plot with the "ghost". But Mary Beth seemed to get over her horse-fear rather abruptly at the end... I could see it easier if she had gotten more used to being around horses, a little at a time, or something. But all through the novel she was still very tense and not happy about it, and then suddenly she's better? ( )
