A mystery horse is leading Lyssa astray - and into danger!

Lyssa Hynde know the Wyoming winters are cold, lonely, and dangerous. But she wouldn't give them up for anything. There's nothing she likes better than to gallop her three-day event horse, Blue, through knee-high fresh powder.

One day when she's out for her morning ride, Lyssa follows a trail of mysterious hoofprints that takes her high into the moutains. Climbing a snowdrift, she and Blue set off an avalanche that builds force as it heads straight for her ranch.

Will Lyssa make it home in time to warn her family and save the other animals? Will she find the mystery horse that led her astray in the first place?

The cover is very Western! I like it. It's a nice change from the usual racing ones and the back ground is beautiful! I found myself internally groaning as I started to read this one and realised it would not have one speck of racing in it at all. However I still fell under the magical Thoroughbred spell I receive whenever I open one of these books.

It was ok. That's my main emotion for this book (I can tell this isn't going to be a long review). It wasn't fantastic, but it wasn't horrible.

The exciting page turning parts of the book were exciting, but they weren't oh-my-god-I-can't-put-this-down pages. It was again predictable as most of the Thoroughbreds are.

I really liked Lyssa as soon as I heard her stand up for herself. Which doesn't really make sense! All of the Thoroughbred girls have attitude. There was just something different about Lyssa. She joked, she teased, but of course shock horror she doesn't like going to school dances! How did she even get invited anyways as she is home schooled? Or Tony the horse thief? And just like all the other Thoroughbred girls she instantly feels dislike when one of their friends decide horses aren't the apple of their eye anymore. PEOPLE CAN HAVE OTHER INTERESTS... Despite all of that she feels different, maybe because she's never been into racing?
