Thank you NetGalley for the eARC! 

While I did enjoy this book, I just felt it was a tiny bit hard to follow at times.
I enjoyed the mystery and the pace was quick and gripping, I just wish that things were a little easier to follow regarding the characters and plot. 
Definitely enjoyed though and would recommend for those that enjoy a good mystery!

I truly adored this book and am so grateful I was able to read this early as a NetGalley ARC. I had high expectations because I absolutely loved Legends & Lattes and I was not disappointed! I loved the different pace and all the characters were so wonderful, I really felt like I came along on the adventure with them all! Also, as a horse-girl I absolutely loved the equine friends made along the way and would, respectfully, die for them. I highly recommend this to anyone that enjoyed the other books in this universe!
