Casey the protagonist is one of those female characters that I just love-strong willed and determined with a stubborn streak yet she still has a huge heart, St John does a great job of make Casey a likeable character so that you want her to win as much as she does-despite the fact that someone winning the Grand Slam before they reach the age of eighteen is highly unlikely, it doesn’t matter because horse books are all about fulfilling and chasing after your dreams, and Casey certainly does that. But who is Kyle and why are there so many unanswered questions about his past? And what is his connection to Anna Sparks, Casey’s old rival?Īs The Burghley Horse Trials approach, it becomes clear that what is at stake is not just the Grand Slam, but Casey’s life.įire Storm was a great book-it’s only taken me three days to read it (that either shows that the plot is enthralling or that I have far too much time on my hands-I’d prefer to go with the first here though!). The country’s hottest equestrian coach is also drop dead gorgeous and Casey knows right away that she’s in trouble. Teenage eventing star Casey Blue has it all-fame, her champion horse Storm and a boyfriend who loves her. The three books follow Casey’s journey to becoming an eventing superstar and the final book of the series follows her attempt to win the Burghley Horse Trials (and the Grand Slam of eventing which has only ever been won once before, by Pippa Funnell).

Her luck changes when she rescues half starved Storm Warning from certain death in an East End slaughter yard, paying for him with a one dollar bill. The premise is about a teenage girl Casey Blue who has always dreamed of being an eventer but lives in Hackney in the east end of London and doesn’t have the money for riding lessons, never mind the costs of becoming a world class eventer. I started this series of books when the first one came out in 2012 and even though they are supposed to be for people younger than me (as a teenager I am not in the age bracket that this book is intended for) I was hooked from the first book-it really is good for any horse lover regardless of age.
