Freedom, book one in the Freedom Series was recently available for free download on Amazon. I’m quite a fan of Angela’s supernatural horse books for younger readers. So it should come as no surprise that I was eager to download this one to read.
Young Jani is greatly disappointed by her parent’s decision to relocate. She will be starting a new school and leaving behind the school and friends that she knows. Her best friend who she rides with and the riding stables she adores will also be left behind. The only silver lining is that her beautiful paint mare Keeta is coming with them and will be able to have her own pasture and barn.
Jani’s mum is excited about the move and their new property. She is eager to show her daughter the house but Jani is more interesting in seeing where her horse will be living.
The pasture looks great whilst the barn is old and dark. Jani is happy with the news that her parents plan to build a new one – it will only be temporary. And yet, as Jani prepares for her mare’s arrival, there is something off about the barn. She finds herself scared by a dark shadowy mass inside.
With the arrival of her father and Keeta, Jani pushes the unpleasant experience away, telling herself she imagined it. But then when her beautiful mare starts hanging around the barn instead of out in the beautiful grassy pasture, Jani knows something is up.
Although the young girl is still saddened at moving away from her best friend Maria, she finds a new friend in local girl Penny. Penny too is horse mad, even though she doesn’t have a horse of her own. In time the two discover an incredible story behind the barn and a horse that used to be kept there. Freedom is an interesting paranormal story that explores working with horses rather than capturing and beating them into submission. An enjoyable read.
