really enjoyed this book, The prologue got right into the action and was so vivid, All the characters were well written and I could not figure out who the villain was the whole book.
So many characters seemed to have motive but I kept changing my mind on who it could be, To me that's the sign of a good book, I don't like scary books and this book had its scary moments but not enough to give me nightmares.
Wow! This book was an amazing read, It had just the right amount of romance, horses and suspense, This has become my favorite book! Very good suspenseful story, I got to read this book thanks to NetGalley and I wasnt a fan of this book, I liked it at the beginning but when I realized this book happens in the span of a week, it didnt make sense to me.
So much bad stuff happens to the main character and yet no one really raises an eyebrow even though its back to back stuff.
Also the thing with the family diamonds and how they get found at the end of the book I thought was so dumb.
This had the Instant love trope which Im not a fan of and at the half way point of this book it really started to drag for me.
Overall just wasnt a fan and as a horse person the stuff that happened with the horses didnt make much sense and felt as very much an afterthought.

But Chloes intentions are not entirely "pure", Shes in Galena, Illinois, to discover the truth about the disappearance of Nissas former tutor, Chloes foster sister, Dawn.
Dawns disappeared a month ago, leaving a note that she was eloping, but Chloe is more than doubtful.
No matter the happiness and elation, Dawn wouldve contacted her, Which never happened. So, suspecting foul play, Chloe took the position of Nissas tutor, suspecting everyone around her, even her attractively mysterious employer, Damian Graylord.
This story was a bit over the top for me, There was just too much of everything crammed in thosepages, I know the author strived for a mysterious, chilling and thrilling tale, but using every single trick in the "how to write a suspense novel" overdid it.
We have the almost gothic atmosphere of mistshrouded house, pastures, and dangerously steep bluffs where a horse fell to his death.
Theres the ghost of the dead horse, leading the heroine to small clues as to what the truth might be.
We have a missing presumed dead exmistress of the house, a cheating, lying, materialistic "bitca" that made her husbands life living hell too Rebeccaish for me.
Theres a missing presumed eloped and happily married summer tutor, The heroine is involved in three suspicious incidents that almost cost her life shes pushed into the wall and looses consciousness, shes almost run over in town, she suffers from monoxide poisoning.
Theres a hidden treasure in roughcut diamonds somewhere in the house, which is littered with several secret passageways that could explain the odd noises in the attic.
Then theres the sourfaced, downright hostile toward the heroine, housekeeper again too similar to Rebecca, And of course, the mysterious, intriguing, dark and handsome Damian Graylord that might have had something to do with the "disappearance" of both his exwife and the former tutor.
Sorry, but Damian Graylord didnt come through as the mysterious, intriguing, dark, and handsome leading man for me, but more along the lines of a schizophrenic, closemouthed, brooding ahole with the need for some serious angermanagement sessions.
And the heroine was just plain silly, Not yet in the TSTL territory, but definitely borderline, She suspected everyone, even the man that made her tingle, Sheesh. Honey, you just dont sleep with a guy you suspect might be a murderer, It just isnt done! I just couldnt stand the chit,
Also, the constant change of narrative point of view was bothersome at best, horrendous at worst, The jumping from firstperson to thirdperson and back was confusing, tiresome, and just provided a further more reason as to why this story sucked.
Oh, and the villain could be spotted from a mile away, Dissapointing. This book was exciting right great, It had everything romance, danger, and a touch of the supernatural! I really enjoyed the information about horses, Good story. Based on the title and cover, I was expecting a fun, easy to read horsebased mystery with romance, It barely delivered on the romance, and somehow the mystery and other elements as well, And none of it was gothic,
'Ghost Horse' is a bland, unexciting read that also lacks proper editing, Multiple instances of incorrect character names, The romance was awkwardly written, and sparse, And extremely unsexy. The attempts at mystery, at which character is 'the bad guy', . . well, all the characters are so onenote and forgettable that it was hard to decide which individual was worse.
Oh, and definitely skip if you know anything about horses, breeding, or care about the accuracy of said content.
This book had me whispering aloud 'that's not how that works' and 'no' every time horses were mentioned, . . and they're only a major plot point and element of the book, I annotate my books as I read, and one of my notes says "I have ridden horses foryears, what does this even mean".
