This is the second book in the One Dollar Horse series and I'm still shocked at how unique and intricate Lauren's writing is.

Casey has just won the Badminton three day horse event (this happens in the first book) and is all ready to take on the challenge of the Kentucky three day event when disaster strikes. Casey's dad is arrested for a crime he didn't commit. And then Casey's world starts falling to little tiny pieces on the floor.

Casey lives in London's grottiest tower block, so she's grown up with a tough streak, but her father being arrested has just made her fall apart. Storm (Casey's horse) won't go near Casey any more, and there's no doubt that they will fail miserably at Kentucky, so Casey decides reluctantly not to take part.

But one day Casey finds a note addressed to herself. It's from a blackmailer telling her that she has to win Kentucky if she wants the tape that proves her father is innocent.

Casey has twenty one days to get her and Storm closer than ever before. But then Casey's boyfriend, Peter, says he's not sure what to believe. That really breaks Casey, but she powers on and soon enough, she and Storm are best buddies again and on the plane to Kentucky.

The rest of the book is a mystery as it's answering all the unanswered questions and more mysteries pile on top of this. Definitely a four and three quarters out of five!
