Barn Shadows: Dark Horse, Book Two Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 122 ratings

A year after her tumultuous exit from the Foxwoode Riding Academy, seventeen-year-old Brynlei returns to confront her demons and win Foxwoode’s elite Top Rider Award. When she stumbles over an antique doll at the construction site of a new barn, a series of inexplicable occurrences force her to question whether her condition as a “Highly-Sensitive Person” is to blame or if something more sinister is at play.

As Brynlei becomes consumed with discovering the history of the unearthed doll, the bizarre happenings escalate to dangerous levels. She soon realizes that someone close to her is lying. But who? Could a decades-old tragedy and the threatening events at Foxwoode be more closely entwined than she ever imagined?

    These tales are very well written. The twists and turns are so creative. The emotions are real and you feel like you are part of them. And then the riding and the horses, perfect blend.
    I very much recommend them to anyone, especially a horse story enthusiast like myself (50 yr old married mother of two with a horse of her own finally).

    The second installment in this excellent series continues to mix mystery with the world of elite horse academies. The likable heroine not only proves herself on horseback but also as an amateur sleuth. Highly recommended!

    This is a page turner that will keep you guessing about an underlying mystery. Some of your favorite characters return to Foxwoode Riding Academy attempting to win the coveted Top Rider award. However, unexplained events contribute to their uneasiness and eventually lead to a dramatic ending!

    I have looked forward to reading this book and am glad I finally found time to get to it. I enjoyed the first book in this series, and the second book was even better. I love a good ghost story, and this one had it. Brynlei is a great leading lady. She's driven to be a great horse rider and win the coveted Top Rider award at the summer Foxwood riding camp, but she also has the ability to sense things about people and her surroundings (and see ghosts). She wanted to stay under the radar this summer after all the mystery and craziness of the previous summer, but when a spooky doll is unearthed in a construction site on the camp and then she starts seeing the ghost of a little girl, she has to find out what is behind it all. I loved this story. It kept me guessing, had moments of spooks and danger, and then had a great ending. It's got good messages about friendship and determination. Also, I like that Brynlei doesn't accept things face value and likes to get to the truth of everything. This story is clean and a good fit for readers 11 and up. I recommend it if you love mystery, ghosts, and, of course, horses.

    I was lucky to read the first book in this series, Trail of Secrets but some books in a series can be read as a 'stand-alone' and Barn Shadows is one of these.

    Some of the back story of Trail of Secrets is given so it's easy to get an idea of what is going on. I found Barn Shadows equally as enjoyable as the first book. It's pleasurable to read with no complicated names and the characters are interesting and variable.

    I agree with some reviewers that it is hard to put down, in the sense, that you just want to know how everything pans out in the end. With a 'real' ghost featuring in this book, it makes the storyline so much more intriguing. The mixture of horses, the paranormal and characters in their teens, would really appeal to a lot of young readers and this is what counts.

    I've mentioned before that Brynlei, our protagonist, is a HSP, so a lot of what she feels I can relate to. However, I don't have her ability to see spirits which is so disappointing for me! The pacing of the book is good; it prevents the reader from rushing to the end, thereby missing out key facts and information.

    You can't fault Laura Wolfe for her ability to write such excellent novels; she obviously has more than one talent. This author is just getting better and more creative as time goes on. Brilliant read!

    I honestly couldn't find any good books to read, until I decided to give this one a try. I absolutely loved it! Even if horror or scary, and creepy books aren't my thing, I enjoyed this book so much. Definitely recommend this book. I fell in love with it!

    Brynlei returns to Foxwood Academy to pursue her dream of becoming the Top Rider. Her parents are apprehensive about sending her and can you blame them (you have to read the first book to understand). After the okay from her therapist, she is allowed to return with the promise that she won't let her sensitive condition get her way like it did last summer.

    However, once Brynlei settles into the Academy, it isn't long before strange occurrences begin unfolding and Brynlei isn't sure if she is losing her mind or if someone is just messing with her. While she tries very hard to focus on her riding and Jett, she is easily distracted and the ghost that has shown up really needs her help. Can Brynlei help this ghost and still manage to win the Top Rider award.

    This book is well written and a great continuation from the first. Brynlei is an easy to love character and one that you can relate to. Her unique sensitivities that allow her to see and interact with ghosts and other things that normal people aren't attuned to make the story even more captivating.
    The story is well paced and I enjoyed reading it. I hope to see more from this author and to read more about Brynlei and where life will lead her now.
