This book is my top favorite of the series and I have read it SO many times it’s not even funny, lol. It also has one of my favorite covers. Just look at that beauty. 😍
I could tell the author did a lot of research for this one with the Haitian culture and the origins of the zombie myth which I had no idea about until I read this book and has stuck with me ever since. The landscape feels very real not to mention the threat of the restavec agents hot on Giselle and the other children’s trail. I also liked the subtle conversation about prejudice—it was handled very naturally and well.
Speaking of Giselle, I love her determination and leadership qualities that leap off the page as she tries to lead her brother, Robert, and the other children to safety with Angelica’s help. And while out of all the horses in this series Domi has the smallest part, he is still such a part of Giselle and an important part of their escape.
This is still by far my favorite in the series and I highly recommend it even if you never read the rest of the books. ☺️

Great book! Young girls and boys will like the story, with the wisp of magic involved. Story-line was very good and the events were captivating. I could not finish it fast enough. Now on to the next one...

I loved this book. I wish I could forget it and read it all over again. All of the Horse Angel books are beautiful. Admitedly the characters in a few of them (Wolf Chasm, for example) are annoying and hard to relate to, but the books are worth it just for Angelica, the horse angel. Her beautiful golden hair and amber eyes reflect how wonderful she is as a person. The kindest, most intruiging character I have ever read about and my favorite of all time.
This book is set in Haiti. Giselle goes to rescue her brother, who has been taken away from her and her cruel aunt by the authorities. Giselle ends up freeing all the kids held with her brother, and they escape into the wilderness. But obviously Giselle can't handle all of this on her own, so Angelica the (horse) angel shows up, bringing with her a pony she saved from being put down. Together, Giselle and Angelica - the two oldest girls and therefore the leaders - lead all of the children through the wilderness to safety. And meanwhile, the two social workers responsible for the missing children are hot on their trail.
A book worth reading. Unique from most novels because it is told from Giselle's point of view, and Angelica's, and the antagonist's, at different times.
