This book was better than the other two in the series. It wasn’t full of misinformation like they were. However, the way it’s written still irked me a bit. I know Catherine Hapka’s writing isn’t always like this. There are some books from her that I absolutely adore. The problem is, it was written exactly how the show was written, and the show made me cringe all the time.
There were parts of the story that were super basic. Friends getting mad at each other when a truth is answered in a way they didn’t want it to be answered. Zoe having to calm Raven down because nobody else can. Relationship drama.
Still, there was one plot-line that I actually really liked, and that was Winnie’s. The way she felt so bad about herself and so left out that she did something incredibly drastic to prove herself felt more real than the other plot-lines.
This book was definitely the most tolerable of the series. It wasn’t too good, but I didn’t want to throw it across the room twice every chapter.

Last in the available licensed tie-in book-TV series ups the risk factor with more boys, a dangerous game of truth and dare, and our FMC uncertain about her future home with her hard-to-handle horse. It matches the last show in the series’ vibe and extends that nostalgic run of when life was simpler, the fierce love a girl has for her horse, and the importance of found family creating a home base. Especially when that family has four hooves. If you loved Free Rein and miss that TV show, this is a perfect extension in the page of its characters, conflicts and horse-some adventures. Pony Squad forever!

Not much to it, sadly. My girls love horse books but this one was rather contrived and a DNF for them.

Another fantastic short story about an awesome series. Very quick read but super fun if you love the show you'll love these side stories. The truth or dare plot in this one makes it my favorite of the three. Great writing. Cute storyline
