Anyway shes a redhead girl that lives with her older brother and younger brother. She has a land horse name Dove and they love each other very much.

Corr he is a blood red stallion. Who is the fastest horse anyone has seen. Sean and Corr have this close relationship and they both wouldn't know where the be without each other.

5. Dove-bay color land horse that puck love and rides
6. Corr-the red stallion
7. And many others

• The tone/mood/atmosphere of the book:

         I don't know really how to explain they mood or tone of this book. The time period is kinda confusing to me. It might be in modern time on the island the live on. But by there accent it sounds like it like 1800ish but most girls don't wear dresses. So kinda a confusing time. But the mood i could say is a island that tons of water horses live on and man

• Setting (time period and place):

      I'm gonna say modern time with old launage (totally my point of view) and place is the Island next to the"Mainland" and that's not america though there is a man from america.

• Summary of the book:

     I already did a awesome summary in the characters cause that's pretty much what it is but ill put some stuff i left out.

Puck is the first girl to enter the races but training with the champion Sean Kindrick there odd that they might fall for each other.But keep reminding themselves only one can win

• Rate of the book:

OK i have to say what ever book I do is gonna be like a five star to me. But if you give me a five star chart id make it a 10 star book. This is now my FAVORITE BOOK!!! i swear this is just so perfect I was raised with horses and now the feeling I have to the horses we had. To any horse i ride we have a connection. But thats just me. But to find this book and have it with the twist of water horses and romance AMAZING. I was reading some comments on this book and someone said there wasnt enough romance in it. I was so tempted to be like

Ha!!! Your joking right? I get that shiver book was FULL of romance but it dosn't mean ALL Maggie books are gonna be filled with romance. THERE WAS PLENTY OF IT JUST PERFECT

Like her Raven boys book, It suppose to be a romance book if she kisses her true love he dies. SO yeah there's gonna be romance in it. But in the first book she barley falls for Gansy. She starts to have feeling for him but shes not totally in love right when she finds out its him she kisses. So see another book of Maggie that is a romance but doesn't have pack full romance. 

But then again how Maggie ends her books. Makes you want to think forever of what can happen to them after the book ends. That's what she did in forever...i think that's the name of the last book. And Raven boys, diffidently raven boys she leaves you hanging to make up your own ending or to go on to the next book. Sadly there most likely wont be a second one to this :( so you have to think whats gonna be Sean and puck future. It did say what they wanted to do a few times close to the ending. BUT ANYWAY, that's how Maggie writes guys!

       If you don't like how Maggie wrote this book then deal with it if you. Don't like how she ends her books then don't read them and read a book with a proper ending. This is how Maggie writes and how she deals with her books. I LOVE how Maggie think when she writes her ending. Because you can say like "Oh there gonna live on a farm together get married have kids when there older. Raises horses and live happy ever after" like it kinda says in the book. Or someone else can come along read that book and say "oh no this and this happen and this horse goes like this so they have to back in the races and this and this then they settle down." 

SO now you kinda get why Maggie does the books like she does her books

ANYWAY THANKS SO MUCH FOR READING THIS AWESOME REVIEW AND IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE BOOK GO GET IT NOW AND READ IT!!!
