Enjoyably predictable. I've got a thing for this author's time-slip books. *It doesn't change things for me as far as enjoying the story, but the knowledge that this is a reissue from the mid-90s explains a few things. Having read Winter Sea recently, it felt like the author's writing style slippe...

Verity joins an archaeological dig in Scotland, looking for the Ninth Roman Camp. A mysterious ghostly sentinel that can only be seen by a wee lad with a "gift" seems to guard the sight. But is it really the Ninth? And what other strange things are going on here? Verity seems to be stuck in the midd...

Not a whole lot, that’s what.But Verity Grey definitely gets more than she bargained for when she heads to Rosehill in Eyemouth to interview for a job. One she accepts, even when she finds out who they’re looking for – none other than the missing Ninth Legion – and that their efforts are based more ...

The villain was pretty easy to figure out. Even with that overall I enjoyed the book a lot. I guess this book is one of the author's early works (1997 publication date). I think I've read about 4 or 5 of her books and have enjoyed all of them. A little romance but it's the camera angles to the l...

Verity is an archaeologist, she loves her job but wants back to digging. So in comes Scotland, and a ...

Read This Review & More Like It On Ageless Pages Reviews!A thoroughly satisfying mix of history, the paranormal, with a dash of romance to flavor, The Shadowy Horses does not disappoint. A bit more romance-orientated than my previous read by this author (Mariana), I can still easily endorse Susanna...

Meine Meinung Titel & Cover: Der Originaltitel lautet zwar anders, passender zwar zur Aufteilung des Buches, da dies unterteilt wird nicht durch Teil 1 u.s.w sonder durch "Erstes Pferd" / Zweites Pferd".... Aber der Deutsche passt ebenso gut, denn es trifft den Inhalt doch wesentlich besser find ic...

3.5 starsThe Shadowy Horses was an enjoyable read for me although a bit disappointing. The character and setting development was very well done. I greatly enjoyed the characters. I also liked the mixing of history, archeology, ghosts, mystery and romance. However, what the book came down to was a li...

Enjoyable romance but much more enjoyable history lesson. The romantic story arcs (both of them) were pretty predictable. The real strength here was in the characters- each distinct, each believable. I dug it but was not transported.
