Horse Angel/Horse Guardian Series: Supernatural series in which a number of different characters are helped by a mysterious golden haired girl called Angelica who is a Horse Angel, a guardian of horses. Some of the stories are fairly melodramatic, with murderers, slave traders, kidnappers and ancient Egyptian curses being just a few examples of the weird and wonderful goings on within them! However, don't let this put you off - the books are very well written and contain more depth than the usual adventure story. The books can all be read as stand-alones.
PONYMAD OVERALL SERIES RATING: 4 HORSESHOES
