When Lisa's family was forced to sell their house and horses, life became hard enough - but then her dad finds out Lisa is going everyday to visit the horse that was once hers, her beloved Jupiter, and forbids her to go again. But nothing is going to stop Lisa, not even the new owner's nephew who threatens her. And now the final blow, the nephew is abusing Jupiter!

Lisa feels helpless and outnumbered. Only one thing is for certain: she will not abandon the horse she loves. She just has to find a way to solve all the problems.

And then the very bad situation becomes infinitely worse.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Thirty-four middle grade novels (some that haven't been released in English yet), a number of screenplays, audiobooks, published poetry, short stories, articles, and a non-fiction book for kids, plus editing, mentoring other authors, and now creating a novel (and maybe a new series?) for grown ups!

Throughout it all, Angela has done her best to make a positive difference in the world through encouraging others to find their personal power, whether they be her readers or the talented authors that she works with.

For years, her motto was an old Japanese proverb: “Fall down seven times, stand up eight.”

But a while ago, she switched to a new one, one she made up myself:

“Believe. Create. Inspire.”

First, believe you can do it, then create your vision, and finally, allow that creation to inspire.

Dark fire

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on October 12, 2017

This is a very exciting story which will particularly appeal to young teen girls who love horses. Since her family had to sell their home and horses, our heroine has had the heartache of living nearby with her dad determinedly swearing to get the house back. She goes to look after the horses once or twice a day, and the elderly new owner is actually a decent man without much family. But when his skanky nephew arrives everything changes for the worse.

This tale involves fantasy, suspense and danger. More than once we see our characters doing things we know they really should not, like lying to parents about where they'll be. But they do understand that this is not good at the time, and they would not normally behave this way, only doing so to keep horses out of danger. We also see that if you tell nobody where you are going, if something bad happens you won't get help.

Enjoy the fine horses and you can learn a lot from this adventure.

Great read for girls who love horses

I wish Angela Dorsey had been writing when I was growing up - but I suspect she wasn't even born yet! I adored horses and I devoured stories about them. She would have been my favourite author by far. However, even as a grown up, I thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful tale of Jupiter, his girl, Lisa, and the mysterious and magical, Angelica. This tale combines fantasy, mystery and action, and its female characters are strong, brave, caring and relatable. An engaging and often exciting read.

An Excellent Book for Young Girls!

Lisa’s life has been turned upside down. Her parents have lost their family home and, along with it, Lisa’s beloved horses. She misses Jupiter the most, but at least the kindly new homeowner, Mr. Pickering, allows Lisa to visit the horses whenever she likes – until his evil nephew, Jimmy, shows up. Lisa is forced to visit the stables under the cover of darkness, for fear of alerting Jimmy. It’s becoming clear to Lisa that Jimmy is willing to do anything to keep her away from Mr. Pickering and the horses. Fortunately, for Lisa, a mysterious and beautiful stranger named Angelica arrives to help.

What a wonderful story this is! I LOVE books that place girls in strong protagonist roles and Dark Fire certainly does this. Ms. Dorsey has written a story about a young, determined girl who is fearlessly devoted to her friends, family and horses. She’s willing to risk anything to right the wrongs she sees. This makes Dark Fire an excellent book for young girls in particular.

There’s plenty of mystery, action and suspense in this book to keep youngsters involved until the very end. The writing is compelling and intelligent.

The idea behind this story is lovely – that there are kind and gentle souls who are watching over horses and their owners is a charming basis for a book series. I’ve already downloaded another one of Angela Dorsey’s books and can’t wait to read it!
