Another strong instalment in this series! Two cougars, a mother and her cub, have been spotted in the area, and the Phantom's son New Moon keeps challenging him, wanting his own herd. I like the way the cougar storyline is resolved, and the end of this book sees the introduction of a little kitten named Cougar from a litter that the Elys' calico cat has - sooo cute! My sister and I fondly recall that.
On the human side of the story, Jen's parents are fighting and she isn't happy with Sam's relationship with Rachel; meanwhile, Brynna and Wyatt get engaged. In a children's book like this, I think it's great that the author includes young characters dealing with changes in their households.

This was one of my favorite series from my childhood, although I only read books 1-6,8-10 due to the fact that the local libraries didn't have them and the book stores didn't have them in stock whenever I went to them. So I am re-reading the books that I have read and reading for the first time the books I missed out on.
Cougars have been spotted nearby, but they haven't hurt the ranch horses - yet. So Samantha is outraged when a neighboring rancher vows to kill the cats on sight.
Her family's horses may be safe, but out on the range Sam spots a wild young stallion without a herd. Being alone puts this horse in danger. But can Sam protect the rebellious mustang and still save the cougars?
I understand that Sam cares about all wildlife but it irritated me that she was essentially thinking that anyone that would shoot the cougar to protect themselves and their livestock is a monster.
