The International Archaeology Association (IAA) is responsible for keeping all things supernatural under wraps. They’re also responsible for ruining the promising archaeology career of Alix Hiboux, better known as Owl.
Needless to say, Owl’s still a little sore about that.
Just to keep Owl’s life lively, the IAA has opened a bounty on the two designers of World Quest, the online RPG that is much, much more than it seems. Owl needs to locate the notorious gaming duo before the other mercenaries do. But finding the gamers won’t be easy since every clue points to them hiding out in the legendary lost city of Shangri-La. Not to mention that the last time Owl and the game designers spoke, their conversation didn’t exactly end on the best note…
Meanwhile, undercurrents of supernatural politics are running amok in Tokyo, dragging Owl and her friends into a deadly game of wits with an opponent who calls himself the Electric Samurai. The cost of losing? All-out civil war between two powerful supernatural factions.
All in all, just another great day on the job.
My thoughts:
I listened to book 1 on audio, then I read book 2, and now I am back to audio and I guess because I started it on audio I just prefer the audio. I need those voices.
Owl does not have it easy. The IAA is after her (and it was never her fault to begin with). She is under the employment of a dragon and the worst, someone has her cat. Noo, not Captain. I do love a good cat sidekick. He is just there you know, and his growls plays a big part.
I like Owl, she is snarky (sure maybe too much for her own good but who cares). She loves cats and history. Gotta love that.
Anyway, in this one she must find two guys for the IAA and that is just the beginning. In comes the mystery of the electric samurai. And it does become a great adventure. Action, snark, danger and suspense.
Narration by Christy Romano
I do like how she plays the different part and I enjoy listening to her voice. I think she does a good job narrating this one.
I never know what to say when it comes to narration, I mean, I liked her voice and that is all I need.
Conclusion:
I am reeeeally looking forward to book 4 now cos omg that ending. Dang! That was intense and something bad happened. Something that will alter everything. I can't wait to see how it works out. I need it now.

For review
Sounds like quite a cliff-hanger ending!
ReplyDeleteIt was a good ending, but yes at the same time there was a cliffie
DeleteI'm so relieved that Captain and Owl were together again in this one! I missed his yowls and tantrums, haha.
ReplyDeleteCaptain is the best!
DeleteAs you know, I'm in the middle of listening to the first book. It's pretty good. I hope Owl matures over the series - she's got some juvenile tendencies. But so far I'm in for the long haul...
ReplyDeleteI can't remember if I though so in book 1, hmmm, well I like that side perhaps. Maybe it's her snark
Deleteas with many series - I have the first book but haven't started it yet. It makes me happy when people still love a series so many books in though.
ReplyDeleteFor What It's Worth
I hope you will enjoy it
DeleteI finally gave in and picked up the audiobooks.
ReplyDeleteI do the same. If I start a series on audio, I generally need to finish it on audio otherwise it feels like it lacks something.

Book 2 was good but I kept on feeeling like I was missing out
DeleteTotally :D I need her voices
ReplyDeleteEnjoy!
ReplyDeleteI'll be interested in the next book too!! :D
ReplyDeleteI really need to start this series. I have the first two books sitting on my kindle. I am glad you enjoyed this one!
ReplyDeleteYou have!? Start it :)
DeleteI haven't heard of this author before but glad to hear you liked the book.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to read this one. I love Owl. I have the eARC but I might consider doing the audio too, since you enjoyed it so much. I think I've also listened to Christy Romano on other audiobooks and she's great.

I hope the jump works if you do decide to change formats :)
DeleteI've only read the first one but it was fun. And not the cat!! Nobody better mess with the cat lol...
ReplyDeleteI know right, not Captain!
DeleteI've never tried audio but maybe I should at some point... This does sound like a fun series though.
ReplyDeleteI have started to really njoy the format
DeleteI haven't read the book but I definitely need to check it :)

DeleteGlad you enjoyed it, I can imagine you like a good cat sidekick :)
ReplyDeleteHihi
DeleteI tend to want to finish a series on audio, if I start it on audio. I have several series that I haven't finished because they quit putting them on audio.
