The Legend of Beka Cooper #2

De: Tamora Pierce

Narrado por: Susan Denaker

A #1 New York Times bestseller from the fantasy author who is legend herself: TAMORA PIERCE. In this second book in the Beka Cooper Trilogy, Beka uses her unique magic and street smarts to solve dangerous mystery!

Is Beka ready for her first real mission?

Beka Cooper is having trouble settling into the Provost's Guard. In just five months as a full member, she's already gone through four partners. But now she's teamed up with the renowned Dog Goodwin and an even more famous dog--a scent hound named Achoo. Part of a team at last, Beka is sent on a special mission to Port Caynn. Once there, she delves deeper into the dark underworld of Tortall and learns that corruption extends beyond the Rogue's Court of criminals. It would be risky to continue to investigate, but Beka's not one to give up the scent. Even if it means ending her career . . . permanently.

The Beka Cooper Trilogy introduces an amazing young woman who is the ancestor to one of Tamora Pierce's most popular characters: George Cooper. Here, Pierce gives fans exactly what they want--a smart, savvy heroine making a name for herself on the mean streets of Tortall's Lower City--while offering plenty to appeal to new readers as well!

"Tamora Pierce's books shaped me not only as a young writer but also as a young woman. She is a pillar, an icon, and an inspiration. Cracking open one of her marvelous novels always feels like coming home."
--SARAH J. MAAS, #1 New York Times bestselling author

"Tamora Pierce didn't just blaze a trail. Her heroines cut a swath through the fantasy world with wit, strength, and savvy. Her stories still lead the vanguard today. Pierce is the real lioness, and we're all just running to keep pace."

Tamora Piece is the best. I have loved everyone of her novels. She takes the imagination to the very edge of your seat.

Loved it!

I really enjoy Beka. Tamora Pierce is one of my favorite authors and Susan Denaker does her writing justice. The book sucks you in doesn't let go.

Always a great read/listen.

Always happy to read/listen to this one again. Performance dor the audio book is great and matches the story so well.

Ended up loving this book 2

I'm not sure why I had a bit of difficulty getting into Bloodhound when I absolutely loved book one. but once I was in a few chapters, I devoured this story! I love Becca. she is not some way overpowered character, so her triumphs are all the more satisfying. Especially since she could not rely on Pounce to guide or rescue her. I loved the addition of Achoo, the scent dog, and I was saddened when one of Becca's little family was killed. This was an excellent second in this series. All the characters are growing, aging, improving, or else deliberately chosing to stay fixed in their misguided thinking to their own detrement.

Sooo Good!

There is so much action that I had to repeat some parts. So far this is my favorite. And Beka with a lover?! Ulala! Susan Dennaker delivers another awesome performance. I am looking forward to the conclusion in the third book.

No slow points

Excellent story that flows well and builds off the first book in the trilogy. Tamora Pierce is an exceptional story teller
