Have just finished reading this… and damn it, the next one is not out yet. There is a word in the book that I need to know the meaning of.

Other than that, I really like this series. This is book two of Alix’s adventure and well worth a read.

I have no idea when book three is out.. but I hope its soon.

A solid 4 stars! ( )

Owl is back!

I have wanted to read the next book in this series since I read the first book; Owl and the Japanese Circus. And, I'm quite pleased to say that the story is even better in this book. That doesn't mean I didn't enjoy the first book. But since the introduction to the supernatural world and its beings had been dealt with in the first book could this book focus more on the continuation of Owls adventures and less getting to know the characters and all the supernatural stuff.

Someone is impersonating Owl and stealing objects and now it seems that the person has stolen cursed objects that kill whoever touches them. Owl must now steal them back and clear her name. Thankfully she has help from her best friend Nadja, Owls boyfriend Rynn and, of course, her cat Captain. Also, in this book, we finally get to meet Carpe face-to-face in the real world instead just as a gaming partner to Owl. And, I have to admit, I think he really is my favorite character. Well, he and Captain of course. It's just something special with the hacker elf. I mean I haven't anything against Rynn. But I wouldn't mind some Owl and Carpe action in the future. Also, the messenger Hermes had a small part in this book. I liked him very much too and hope to see more of him in the future. Someone I'm not as sure I like is Rynn's cousin Artemis. I mean I started with liking him, he was so different from Rynn, but in the end. Well, let's say he kind of messed up a bit and that was too bad since I found him to be quite an interesting new addition to the story.

This book was really good, action from the beginning to the end. Plenty of hilarious moments especially since Owl doesn't know when to shut up and keep getting in trouble all the time. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series!

One thing; the cover. I prefer the cover of Owl and the Japanese Circus. I just don't fancy this cover that much. The cover to the first book is just so beautiful, this one not so much.

This was great! I have had this book for years and I am now realizing that I did myself a disservice by ignoring it for so long. I love the Indiana Jones vibe with a supernatural twist of this series. The characters are great and there is even a thread of humor throughout the novel. I definitely think that is a series not to be missed and I am glad that I finally gave it a shot.

Owl is in trouble once again and I couldn’t wait to see how she would be able to get herself out of this newest jam. Someone has stolen some important but cursed artifacts and everyone thinks that it was Owl but this is not a theft that she would even consider. Now to prove her innocence she needs to retrieve those items and find the real thief. Owl is definitely in for a challenge and everything proves to be more complicated than she could have ever imagined. There was more than enough action and excitement to go around in this installment and I often found the book difficult to put down.

I really like the characters in this series. It was fun to watch Owl, her cat Champion, Rynn, Nadya, and Carpe try to get to the bottom of things. I liked how this group of characters was able to work together to achieve the mission and keep everyone safe. It is obvious how much each of these characters cares about each other. The fact that there is a whole group of supernatural characters in the mix adds another layer to keep things interesting. Even the cat had something important to add to this entertaining story.

I would highly recommend this book to fans of urban fantasy. I would recommend reading this series in order since this book is built on the events in the previous installment. I am looking forward to reading about Owl’s next adventure!

The second book in the series has Owl fighting against her own reputation as a thief. She has to track down some artifacts and steal them to prove that she wasn’t the one that stole them in the first place. All this turns out to be part of an opening move in a war between supernatural factions and it doesn’t help that she forks for one. Things mostly work out in the end but there are issues with how she gets out of her situation and she needs to fix that in the next book. The plus is you also get to find out more about the online game she uses.
