Bloodhound: The Legend of Beka Cooper #2 Audiobook

" PG-13. I like so much of Tamora Pierce. But many of her characters experiment with sex before marriage. This has it. Beka is left hurt after her fun and perhaps ready to settle for the one who's wanted her all along. But this complexity of feelings and sexuality makes this not the book for younger readers. Great adventure and mystery. "

" Another great Tamora Pierce book. I was re-reading this one to prepare to read the new book in the series, but it was just as riveting as the first time I read it. I'm excited to go read the third now! "

" Shockingly, I have to say I thought this one was just okay. A far cry from the usual praise I heap upon Tamora Pierce I know, though I still liked it. First the good stuff: I loved that she had a queer couple and a trans person just in there matter-of-factly, though her whole "cursed by the gods to be trapped in the wrong body" explanation didn't make me that happy. Still, it's very rare that a trans character shows up in ya fiction at all, especially when it's not specifically about being trans or queer. So I love that. Also, I love it when her characters have really special relationships with animals, so this series is satisfying in that regard. The bad stuff: The romance part drove me nuts, it was so Harlequinny. EW. I kept waiting for Fabio to show up. EW. I thought she did a better job this time with the journal entry style, but it's still not my favorite, and while I appreciate that she's trying a more complicated genre with the crime-detective-procedural, 200 pages of set-up was too much for me. I didn't get really into the book until the last third, which is rare for me with Pierce. I'll definitely be reading the next one, because I'm excited for Cooper to be paired up with Tunstall, but this is my least favorite Tamora Pierce series so far. "

" Bloodhound was okay. I did like all of Tamora Pierce's other books better, though. I wish she'd write more books like the Wildmage series, and the Protector of the Small. "

" The second installment of the Beka Cooper series is just as absorbing and atmospheric as the first. Beka, Goodwin, and the hound Achoo are all vivid characters, and the world-building is first-rate. "

" Liked it at least as well as Terrier if not better. Ms. Pierce doesn't disappoint. "

" okay. getting tired of the social asides and preachiness to the stories. I think I'm done with Tamora. "

" The cover does nothing for me, but I actually quite liked this one. "

" Not as good as the first but still loved it! "

" Tamora Pierce's handling of a shy character annoyed me, as did her unneccessary preaching on subjects that weren't related to the story in any way, shape or form. This was too long for a TP book, and I was bored for the first hundred pages. Gave up. I'm sticking to her older work. "

" I LOVE THIS BOOK! By far the best series Tampra Pierce has written yet! "

" not as good as the first book. They made her much more sexual and giddy which made this book dual with itself, and her nature. I will read it again and I hope to see more books added to this series. I just can't ever imagine being done with characters from Tortall. "

" Beka never disappoints! I like how dedicated she is to her job, and how the author shows her having some mishaps. Makes her more human. Tamora Pierce does a great job of keeping the reader interested. It's sort of like reading a murder mystery, only it's not about murder, but conterfeiting. "

" Maybe this book wasn't as exciting as the previous one, but it was still amazing. I found myself missing Tunstall a bit, but the new characters were good too. I like the journal format, as that brngs a different experience, but still reads like a story. "

" Great sequel! The adventure may have seemed average but the author sure did rock it!!!! That is the best kind of book. I am glad my friend had referred me to read it. "

" I enjoyed reading this book. It took awhile for the story to get going and it was still fairly slow until the last few chapters. But I do like the characters and would love to read more about them. "

" Outstanding second book in the series. One of Pierce's best. "

" yay for books that you can read in 24 hours! "

" Pretty good more like 3 1/2, but lacked the flair that came with the first book. "

" Not a bad book, but much less exciting than the first one. It dragged in spots. "

" I love Tamora Pierce! She creates such a wonderful land, story, and characters. The only thing that kept this book from five stars was all the canoodling. There was too much for my liking. Otherwise, great book! Cannot wait for the next one! "

" An excellent follow up to Terrier, loved it! "

" I enjoyed this one even more than the previous book, and Rosto was hardly in it! Either Beka grew up or I was just much less sick while reading. I laughed out loud quite a lot while reading. Great spring break read. "

" it is just awesome. i love thecharacter i feel i know her, as a person.she has possitive and negative traits that make her human to me. I love pierce and cant wait for the next book "

" The was less Rosto in this book and was, therefore, less good. "

" Not a dead dog book. I was awfully scared it would be one. "
