Owl is a modern day Indian Jones who finds herself collecting antiquities for Mr. Kurosawa, a red dragon who owns and runs the Japanese Circus Casino in Las Vegas. In this third installment, Owl finds herself contracted out to the Elves to retrieve a supernatural suit of armor. The IAA wants her to locate the missing designers of World Quest, and the IAA has merchantries on her tail. Such is the life of Owl. Thankfully she has Rynn, her succubus boyfriend, Captain her supernatural sniffing cat and others like Nadya. Let us not forget a certain World Quest elf named Carpe, who almost got them all killed in the last book.
I absolutely love the characters in this series from a bitter and fanged snake to Captain the cat who kills me with his antics. The romantic thread is kept to a minimum which isn't surprising considering all of the trouble Owl finds herself in. It was fun to see them work side by side, or should I say, watch Rynn try to keep Owl out of trouble.
While each book features a new adventure or quest, there is an overall story arc, character growth and more that make it essential to read or listen to these books in order.
Nadya wasn't present as she is off in Tokyo dealing with power plays. This was an interesting thread that teases us unmercifully, and I am anxious to know more. Maybe we will learn more in the next book, OWL, AND THE TIGER THIEVES. Thankfully we won't have to wait long as it releases on September 25th of this year. Charish left us with a cliffhanger that has me counting down the days!
