Bloodhound: The Legend of Beka Cooper #2 Free Audiobook Download by Tamora Pierce

The second book in the series follows Beka Cooper as she journeys to her homeland of Blain, where a monster has been stalking the people of her village. There are many action sequences, which are arguably more exciting than the story itself; and the slow-moving plot is somewhat dull.

"Beka Cooper is a smart and scrappy female street kid with a nose for trouble, and when she's hired by the king to track down his daughter, she's in for the ride of her life. But as she moves through the treacherous maze of palace politics, Beka is shocked to find herself caught up in a plot that could double her kingdom -- if only she can stay alive."

In the second installment of Bloodhound, Beka is still in search of her mother's killer. However, she soon realizes that her father knows more than he's letting on and will come to the rescue if she can only get the information out of him. On the journey with her father, they learn shocking truths and exciting new adventures while they search for clues.

Chapter 2 is entitled "Rough Times" and features a number of characters that are familiar within the series. The tone of the chapter has elements of both adventure and suspense thanks to the changes in Beka's life.

Tamora Pierce has the history of Beka Cooper, a twelve-year-old who befriends a bloodhound, on her mind. In The Legend of Beka Cooper, she weaves an incredible story that seems too good to be true. But this is just the beginning, as Beka finds herself in a new adventure as she tries out for the Royal Spymistress Academy, only to find that it's far more difficult than she imagined.

The mythical races of the Horseclans, such as the wolf- and deer-folk, inhabit a different world entirely, yet they and all other realms are connected through the magical gateway of the Plains of Ashamoil.
