Summary (Goodreads):
A plague is spreading across the land. Crops are rotting. People are dying in the streets. Sora, with the help of her magical Cat’s Eye necklace, is the only one who can stop it.
She must travel overseas to the Lost Isles, a place of legend and mystery. Only there can she destroy the bloodmage, Volcrian, putting an end to the curse. She is accompanied by Crash, a lethal assassin who once threatened—and saved—her life. But Sora is beginning to question her dark companion. He seems to be carrying a secret; a hidden past that could endanger them all.
Meanwhile, they are hunted by an underground society known as the Shade. For centuries, the Shade has waited for the perfect opportunity to step into the light. Now they are perilously close to resurrecting a Dark God and unleashing a wave of unimaginable destruction. They only need to collect the three sacred weapons, and Sora has already found two….

Oh. My. Goddess. This series just keeps getting better and better! I’m amazed at how awesome and intriguing and magical these books are. I LOVE the world-building, the characters, the never-ending action, the plot twists, the slow-burn romance, just EVERYTHING. Seriously, bless the day I met the amazing person that introduced me to this series (you know who you are!) because I’m so HOOKED.
Volcrian’s Hunt is the third book in the incredible Cat’s Eye Chronicles and the stakes are higher than ever. Sora, Crash, Burn and fellow allies are getting closer to the Lost Islands where they will possibly be able to finish off Volcrian – who’s getting deadlier by the day – once and for all. Unfortunately, the islands have plans of their own, and they cause the vessel they are traveling in to shipwreck, getting themselves stranded on an unknown island. Meanwhile, Sora’s mother is searching everywhere for a book that might help destroy the Dark God’s weapons and lock him out of Earth once again and stop the plague that’s killing everything in its wake. This is another fast-paced adventure of epic proportions that will leave you breathless and wanting for more!
I’m just a fangirling mess right now. I loved, loved, LOVED everything about this book and I’m just too excited about what I just read. I’ve already stated in my past reviews of the first two books (Sora’s Quest and Viper’s Creed) one of my favorite things (maybe my favorite thing) is the slow-burn romance. I had never read a book with such an intense and absolutely fantastic slow-burn romance like the one in the Cat’s Eye Chronicles. I’m the type of reader who loves her characters getting together in the first book, but this book challenged my preferences and showed me that it’s possible to love something as infuriatingly slow as Crash’s and Sora’s relationship. It’s WORTH the wait. Gosh, it’s so damn worth it. Prepare yourselves, readers, in this book your feels will BURN to the core!
Another great thing I enjoyed from this third installment was getting to know the characters on a deeper level. We learn so much, especially about Crash, and even get to meet a new race – the Harpies. Once again, the author astounds with her flawless imagination. Her ability to create and describe magical creatures and make you connect with them is pretty impressive. And to think there’s a lot more left to discover about them!
You will not get bored in this book (nor with the first two books in the series). Volcrian’s Hunt has more than the right amount of action and amazing storyline to keep you entertained from the moment you start reading the first page. I’m so glad the fourth book is available for me to enjoy because I cannot wait to read about what happens next! If there’s a book series that I would recommend in a heartbeat because of it’s epicness, it would be the Cat’s Eye Chronicles.
