Hexed: Humorous urban fantasy romp

Kevin Hearne Iron Druid Chronicles 2. HexedKevin Hearne Iron Druid Chronicles 2. HexedHexed by Kevin Hearne

…It’s been three weeks since Atticus O’Sullivan slew two gods. This has made him more visible in the supernatural world, and now he’s got a whole new crop of problems… In Hexed, the second Iron Druid novel, Kevin Hearne gives us another funny, action-packed tale. Atticus develops as a character, too. He has survived the centuries by being paranoid, but now he’s forced by circumstances to make alliances and put himself in a position to owe favors… As for “funny,” if anything, Hexed is even funnier than Hounded. Some scenes and quips had me howling with laughter… In addition to the humor, there are some touching moments… I had the opportunity to devour Hexed in both print form and via Brilliance Audio’s production. Luke Daniels’ narration continues to be excellent. He captures Atticus’ snarkiness and his assumed “Dude” persona perfectly, and does well with the accents and the foreign names. Whatever format you prefer, check out this series for a fun urban fantasy romp with lots of humor. Hammered, here I come. Read the rest.

    Don’t drink anything while you’re reading them. You may snort it through your nose.

    Kelly – I hope to see that as a book blurb on the next book in the series.

    But if you are going to drink something while reading the Iron Druid books, a good beer or a nip of Irish whiskey is ideal. :)

  8. Kat Hooper

    Well the only beer I can actually swallow is Guinness, so that would work really well!!

    It must be me because I’ve read several good reviews of Hexed but I just couldn’t get into it.

    Breadcrumbs: A fairy tale in the true old-fashioned sense: Breadcrumbs by Anne Ursu Breadcrumbs, by Anne Ursu, is a lovely yet sharply and at times painfully realistic coming-of-age tale, made all the more enjoyable for its many winks and nods to well-known works of children’s fantasy such as THE CHRONICLES OF NARNIA, ...
