Publisher's summary

BOOK 2 IN THE IRON DRUID CHRONICLES

Atticus O’Sullivan, last of the Druids, doesn’t care much for witches. Still, he’s about to make nice with the local coven by signing a mutually beneficial nonaggression treaty - when suddenly the witch population in modern-day Tempe, Arizona, quadruples overnight. And the new girls are not just bad, they’re badasses with a dark history on the German side of World War II.

With a fallen angel feasting on local high school students, a horde of Bacchants blowing in from Vegas with their special brand of deadly decadence, and a dangerously sexy Celtic goddess of fire vying for his attention, Atticus is having trouble scheduling the witch hunt. But aided by his magical sword, his neighbor’s rocket-propelled grenade launcher, and his vampire attorney, Atticus is ready to sweep the town and show the witchy women they picked the wrong Druid to hex.

interesting characterizations

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

laugh mostly

Witty and hilarious!

Word structure and story line are phenomenal. The verbal sparring sessions are quite interesting and comical to say the least!

Good story, author is petty. Performance is perfect!

I really enjoy the story. The performance, is as always, the very best by Luke Daniels. I find few narrators who can match him. I do have a few complaints with Kevin Hearne. For one, he trashed some of the religions of the Gods he uses. And, out of fear no doubt, steers completely away from any of the Muslim pantheons. Why cannot these authors write without trashing things they do not agree with, really? Leave your personal opinions out of it, because it make it indisputable you are petty! Otherwise very enjoyable.

Best fantasy book series I've read to date!

What did you love best about Hexed?

The traditional fantasy writing style mixed in with some contemporary humor. It's going to date the book with references to current popular movies, internet references, etc. Like watching old TV shows you recorded on VHS and laughing at the commercials from 15 - 20 years ago.

Adicas - He's old and still alive.

Original and entertaining

What does Luke Daniels bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Luke has a good voice, and it is easy to hear the differences in all the characters.

Any additional comments?

The book has been compared to the Dresden files, and that is a good comparison. At times, the main character ends up with more power than it seems he should have, so there is a bit of
