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.

I am hooked

I love all these books. and what is best? its a series but they have starts, middles, and ends. there is no major cliff hangor. yha it leaves some things wanting, but it could also be a stand alone book. I love the entire series.

simply fantastic.

loved it, performed amazingly. truly great in all aspects. these characters will steal your heart.

Edge of your seat

I love Oberon! He's an adorable distraction from the action and excitement of the story. Can't wait for "Hammered"

Kevin Hearne is the Quentin Tarantino of Fantasy

I have heard the first 4 Dresden Files books from Jim Butcher and they go a bit too far with the fantasy for my taste and the dialog is somewhat uninspired.

Kevin Hearne on the other hand uses the fantasy setting more as a background to put the characters in interesting situations and uses great dialog. The dialog is so good infact that I was reminded of Quentin Tarantino's screenwriting.

Luke Daniels does an outstanding job narrating the story and the characters.
But his narration of the dog knocks it out of the park.

Great experience!
This is the perfect fantasy book in my mind.

Enjoyable second installment

Following the events of the first book, the quiet town of Tempo is starting to get more and more attention from the supernatural. Another coven of witches has moved in, fighting for dominance, while mysterious catholic priests and jewish rabbis come asking questions of Atticus. Plus the local cops are also asking a few too many questions.

Much of this book is dealing with fallout of the last. Atticus has drawn attention to himself, while also changing the balance of power in Tempo. Because of this life is becoming difficult.

This is another fun story. It is well told, darkly funny and good at keeping you on the edge of your seat.

When I finished this book I went straight to book 3, because I didnt want it to end. This is something I almost never do, usually having a break between books in a series. This book made me want to just plow through the whole series. Not many books do that, so it is high praise indeed for this.

Narration by Luke Daniels is amazing, as always. In many ways he makes these books. He creates individual personalities and distinctives about each character that makes them feel whole. Voices, emotions, accents, personalities and even speech patterns differ, adding to the fun of the story.

best ever

these books are so easy to get into and if u listen or read GREAT

Same as book 1, very fanciful but a fun listen

Would you listen to Hexed again? Why?

No, entertaining for a single listen but another listen would be very boring to the point of painful.

Great for any UF fan.

Great mix of action, mythology and comedy. Would recommend for any UF fan. The performance is also top notch.

Interesting twists and I couldnt wait for more!

It is a good continuation of the story which began in the first book . The story is very well planned and you can tell someone did his homework before writing this. The narrator does an excellent job keeping the characters voices correct. I love the dog,Oberon. He is so funny and his personality is very much like a real Irish wolfhound. I know because there are two in my family. If you read the first book you definately dont need me to convince you to read this one. If not, let me say its better to read them in order but the author can get you up to speed if you just want to start here. Read it. Love it and laugh at it. Dont miss this one.
