Publisher's summary

In the sixth novel in the New York Times bestselling Iron Druid Chronicles, two-thousand-year-old Druid Atticus O’Sullivan finds himself the target of two goddesses of the hunt and a trickster god determined to unleash the apocalypse.

“[Kevin] Hearne is a terrific storyteller with a great snarky wit. . . . Neil Gaiman’s American Gods meets Jim Butcher’s Harry Dresden.”—SFFWorld

For someone who’s been alive for two thousand years, Atticus O’Sullivan is a pretty fast runner. Good thing, because he’s being chased by not one but two goddesses of the hunt—Artemis and Diana—for messing with one of their own. Dodging their slings and arrows, Atticus, Granuaile, and his wolfhound, Oberon, are making a mad dash across modern-day Europe to seek help from a friend of the Tuatha Dé Danann. His usual magical option of shifting planes is blocked, so instead of playing hide-and-seek, the game plan is . . . run like hell.

Crashing the pantheon marathon is the Norse god Loki. Killing Atticus is the only loose end he needs to tie up before unleashing Ragnarok—AKA the Apocalypse. Atticus and Granuaile have to outfox the Olympians and contain the god of mischief if they want to go on living—and still have a world to live in.

Critic reviews

“Celtic mythology and an ancient Druid with modern attitude mix it up in the Arizona desert in this witty new fantasy series.” (Kelly Meding, author of Chimera)

“A page-turning and often laugh-out-loud funny caper through a mix of the modern and the mythic.” (Ari Marmell, author of The Warlord’s Legacy)

“Kevin Hearne breathes new life into old myths, creating a world both eerily familiar and startlingly original.” (Nicole Peeler, author of Tempest Rising)

I Love Oberon

What made the experience of listening to Hunted the most enjoyable?

I feel like I know them all.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Oberon, i love dogs any way and he is scarcastic

Which scene was your favorite?

Dont have one, they are all good

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

No. Luke Daniels brings all these books to life. I would listen to anything he narrates!!

Any additional comments?

Little slower to get into then the other books but the book didn't disapoint me.

amazing

I love the iron druid chronical stories these books will endure the test of time and will become classics someday

Fantastic

As always this series is just amazing. The writing, the voice actor, its better then any movie ive watched in the past 5 years

Weeee

I just want to know what happens next. This story aechuis genius. I care about so many of the characters. Additionally if note, Luke Daniels is one of the only narrators I will listen to that doesn't have a sweet British accent.

Still crazy after all these years

I have read many reviews which say the series starts to stall for them, however I still get a kick out of the zany cast of pantheonic characters. Even Oberon’s sausage and poodle obsession are comforting tracks when absolute mayhem erupts. Hunted takes some dark twists and Atticus finds himself in even greater peril than ever before. Kevin Hearne manages to weave in a little nugget at the end of every book that has me ready to queue up the next or pout until I have my next token or WiFi available.

Run to get this

Latest in series does not disappoint. I laughed, cried and cheered through book six. Keep them coming.

Awesome!!

This is the best series ever written, Hands down, bar none, period…. Way to go Kevin!

one of my faves

this author is fantastic and makes feel.as if you are right beside the main guy and girl you feel the sadness ,happiness, love and joy that each character is going thru.

Depth and dimension

Whatever comes of any movie or show Luke Daniels has to have a role. His various voices have given such great depth (and humor) to the characters. I liked the way Kevin tried to express from the Morrigán the complex feelings and how Luke was able to let that compassion soak in. Well done I really felt choked up for her. It reflects a dimension of humans being trapped in roles so well.
On a lighter side knowing that Rula Bula is a real place (and only 2k miles from me) I’m going to have to go for fish n chips!
You guys are a great team and I

I love this series!

Where does Hunted rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

On par with the rest of this series, which are among my very favorite audio books.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I think I have to go with Oberon, even though he and his comedic breaks are a tad over-utilized in the book / series. Likely, he is my favorite character because he basically lacks any kind of mental filter, and just blurts out all of the things that most people wish they had the courage to say.

Have you listened to any of Luke Daniels’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

It is really, really good, as per usual. That being said, it may be worth getting someone else on board to perform Granuaile's parts, provided she is sticking around, as his version of a young modern woman's voice is the weakest one you'll hear from Mr. Daniels in this series.

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

Just like other books in this series, I found myself "laugh out loud" happy, tense/anxious/worried, pissed, and then laughing again... I could go into detail about when and how my emotions were expertly played by the content and its delivery, but then I would be spoiling some pivotal moments in the plot, so I won't go into that here. It will suffice to say that I've enthusiastically enjoyed every one of these books, and my emotions / reactions to them are a big part of why I keep coming back for more. Seriously, I have developed an emotional attachment to Atticus, Oberon, and Granuaile.

Any additional comments?

If fantasy is your thing, jump in on book one, you won't be sorry!
