WOW! So much happened in this book. I don't even know where to begin and I definitely don't want to give too much. This is one book you just have to read.

Atticus is the oldest druid alive and he has made an enemy of the god Aengus Og. After killing Aengus Og, Atticus finds that every super natural being including gods, demons, witches, fae and everything else out there want a piece of him. He is wanted dead by the demons and witches. Other beings want to employ him to get rid of other gods one being Thor. Where Atticus had one enemy Thor has the whole world as an enemy it seems. Thor being a spoiled brat takes great pride in making people's lives a living hell for the sheer entertainment of it. He has no remorse and doesn't even remember the lives he's ruined. Atticus has some pretty fantastic lawyers, two of them being Gunner and Lief who have some things to settle with Thor. They ask Atticus to help them kill Thor. Atticus accepts in book two after realizing he will need Lief to help him fight some witches that have it in for him.

Atticus has lived really low key for centuries and in a span of a month or so has walked into way too much action. He's already come close to dying several times and starts to really wonder if he wants to get into anymore trouble by killing Thor. He gets a visit from Jesus and the Morrigan who both tell him things will end badly if he goes after Thor. Taking all of that into account he still goes through with it because he has given his word to his lawyers/friends.

Some of the highlights of the book:
Conversation with Jesus
Finding out Lief and Gunner's stories

I won't say anything more. You have to read the story to know what I mean.

There are some really sad parts in this one but with a great dose of hilarious, you know, with Atticus being an eternal 21 year old and all. Good grief the things he says.

This had lots of action, lots of weaving threads, and a killer ending that will sure bring more trouble to Atticus's lawn.

I have read this entire series via audiobook and let me tell you the reader is extremely talented. At first he through me off with his American accent since Atticus is supposed to be an Irish druid. You later find out that Atticus speaks with an American accent now in order to simulate better. There were a lot more characters in this book than in any of the others and the reader did a great job in giving them all their own voice.

Off to the next one!
