Hexed

ORIGINALLY POSTED AT Fantasy Literature.

Usually, after a hero slays the bad guy in his first book, he gets a break. But not Atticus O???Sullivan. He knew this would happen, too, which is part of the reason he would have preferred to leave Aenghus ??g alone, if he could have. But now he???s done it and, sure enough, there are consequences ??? everyone knows where he is and everyone wants a piece of him. Suddenly, Tempe Arizona is full of paranormals, most notably a coven of East European witches who fought with Hitler back in WWII, and a group of Bacchants from Las Vegas (where else?) who plan to do more than party.

Like its predecessor, Hexed is chock full of exciting action and tons of laughs. Oberon is in full form here, providing lots of truly funny comic relief (best sidekick ever!), and Atticus himself is hilarious, especially when he???s trying to evade the cops by pretending to be just a doped up occult bookshop owner. The vampire and werewolf lawyers are further developed and Atticus also brings on a bright and perky apprentice ??? the Irish girl who???s been waiting tables at R??la B??la.

The Iron Druid Chronicles continues to be excellent urban paranormal fantasy that you won???t want to miss if you love that genre and that you should try if you don???t. I highly recommend Brilliance Audio???s version read by Luke Daniels ??? he is superb.

Atticus the badass druid and Oberon the funniest Irish Wolfhound you'd ever want to meet return in another fantastic novel revolving around keeping their little part of AZ protected and safe for their magical community. Of course their community consists of witches, druids, vamps, and weres.

But not everyone wants to play nice so Atticus and the local lightly dom coven merge forces to kick some evil demon and wicked witches of the west butt.

Did I mention that Atticus promises to help kill Thor...ah but that's the next installment of this thoroughly worthwhile series.

Sexy, action-packed, well researched, and hilarious this ones a winner!
