Hounded
Book One of the Iron Druid Chronicles
By Kevin Hearne
Atticus O’Sullivan is the last of the
Druids, he has survived for centuries in hiding, blending in with the people
around him his neighbors and friends all see him as a tattooed Irish dude who
owns the local occult shop in Arizona. In actuality Atticus is twenty-one
centuries old, can speak to animals and shape shift at will just being the tip
of his druidic powers. Everything is going fine until one day the those that
have been searching for him finally find him and Atticus decides after
centuries of hiding he is tired and if they want Fragarach, his magical sword
known as the Answerer, they will have to come through him. Turning this into an
action packed novel from the beginning.
I picked this one up thinking maybe I
could get my husband to read it with me on our trip. He hates to read but he
will listen to audio books with me on occasion, what I never expected was to
open a can of worms with this novel. Not only did I love this book and find
myself laughing until I cried but so did my husband! This series is full of
action and comedy, but it also pulls on your heart strings at moments making
this a well-rounded and amazing read. I have no idea how Kevin Gearne came up
with his mish mash of characters, from Oberon the poodle obsessed dog, to the
sexy bartender possessed by a Hindu Witch the cast of characters is eccentric
yet lovable and make the book so much fun you cannot put it down. I highly
recommend the audio book version of this novel just for the narration, Luke
Daniels truly brings to life the characters especially Oberon who is now my
absolute favorite.
