Introduction

The first novel in the Iron Druid Chronicles—introducing a cool, new, funny urban fantasy hero

Atticus O’Sullivan, last of the Druids, lives peacefully in Arizona, running an occult bookshop and shape-shifting in his spare time to hunt with his Irish wolfhound. His neighbors and customers think that this handsome, tattooed Irish dude is about twenty-one years old—when in actuality, he’s twenty-one centuries old. Not to mention: He draws his power from the earth, possesses a sharp wit, and wields an even sharper magical sword known as Fragarach, the Answerer.

Unfortunately, a very angry Celtic god wants that sword, and he’s hounded Atticus for centuries. Now the determined deity has tracked him down, and Atticus will need all his power—plus the help of a seductive goddess of death, his vampire and werewolf team of attorneys, a bartender possessed by a Hindu witch, and some good old-fashioned luck of the Irish—to kick some Celtic arse and deliver himself from evil.

  "Hounded"by Carmen M. (see profile) 10/03/14

Hounded is not the typical book club read. I'd recommend it to push people outside their normal "comfort" zone into a unique, current day novel that brings in a little bit of everything.

While this was a relatively short book, it was a difficult read. The glossary at the front is the first clue. Gaelic pronunciation is nothing close to the spelling and I had to keep returnin... (read more)
