My Thoughts:
We pick up pretty
much right after the events of Hounded and again Atticus is dealing with multiple
problems: witches, nasty Bacchants, two men, a priest and a rabbi demanding to
see Atticus’ rare books, the Morrigan, Brighid, and the police. It’s not as confusing
as it sounds and Atticus, with his trusty hound Oberon, deftly handles all of
it!
So many laughs,
many from Atticus’ exchanges with his best friend Oberon, his faithful Irish wolfhound,
several with the widow Mrs. MacDonagh. Love her! Granuaile helps in a few tricky spots with the
police as she continues her Druid training, and Atticus deals with his
attraction to her. I have mixed feelings on Granuaile
this second time through.
I re-read
*listened* Hexed for Anne's @Books of My Heart read-along (you can sign up HERE) and it was just as good as the first time! Again, I ended
up listening to the whole book in a 24-hour period of time. I forget how much I
loved this series! Clever, laugh-out-loud funny, and action-packed! Never
a dull moment and such a good time! Looking forward to the next one!
4.5 Stars
Book Description:
Atticus O'Sullivan, last of the Druids, doesn't care much for witches. Still, he's about to make nice with the local coven by signing a mutually beneficial nonaggression treaty when suddenly the witch population in modern-day Tempe, Arizona, quadruples overnight. And the new girls are not just bad, they're badasses with a dark history on the German side of World War II.
With a fallen angel feasting on local high school students, a horde of Bacchants blowing in from Vegas with their special brand of deadly decadence, and a dangerously sexy Celtic goddess of fire vying for his attention, Atticus is having trouble scheduling the witch hunt. But aided by his magical sword, his neighbor's rocket-propelled grenade launcher, and his vampire attorney, Atticus is ready to sweep the town and show the witchy women they picked the wrong Druid to hex.
IKR? I always want to read the next one RIGHT NOW. But I am spacing things out over the year. I'm loving this series and my personal rating was also 4.5 hearts. Thank you so much for sharing your review and reading with us. I hope you may be able to do the chat Sunday. I think it's noon your time.
