Hexed by Kevin HearneMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Jacket Blurb: 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.
Book number two rocked. These books are like a bag of kettlecorn or cheesy popcorn - they go down way too fast and leave you wishing you had bought the next book/bag.
Hexed follows the same premise as the first installment - someone wants Atticus dead and he's determined to stay alive. Atticus gathers his friends and they go off to do battle. In between fighting giant wheel bugs, fallen angels, and witches sporting the 1980's punk rock look and carrying hand guns, Oberon (Atticus's trusty wolfhound) has some insight into sticking it to The Man.
This book hits the ground running and doesn't stop until the last nasty is dead. It's fun, it's sad, it's frequently over the top (that's urban fantasy), and it's perfect for when you've had a no good, very bad, not nice day and need something light and fun. Or if your traveling. Or if your snowed it. Or if it's a perfectly nice day and you can sit on the porch and avoid mowing the lawn.
If you like urban fantasy - highly recommended.
