Another excellent entry in the series. The druids are hunted by a pantheon of gods (thanks for that Bacchus) and seem to find themselves in some pretty tight spots. The biggest problem it seems is that some of the gods seem to be in a ‘smite first, ask questions later’ kind of mood. Oh, and said gods are immortal. Counter attack game plan out the window. Atticus, Oberon & Granuille have no choice but to run and try to survive the onslaught. I think I forgot to mention that Loki has escaped his p...

Our story picks up right where Trapped left off and listening to the narration of Luke Daniels provided an addictive tale that had me biting my nails, shedding a tear and wondering how Atticus would get them out of this mess. Aside from the hunt, Atticus has to worry about the Norse god Loki who seeks Atticus's death to unleash the end times known as Ragnarok. Prevented from accessing Tuatha Dé Danann our trio will have to outrun and outwit them all.We got to enjoy more time with Oberon and much...

Hunted is the sixth book of The Iron Druid Chronicles and it's still just as awesome as when I first started reading this series 2014. Atticus, Oberon, and Granuaile are one of my favorite bookish teams in urban fantasy. Mentally, this book really put me through the wringer - so much happens and, gasp, we even lose a major character. I loved getting more from Granuaile's perspective in this installment - I love her voice in comparison to Atticus. Plus, that epilogue was fantastic and I can't wai...

A merry adventure with my favorite millennial Atticus, new Druid, Granuaile and his wolfhound, Oberon. 9 of 10 stars

Atticus is PIE Well.... everyone else liked this one the most, but I liked it a little less. There was even a part that I skimmed. Still see 4 stars though, because Oberon was just as funny:"That is a noble idea, though I think it far to generous," Jupiter said. "Once a decade should be sufficient.""I would rather be too generous than not in such cases.""As you wish."[One day, Atticus was amazed to discover that when Jupiter said, "As you wish," what he really meant was "I love you."]*for tho

I came into this book riding a high still left in me by the last great book I devoured, and I am a fond fan of the Iron Druid chronicles.I mean, sure, I used to do it for killing time in between Jim Butchers, just like everyone else. But despite its flaws, it had grown on me on its own two feet, and I was now proudly counting it as one of my retainer fictions.And then I read HuntedOh jeez, where do I even begin in this catastrophe?Okay, let's start with what it did right: > The idea of a book lo...

3.65 stars rounded upPersonally, it was better than the last one but it still wasn't as entertaining as the previous 4.5 books. In my review for Trapped, my issues were due to the 12 years time jump and I didn't believe in the progress of Atticus and Granuaile's romance. Here, my issues would be with the too many gods coming towards Atticus (in order to kill him) or helped him. Yes, TOO many gods in one book! I loved the first trilogy because it introduced me to the gods one book at a time. But

this one sliped into what the hell realms.

I really want to take Atticus home and keep him. Even if he is over two thousand years old. This is such a good series. In this episode (number six) our two Druids really demonstrate their amazing powers, defeating Dark Elves, Olympic Gods, a Manticore, assorted fae and some really nasty sea serpents amongst many other weird and wonderful creatures. The book is action packed but still has time to be funny, usually when Oberon the wolfhound has things to say.In my review of the last book I believ...

One of the great things about the Iron Druid series is how every book matters. Not only do characters from earlier books return, but Atticus’ actions in one book influence how these characters feel about him later. Actions have repercussions, sometimes expected and other times surprising.The vast majority of Hunted is an elaborate chase sequence as Atticus, Granuaile and Oberon try to cross Europe while evading the pursuit of Artemis and Diana. They’re upset about how Atticus has trapped Bacchus...

You ever notice the rampant child neglect going on in fairy tales? 4.25 stars and my favorite installment to date. It's all a bit unconventional, but I love the kitchen-sink mythology going on here. You want to see your favorite god or myth represented? I can almost guarantee you'll find it in the Iron Druid Chronicles in one form or another. Norse gods? Native American legends? Fairy tales? That's a check, 1, 2, 3.Our happy druid-slash-dog team went through even more than usual this

Hunted is Kevin Hearne’s 2013 addition to his Iron Druid series, and it features Atticus’ and Granaile’s European vacation!sort of …not really …Here’s the thing - Atticus, Granuaile and telepathic WONDERDOG! Oberon are still trying to get Granuaile set up as a full scale, card carrying DRUID!! but because of the evil and tool-like machinations of the Roman god Bacchus, and help from an assortment of other mythological and occult antagonists, they cannot jump to Tir na nOg. Instead they are limit...

A new adventure, a new demon and a new druid?! Can someone turn this series into a movie because i can picture it so clearly in my head. The writing is descriptive and unique and as i listened to the series the accents and different voices Luke Daniels uses are wonderful and make the story really come to life!

Full review now posted!Olympians and Dark Elves and Vampires! Oh my!It takes a pretty enthralling story to have me glued to an audiobook and choosing to listen instead of reading a physical book on my own. Usually, audiobooks are for laundry and walking the dog and driving. At least, they are for me. So when I’m grabbing for my headphones at night instead of my Kindle, it’s obviously an incredibly addictive audiobook. This was one such book.The first Druidic apprentice in over a millennia has fi...

I thoroughly enjoyed the Iron Druid Series - at least what there is of it so far. I didn't read it - I listened to it. But it is very difficult not to route for Atticus. He meets so many interesting supernatural, mythological, and religious charactes. All realms are intertwined in these stories. Since I listened to it and didn't read it I am not sure of the spelling - but it is very difficult not to just fall for the sarcastic, hillarious, always starving Irish Wolfhound - Oberon. He is simply a...

This series is still fun, but it's not my favorite. The last three books especially have been mostly action, with Atticus, Granuaile, and Oberon on the run from the Greek and Roman pantheons. They have to stay alive while trying to figure out how to reach safety, who is passing information from their side to the Olympians, and how they can make peace so they can all just be left alone. A couple of things have me rounding this up from 3.5 stars, even though non-stop action isn't my thing. The fir...

Hunted is my least favorite of the Iron Druid series. I am feeling fatigued at the “Atticus and Granuaile, along with Oberon have to run for their lives from a band of angry gods while trying to prevent the Apocalypse” motif; this time it is Artemis and Diana hunting Atticus and company while Loki sees to release Ragnarok upon the world. The entire book was run, fight, fight again, sleep, run some more, and then repeat the entire process for 350 pages. As the series progresses I find Granuaile l...

DNF - audio version 14 minutes in.I just could not take any more of the narrator doing the dog's voice like that. Ho-ly shit that was annoying. Just...awful. I mean, I was hoping Atticus would have a cute Scottish/Irish/English accent, but no. <--very disappointing, if I'm being honest. But I wasn't expecting the dog to have an accent. Stupid is an accent, right? If Scooby-Doo slurred his words like a drunk hobo, he'd be the voice of this dog.Maybe I'll come back to this series when I have time

This review can also be found at https://carolesrandomlife.com/I enjoyed this book! I have been slowly working my way through this series over the past couple of years so I was eager to pick up this installment. It was so easy to slip back into this world and I had a great time going along on this adventure with Atticus, Granuaile, and Oberon. This is the sixth book in the series and I would recommend reading this series in order. I found this to be a very solid installment in the series and I w...

This book is not terrible, it's just not very good. We get the POV of Granuaile in small doses, but I did not like it. As a secondary character she works fine, but when Hearne tries to write from inside her head it becomes very apparent it's a man writing as a female. He attempts to not come off sexist by making her masculine and aggressive. Which, instead, comes off as pandering to women. The whole "I am woman, hear me roar" thing is really over played these days. Can't we just have a strong fe...
