Hexed (The Iron Druid Chronicles #2)
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.
Reread: 20173.5 stars Part of the appeal of these books (for me, at least) is that druids haven't oversaturated the market yet. I mean, name one romance novel with a sexy druid as the leading man. ....See? I'm not saying it's impossible, but if you managed to do it, you probably had to think about it for a minute. Oh, and I'm also not saying Hexed is a romance novel! It's not. I just meant that once a magical person/place/thing hits romance novel status you're pretty much sick of the sight of
I was hesitant to bring this up in my last review because I thought it was just me - I thought I was reading too much into these novels. But I don't think so anymore and the issue is ruining my enjoyment of an otherwise good series.You see, this series is terribly sexist - yet it's all so subversive that it was hard to pin at first.There are many, many female characters. Normally, I'd consider this a good thing. However we can effectively separate them into categories.Harmless, likable and a sex
I listened to the narration of this book and did not finish the book. I stopped around chapter 13 or so.Positives: The narration is decent. I liked the inclusion of Coyote. I think he is a great character. I enjoy his presence in other books by other authors, this one was not an exception. Atticus and Oberon are mildly entertaining. The scene where Oberon talks to Atticus about life and death and Atticus tells the readers that he has been artificially prolonging Oberons life was very moving.
***Wanda's Summer Festival of Reading Fluff*** Second books are always difficult. How do you live up to the expectations generated by a good first book? Despite the fact that I have given book two the same rating as book one, there were a few disappointments in the second installment.First, there is not nearly enough of Oberon, the wolfhound. His character made the first book for me and although he features prominently in book two, his page time had been cut down. I miss all his dopey doggy

I am enjoying this series and the main character Atticus. Needless to say he finds himself having trouble with witches again and with a few other creatures and gods and goddesses.
