For a two-thousand-year-old Druid, Atticus O??Sullivan is a pretty fast runner. Good thing, because he??s being chased by not one but two goddesses of the hunt??Artemis and Diana??for messing with one of their own. Dodging their slings and arrows, Atticus, Granuaile, and his wolfhound Oberon are making a mad dash across modern-day Europe to seek help from a friend of the Tuatha Dé Danann. His usual magical option of shifting planes is blocked, so instead of playing hide-and-seek, the game plan is . . . run like hell.
Crashing the pantheon marathon is the Norse god Loki. Killing Atticus is the only loose end he needs to tie up before unleashing Ragnarok??AKA the Apocalypse. Atticus and Granuaile have to outfox the Olympians and contain the god of mischief if they want to go on living??and still have a world to live in.

Includes Kevin Hearne??s novella ??Two Ravens and One Crow? in the back of the book

??Hunted is the best by far! . . . Storytelling doesn??t get much better than this, folks. The author has caught lightning (pun intended) in a bottle and he keeps doing it again, and again.

A little different feel to this one - felt more like The Amazing Race. That's not a bad thing, as this story was pretty exciting and nearly non-stop action. Big changes in this book - bad, good and hmmm.... ( )

Þokkaleg fantasía um drúídann Atticus sem glímir sem fyrr við ýmsa guði margvíslegra trúarbragða. Helsti kostur sögunnar er að hún tekur sig ekkert of alvarlega og er með léttan húmor. ( )

I love this series, getting a little nervous now that I'm almost caught up. Well, the books are too good to space them out so off to get book 7 :)

Strongly recommend for folks who love magic, mythology, sarcasm in the face of death, all set in modern day times. ( )

This is one of those weird series that I thoroughly enjoy when I'm reading it, but can easily put off picking up the next book for long, long stretches of time. However, since this book fits a number of Halloween Bingo squares, it seemed like the perfect time to get further along.

Atticus is being hunted across Europe by Diana and Artemis for his perceived crimes against Bacchus in the previous book. All the pantheons have agreed to neither help nor hinder the chase and are using it as a form of entertainment. Interspersed throughout are random drop-ins by Loki, recently escaped from his eternal punishment and bat-sh*t crazy.

I like the way Hearne creates an overall story arch about how the road to hell can be paved with good intentions. Atticus' loyalty to his friends (good thing) results in the bringing about of Ragnorok (very bad thing), and now he's trying to atone for his sins.

It's a good read; fast paced, well written, and I like the characters. For me, though I never rave over them, the Iron Druid chronicles always offer up a solid, entertaining read.

I'm using this one for the Cryptozoology Square for Halloween Bingo 2018. ( )

It's odd how when you feel safe you can't think of that thing it was you kept meaning to do, but when you're running for your life you suddenly remember the entire list of things you never got around to doing.

Book description
For a 2,000-year-old Druid, Atticus O’Sullivan is a pretty fast runner. Good thing, because he’s being chased by not one but two goddesses of the hunt - Artemis and Diana - for messing with one of their own. Dodging their slings and arrows, Atticus, Granuaile, and his wolfhound Oberon are making a mad dash across modern-day Europe to seek help from a friend of the Tuatha Dé Danann. His usual magical option of shifting planes is blocked, so instead of playing hide-and-seek, the game plan is...run like hell.

Crashing the pantheon marathon is the Norse god Loki. Killing Atticus is the only loose end he needs to tie up before unleashing Ragnarok - AKA the Apocalypse. Atticus and Granuaile have to outfox the Olympians and contain the god of mischief if they want to go on living - and still have a world to live in.
