Description
In the third novel in the New York Times bestselling Iron Druid Chronicles, two-thousand year-old Druid Atticus O’Sullivan must take down the Norse god of thunder himself.
“A page-turning and often laugh-out-loud-funny caper through a mix of the modern and the mythic.”—Ari Marmell, author of The Warlord’s Legacy
When the naysayers say, “Nay, don’t mess with the man who wields the lightning bolts,” ninety-nine times out of a hundred, the ancient Druid Atticus O’Sullivan would nod along and agree. But when multiple people convince him that Thor, the Norse god of thunder, needs to get got, he thinks maybe this is the one time he should ignore the advice of the wise—even if those sages include deities who tend not to be wrong about very much.
Because Thor has undeniably done somebody wrong—many somebodies, in fact, and Atticus doesn’t think he can simply dismiss it as someone else’s problem. Plus he has made promises that he doesn’t feel he can break, promises that will take him away from Midgard to the planes of the Norse, where his actions will create ripples throughout the nine realms.
On top of that there’s a turf war brewing amongst the vampires, a zealous group of mystic hunters called the Hammers of God running rampant, and a pack of werewolves who very much don’t wish to see their leader taken off to Valhalla.
In order to avoid being the nail underneath the hammer Mjöllnir, Atticus will need every ounce of Irish luck he can muster, and maybe the help of a few deities in his corner.

Reviews
A Funny Fantasy
5By Jandbg15Kevin has his act together when writing about the alternate universe as seen through the eyes of the last Druid on earth. I have read three of his books and will read more. He’s a cool Druid.Meh.
2By SatanicpuppyCaveat: I'm old and picky. I kept waiting for the loose storytelling to tighten up, and it never happened. I suppose I've lost my taste for heavy-handed exposition, and self-indulgent Shakespearian soliloquy. Hearne has a good voice and a decent *idea* but I've grown tired of waiting for it to mature.Fun read.
5By Qrsg6473Liked it. Reminds me of others but different. Great story telling.Triple Nonfat Double Five-Cheese Mocha!
5By EPKwokGreat book! Kevin Hearne takes you twist and turns and keeps you entranced until you can't wait for the next book. If you can't find a reason to read this book and the rest of the series, read it for Oberon Khan!Hammered
5By DrewcarronThe third book in the Iron Druid series does not disappoint. I have flown through this book like I did it's predecessors. Really looking forward to the next one. Very entertaining stuff!Awesome
5By Dr_StevenWhat a great and fun story. Well worth the read. From the first through this book I read each one faster and faster as I was unable to put it down. Great fantasy, good action, and humor.Smooth read!
5By Scott from the sandboxI bought the paperback version of "Hounded" while coming back from a deployment, I was going to give it to my son, but for some reason I decided to read it to just pass the time, after the first chapter I was hooked! I could not wait to read the next two! I down loaded Hexed, and then Hounded as soon as they became available on iBooks. When I found out there was "bonus stories" on the e-book version, I down loaded Hounded just to get more! Keep them coming Kevin!
