Description
In the second novel in the New York Times bestselling Iron Druid Chronicles, two thousand-year-old Druid Atticus O’Sullivan faces off against witches, Bacchants, and a ravenous fallen angel.
“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
Atticus O’Sullivan has had cause to mistrust witches in his storied past, but he’s willing to live and let live with the Sisters of the Three Auroras, a legendary local coven, even going so far as to sign a non-aggression treaty with them. But that treaty is tested immediately when a deadly new coven sweeps into town seeking to take over, along with some Bacchants from Las Vegas and a fallen angel who’s decided to snack on high school students like they were trail mix.
It’s more than Atticus can handle alone and he must enlist the trickster Coyote, the headhopping abilities of the witch Laksha Kulesekaran, and his neighbor’s illegal arsenal if he wants to keep the city safe from diabolical takeover. He must also exchange favors with his vampire attorney, Leif Helgarson, in a deal that might prove to be the worst of his long life—for Leif doesn’t want to be paid by the hour.
To defeat the mortal hexes of this new coven and keep his apprentice—and his city—safe, Atticus must think fast, make promises, keep his sword handy, and hope he’ll survive to fight another day.

5By Scott11024Great book and great series. Couldn’t put it down. Action packed with plenty of humor.Pg 74?
1By nikknakk7I bought the book $4.99, and it ended at page 74, chapter 3? I went back and downloaded it again but the same thing happened. Just kept prompting me to “write a review”. It would be nice to have to books in its entirety. 😒I like this series
3By DavidsheadIf you enjoyed book one, get ready to enjoy book two!Hexed
5By NomadInc!A masterfully created web of intrigue, interspersed with humor, lustful goddess and of course Oberon. An excellent read that I found most difficult to put down, even when it was after midnight and I had to be awake for the day at 7am. Well worth the price, I will be purchasing all the "iron Druid" series, for mine and my families reading enjoyment.Awesome
5By AlliayhaAs the second book in this series we still live Atticus as his character is developed. Maturity? Nope not yet, but responsibility is definately the order for the day.Iron Druid
3By MayedoGreat imagination, poor writing. Nothing more to say.I've really missed Zelazny... Until know!
5By Hammered PenI haven't had so much fun reading since I first discovered Roger Zelazny. Hearne is entertaining and funny while weaving a great story filled with historical reference tied with popular culture. I highly recommend and look forward to continuing in the series.Outstanding!
5By Weirdly wiredI love this new author and his imaginative series. If you like Jim Butcher's snarky humor and Patrick Rothsfuss' adept word smithing, you'll adore this series too. I want to snuggle with Oberon and Atticus! Keep them coming Kevin! I want more!The improper way to develop a series
3By Health and Safety ManagerIt really aggregates me that an author, a talented one at that, takes a novel of average length then splits it into several small, overpriced, 500-600 page short stories then calls it a series. The first three books should have been ONE novel. If the writer and/or publisher insist in doing so, then don't charge full price for what is in essence a small short story. That said, I really did enjoy the short story's which I found similar to the writings of Jim Butcher. The three stars is solely for the marketing ploy, and price gouging.Thank you!
5By SinasterplsMy daughter wanted me to buy the first book so she could have her English Teacher sign it. I meant to read just a few pages - and finished it in 3 days ... She had to wait for her signature, ha ha. Hexed was just as enjoyable - fun characters I wish I could meet in real life. I hate waiting ... I think the next book I should try to stretch out so I don't imbibe too fast. Maybe ---- only reading at Rula Bula over pints of Guinness. What a great idea to create this world right here in the Valley of the Sun. Thanks, Mr. Hearne - for being such a wonderful influence to Lyzi this past year and writing such wonderful stories for us to enjoy together.
