The Iron Druid Chronicles: What it’s all about
Atticus O’Sullivan runs an herbal & occult bookshop in Arizona. He can shape-shift, and although he looks about twenty-one, he’s really twenty-one centuries old and is one of the last Druids.
Urban fantasy is a genre I’ve enjoyed for a while. Two of my favorites of the genre are Jim Butcher and Karen Marie Moning.
If you’re not sure what urban fantasy is, see this article on urban fantasy at wikipedia.
I saw the books in this Kevin Hearne series when I was looking up a Jim Butcher book. I’ve heard these books appeal to Jim Butcher fans and the descriptions sound interesting.
Book 1: Hounded
Atticus takes on the angry Celtic god of love, Aenghus Óg, who wants Atticus’ magical sword.
Book 2: Hexed
Atticus takes on some badass witches.
Book 3: Hammered
It’s time for Atticus to make good on some promises, and to do that, he’ll have to take on Thor and his lightning bolts!
Book 4: Tricked
Atticus battles Skinwalkers and betrayal.
