We don't talk anymore


9595650Hexed by Kevin Hearne


Atticus O’Sullivan, last of the Druids, doesn’t care much for witches. Still, he’s about to make nice with the local coven by signing a mutually beneficial nonaggression treaty--when suddenly the witch population in modern-day Tempe, Arizona, quadruples overnight. And the new girls are not just bad, they’re badasses with a dark history on the German side of World War II.

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.

I'm still enjoying the series but I find (and maybe I'm alone in this oddity of mine) 
myself wishing the main character could have some fun and R & R before the battle armor has to be donned. Or even time for a nice conversation over a cup of tea, which he makes in his bookstore so its not much of a stretch.

The precise reason I enjoyed book one a bit more was because there was less action and a lot more getting to know the everyday world of the character. This book has lots of strife and obstacles to stare down (which keeps a plot interesting) but keeps me a nervous Nelly. Putting all my reading peculiarities aside this is some solid, entertaining, writing. For fans in the know, I liken the readability of these books to Jim Butcher's series, The Dresden Files.
