    About this audiobook

    The perfect scary-with-romance read after you've binged Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, HEXED is about a teen witch with a shadowy future . . . it's Bring it On meets The Craft in a spellbinding series debut.

    Indie Blackwood is a popular cheerleader with a football-star boyfriend. On the surface, her life looks perfect. But when a guy dies right before her eyes and an ancient family Bible is stolen, Indie's world spirals into darkness. Turns out, Indie has a destiny. And it involves much more than pom-poms and parties. 
    If she doesn't get the Bible back, every witch on the planet will die. And that's seriously bad news for Indie, because according to Bishop, the hot warlock who has an uncanny knowledge of everything that matters, she's a witch too.
    Indie is about to uncover the many dark truths about her life-and a future unlike any she ever imagined on top of the cheer pyramid.

      Oh, procrastination. I should have been learning for my next exam all this time, but I mostly spent it reading this book and doing other things.

      Well, the book isn't too bad. I found it a bit less funny than the first one, but I'll still keep reading the series. I really like the interactions between Atticus and Oberon, and his Apprentice and the visiting gods are always great fun, too.

      All in all, I'm still looking forward to reading the next book, although I do not know if it would be unwise to begin on it today, since I still need to do some learning. In theory.

      Procrastination. Let's begin with the next book.
    • 4/5
      Reviewed by: Rabid ReadsFor centuries, Atticus has been lying low trying to stay under the Tuatha Dé Danann's radar but after what went down in Hounded that's no longer an option. Oddly enough, instead of lining up to kill him, the old Gods want to enlist his help to dispatch some of their own foes. Hexed is another action-packed installment in Hearne's The Iron Druid Chronicles; full of demon hunting, manipulative Celtic goddesses and witchy magic. You can't go wrong with this series on audio; both the writing and the narration are phenomenal. A definite must!I love how versatile Luke Daniels' narration is; he's a pro at transitioning from one character to the next and does a great job of giving each of them a distinct voice with the help of accents, pitch and tone. I especially enjoyed his Coyote persona because he absolutely nailed the Southern twang and slower paced dialogue. His interpretation of Oberon never fails to bring a smile to my face and I think Daniels' has Atticus' POV down to a tee. I was relieved to hear him pronounce "Roosevelt" correctly this time around but he did botch "nocked" (as in an arrow) a few times which was a mild irritant.The mythology, multiple plot threads and scheming characters help ensure that this book is never dull. There's even a bit of sex in this installment, just probably not the fun kind you're thinking of! Needless to say, the Celtic Chooser of the Slain and the Goddess of War's tastes are anything but vanilla. However, she's not the only Tuatha Dé Danann who's vying for Atticus' attention; Brighid, the Goddess of poetry, fire, and the forge also wants a piece of the druid pie. Oberon still continues to be the star of this series; from his bath time adventures to his doggy humor, I just can't get enough of his POV. As a dog owner I've often wondered what goes on inside their heads and these books do a great job of playing off of that. Atticus comes in second on my list of favourite Iron Druid Chronicles characters; I love how he can talk circles around practically anyone and, can often times diffuse a volatile situation with logic and reason. However, when all else fails there's always Fragarach or in this case... RPGs! Hexed combines intense action with quick-witted humour to create an entertaining experience that's truly unique. Kevin Hearne and Luke Daniels are quickly becoming one of my favourite audiobook duos; together they transform Atticus' story into an irresistible, full-bodied adventure.
    • 4/5
      This was fast paced but fun. I really love Oberon and Atticus together.
    • 4/5
      As one reviewer pointed out there does seem to be some unconscious sexism here. The female characters tend to either need Atticus's protection, or be kinda evil. Then again, while the male characters tend to be self sufficient, they're not always the most helpful folks in the universe. All that does emphasize how much Atticus is backed into a corner, which lets us see him squirm his way to his goals.

      I still have quite the literary crush of the good Druid :)
    • 4/5
      Still liking the series... onward and upward!
    • 4/5
      I liked this one but not as much as the first book in the series. This one really falls somewhere between 3 and 4 stars for me but I have decided to go ahead and round up. I was really excited to get back to the series after enjoying the first book in the series. This is definitely a series that needs to be read in order since this book picks up shortly after the events of the previous installment. This ended up being another enjoyable listen.One of the things that I loved the most about the first book was the characters. I was really happy to see all of the key players back for this installment in the series. There were a few new characters that were rather impressive as well. I really like Atticus. He is incredibly patient and able to determine the best course of action in most situations. I love that he has adapted to the present time better than most of the other that have lived a very long time. Oberon is such a wonderful character and anytime he was a part of a scene I usually had a big grin on my face.This book has all of the excitement that I had hoped to see. Atticus has to team with the local witch coven when bad things start happening. Atticus has several problems that he is juggling during the story and somehow he makes it all seem easy. This book balanced the action very nicely against some of the lighter moments in the book.Luke Daniels continues to do a fantastic job with the narration of this series. He does such a great job with all of the character voices and adds a lot of emotion to story. His portrayal of Oberon is simply outstanding. I couldn't imagine an intelligent Wolfhound sounding any other way. I had not problem listening to this one for hours at a time.I would recommend this series to others. It is a very unique series that contains the perfect combination of humor, action, and thought provoking mystery. I can't wait to read more of this wonderful series.
    • 4/5
      Still good; I think I'll get along w/Atticus for a while.
    • 1/5
      I tried. I tried so hard to get into this series. I made it to the second book. But the world building is falling flat, and the protagonist.
    • 5/5
      Oh, how I love Kevin Hearne! His imagination is colorful and has an endless wit. And his wonderful vocabulary makes me do a happy dance! I love to read and I love to get involved with a series even more but I don't want to hang my head in embarrassment because of a tacky cover or the fact that I've chosen to read an author that has no depth and a grade school vocabulary. No problem with this series. It's a class act!
    • 4/5
      This is the second Iron Druid book but I read the first one so many years ago that a quick Wikipedia check was all I needed to get back on board. Atticus O'Sullivan is an ancient Druid who draws his magical powers from the earth. And some witches are trying to kill him. This is a lot of fun, sort of a lighter Dresden Files. There's a bit of wish fulfillment (good lord how many drop-dead gorgeous women are there in Arizona?) but by and large it's just a fun little magic romp. Looking forward to the next one.
    • 4/5
      Hexed by Kevin Hearne is the second in the Iron Druid Chronicles. It was another highly entertaining read. And so funny! Events pick up just days after the big show down at the end of book one. Atticus has had time to mostly heal and is now dealing with the fallout of those events. There's the matter of cleaning up the few demons that escaped and a group of Bacchants from Las Vegas has come to town to (literally) tear up the local club scene. Plus a new group of witches is in town, ones Atticus has run into before on the German side of WWII. He's decided to do something he never thought he would - sign an nonaggression treaty with the local coven of witches. Perhaps with a little help from his friends he can get it all taken care of and start healing the land.Oberon is hands down my favorite character. He gets some of the best lines. The conversations between Oberon and Atticus had me laughing out loud. The fact that he speaks telepathically making it so that almost no one else can hear which causes Atticus to attempt to keep a straight face during conversations adds to the fun. It's also neat that the author gives Oberon a "theme" for each book.Hearne is starting to branch out and mix in other mythologies. The Native American god Coyote makes an appearance and lives up to his trickster ways. Eastern European witchcraft lore is further explained. He even manages to work in the Virgin Mary and some Kabbalah. Everyone from all the pantheons hates Thor which I'm pretty sure is a set up for book 3 since it's titled Hammered. My least favorite part is when the two Celtic goddesses make their appearance. They just didn't fit very well into this book's plot for me so I'm sure that's also a set up for something in the future.Again I listened to the audio book narrated by Luke Daniels. His performance continues to be top notch. As long as they keep Daniels as the voice actor I'll be continuing this series on audio.
    • 4/5
      Fun. I liked getting to know the witches and the attorneys better. I love the conversations with the dog. Liked the descriptions re the three story building assault. Interesting with the witch from NC who will divorce her new husband. Scary re the witches from LV with pointy teeth at the dance club. Lots of bodies piling up in this series.The character makes me think of what Harry Dresden might be like in twenty centuries. Love the widow. The gods-meh. But I like Coyote.
    • 5/5
      Excellent book.. Love this author!
    • 5/5
      I enjoyed listening to this second book in the Iron Druids Chronicles. Atticus O'Sullivan continues to be dragged into events despite his overwhelming desire to remain hidden. The supernatural machinations continue with Atticus trying to play catch-up. The characters and storyline are well developed. Highly recommend!
    • 4/5
      I greatly enjoyed this second go-round from Kevin Hearne. The Character of Atticus is more fleshed out, as are the friends and foes he picked up along the way in the first book. This installment also introduces crazy secret sects, demon-humping witch interlopers, and party girls from hell.
    • 3/5
      The originality of the first didn't quite carry over. Will give the next in the series a try.
    • 3/5
      The narrator wasnt the best so i couldnt really enjoy the book. But i hope the second one is better.
    • 4/5
      These books are such wonderful fun! They're exactly what urban fantasy should be - great story, wonderful paranormal creatures and lots of humor and sarcasm. I read the first book but listened to this second one on audiobook and Luke Daniel's narration is brilliant. I will definitely be listening to the rest of the series. And Oberon is probably my favorite dog in fiction. He might even be as cool as Scooby-Doo.
    • 4/5
      I accidentally read this one out of order, (read #3 before #2), and it didn't seem to make much difference although it did flesh things out more. I liked the story but it seems like in all of these books the journey is more enjoyable than the final battle. Still fun and still worth the read.
    • 5/5
      Really enjoying these. Next up Hammered
    • 5/5
      I enjoyed listening to this second book in the Iron Druids Chronicles. Atticus O'Sullivan continues to be dragged into events despite his overwhelming desire to remain hidden. The supernatural machinations continue with Atticus trying to play catch-up. The characters and storyline are well developed. Highly recommend!
    • 3/5
      I listened to the first on on audio, but read this - the second in the series. While I liked the narrator, I do think I enjoy reading these more than listening.

      This is a fun series. I love the tiny little nuggets of subtle connection that the author leaves sprinkled throughout the book - usually references to other books. The Oberon (dog) character is really well-done.

      This book falls into a category of books I'll call "fun stories". Not great literature, but just good and solid storytelling. A fun premise for a story, some solid characters, and a story well-done.

      It might be written with young-adult male readers in mind, though I'm not sure I'd suggest it for under 16.
    • 4/5
      It's such a nice change of pace to read an urban fantasy novel told from a man's first-person POV, although I find it interesting that this story has more violence and less romance than the many urban fantasy novels I've read that were narrated by female characters. I don't know if the authors are themselves fulfilling gender stereotypes or if they're using these stereotypical elements to appeal to who they imagine their target audience to be.

      I particularly love Oberon, Atticus's telepathic Irish Wolfhound, although his obsession with French Poodles gets a bit tiresome after a while. But the audiobook narrator does a great job with the voice for Oberon, conveying both his intelligence and his goofiness.
    • 3/5
      I listened to this on audio and continue to generally love the narration with the exception of the freaking Wisconsin woman sounding like she's right out of Fargo! The plot however wanders greatly and Hexed generally feels like a set up for the rest of the series.
    • 3/5
      Book 2 did not impress me at all. There was less Oberon. Atticus is really starting to wear on me. He is very sexist. I also felt the book left loose ends. They were small. For example, did the cops ever do anything with Atticus about Perry? Yes we know how Perry died from Atticus talking to the good witches. The author made a point to bring up the detectives name several times. It was like he meant to do more with him.
    • 4/5
      It's hard to rate Kevin Hearne's books. They're really all in the 3.5-4 range, so I'll rate my favorites a 4. Oberon is probably my favorite character.
    • 4/5
      Just as much fun as the first in the series! This kept me going through several walks on the treadmill, and I did lots of laughing out loud, particularly at anything Oberon had to say. Love that dog.
    • 5/5
      This is the second book in the Iron Druid series and just as much fun as the first. Although I don't know why we call fun stories in which multiple people are killed, tortured or injured, these still manage to have a light-hearted feel to them. This is probably thanks in great part to Oberon, Atticus' wolfhound, and once again I didn't mark the section with Oberon's remarks I wanted to quote and can't find it now. I quite liked Mark del Franco's 6 book druid series about Connor Grey, due in part to his mastery and appropriate application of Celtic mythology and in part to its having a definite story arc which came to a satisfying conclusion at the end of the series. However, Connor was an injured Druid trying to heal his powers. Atticus, on the other hand, is a mature Druid in full control of his powers and dealing with a much more eclectic world in which all mythologies and magic systems can and do appear. This makes for some very interesting situations with a lot of potential for story lines.
    • 4/5
      As good as the first book in the series. Maybe even better. The funny and interesting read.
    • 4/5
      Atticus finds himself faced with new enemies, for rather unclear reasons (though some become clearer later on). Unfortunately, a lot of his allies are either also under attack or uninterested in aiding him on this one, so he has to take some different angles. Some of the deals he has to make are going to come back and bite him (which he knows perfectly well, but he doesn't see any other choice). We learn a bit more about his past, and why he reacts the way he does to certain events; Granuaile develops a little more, as a Druid apprentice and as a character, too. As enjoyable as Hounded, and I immediately moved on to the next book.
