About the book:
Hounded
Iron Druid Chronicles, #1
Kevin Hearne
Atticus O’Sullivan, last of the Druids, lives peacefully in Arizona, running an occult bookshop and shape-shifting in his spare time to hunt with his Irish wolfhound. His neighbors and customers think that this handsome, tattooed Irish dude is about twenty-one years old—when in actuality, he’s twenty-one centuries old. Not to mention: He draws his power from the earth, possesses a sharp wit, and wields an even sharper magical sword known as Fragarach, the Answerer.
Unfortunately, a very angry Celtic god wants that sword, and he’s hounded Atticus for centuries. Now the determined deity has tracked him down, and Atticus will need all his power—plus the help of a seductive goddess of death, his vampire and werewolf team of attorneys, a sexy bartender possessed by a Hindu witch, and some good old-fashioned luck of the Irish—to kick some Celtic arse and deliver himself from evil.

Looking forward to doing the read-along :)
Glad you’ll be joining us! :)
Yea baby! ♥
I’m so excited for this!
I’ve never heard of these, but I am now suitably intrigued. I don’t have a specific challenge for March so I just might have to join…
*gasp* So good! Join us!!!!
WOO HOO!!!! So excited for this! I’ve heard such good things about this series, and Jen surprised me with book one during the holidays so I’m very much looking forward to meeting Atticus:)
Yay! Hounded is so much fun!
Uhm, joining in. Duh.
excited ;)
Awesome! :)
Just bought my copy. I scare myself…I’m so excited.
hahaha. There are worse things to be scared of, I suppose. =P
For the love of Geeks!
*huggles* I’m excited for this!
I adore this series and can’t wait to chat about it with you all. Yay, Atticus!
It will be fun! I love Hounded! And Atticus. ;)
Does this read-a-long work for people in South America? Can I get these on a reader? :)
Yes! I know that Hounded is available as a Kindle book, though I don’t know how it works in other countries.
I ordered Hounded so I would have it in time for this. I figured I would do it now before you had a chance to bully me into it ;)
Ah. So now just the threat of bullying is enough. Good to know. ;)
