“That’s what a skinwalker is: a mean asshole with a meaner spirit squatting inside.” Tricked (Iron Druid Chronicles #4) by Kevin Hearne This by far was another great read in the Iron Druid Chronicles! I do have to say that although I have enjoyed every book completely, Tricked has been one of my favorites. Tricked (book 4) follows the aftermath of the battle in Asguard against Thor. Due to certain events this causes Atticus to once again be on the run and hide from those who wish to see him dead...again. Coyote, a minor sub character, also becomes a major player in this story due to a deal made between Atticus and him. Of course, Coyote being the trickster that he is, the plan does not go according to plan leaving tons of hair raising scenes where you cannot resist the urge to put the book down. Several elements of this story make it so enjoyable. To start with, and anyone who has read a Kevin Hearne book already knows this, is his writing style makes the story. Completely modern, no censor, "I totally wrote whatever popped into my head style"; its fantastic! Next, I like where the storyline is going with Atticus and apprentice Grunualie. It seems like they are getting ready to really focus on in her training of becoming a new Druid, which as a reader I'm very curious to see more of that. And then there is Oberon, my favorite characters of all! For those who are unfamiliar with the Iron Druid Chronicles, Oberon is talking Irish Wolf Hound who is Atticus favorite companion. The comments that come out of his month, oh man! That's worth reading for alone. Oberon has comments where you are constantly laughing out loud and people around stare at you like your crazy. It's so great! “Granuaile looked terminally depressed when she emerged from the bathroom with raven hair and, as a result rather Goth by accident. She didn't want to get her picture taken. The ending to Tricked was a happy one, but it did not leave you with a giant cliff hanger, which almost felt like a relief. Overall the series will have 9 books total with book 9 being written as we speak! Generally, the books range from 300 to 400 pages, so if you like to binge books, this series is pretty much complete :] Happy reading! Why read this book/series? Talking Irish wolf hound...need I say more? Rating: 5 Stars! Author - BobbiI'm a metalhead who happens to love spongebob and vampires.
