⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Was I hooked by that book? Absolutely. It’s always a good sign when a book leaves you with a huge smile on your face at the end.
Atticus is the last Druid standing, but his existence is in serious trouble. Centuries ago he had stolen a magical sword from a god on a battlefield and the god wants it back. Atticus has managed to stay out of harm’s way by hiding and moving around all the time. Now, finally, he realizes that he has to make a stand and resolve the issue once and for all.
MY THOUGHTS
I am reading this series as part of the read-along hosted by Books Of My Heart.
Atticus attracted a strange assortment of Fae and gods to his side, and it gave truth to the saying, “With friends like these, who needs enemies.”
I truly enjoyed Hounded. I would have read it for the excellent writing alone, but luckily it came with outstanding world-building and a compelling story. The dialogue was witty and fun and the rich cast of characters were all well developed.
The point is, Mrs. MacDonagh, that the universe is exactly the size that your soul can encompass. Some people live in extremely small worlds, and some live in a world of infinite possibility.
It’s not my usual romance fare, but if you like fantasy and magic with action galore, then I can highly recommend this book. I’m looking forward to reading the rest of the series.

Thanks for taking a step outside your comfort zone. I think the series will be really fun. Thank you also for sharing your review. I hope to see you on the chat.
I’m not sure yet what my Sunday is going to look like, but I will try my best to join the chat.
This is the second time through for me and I loved Hounded just as much as the first time. The series continues to be one of my favorite UFs nine years later. I’m thrilled you enjoyed this with it being a little out of your usual romance read. The humor and wit is wonderful!
I had read Hounded once before (about 10 years ago), but I loved listening to the audiobook this time around! I agree, the writing is witty and the dialogue is sparkling. I especially love Oberon.
I love that this left a huge smile on your face
I’m definitely hooked by the book! I didn’t know of the author or book, but I found it thoroughly enjoyable and, like you, I’m looking forward to more.

That’s great. I didn’t know about this before either. Hope you also enjoy the rest of the series.
I love that you joined this readalong and enjoyed the book!
I’ve heard of this series, but haven’t read it myself. I am glad to hear you enjoyed it so much!
Yeah, this is all new to me too.
I wanted to read Hounded in the time slotted for the read-along. Unfortunately, it didn’t work out.
That’s too bad.
