This sounds like a good read....I think I'll have to try it. I'm a great fan of de Lint, and I also enjoyed the Toby Daye series, so I suspect I'll like this as well.
Off to put it on my wishlist! |

The reason I enjoy doing this is that it gives me a chance to tell stories that wouldn't get told otherwise. In HAMMERED, Granuaile disappears for a good chunk of the novel (for an excellent reason, as you'll discover) and so the only way for me to tell what happened to her was to write a short story about it. The sad fact is, there's little room in the print world for supplements like that (or for short stories in general). But adding it onto an ebook is fairly cost efficient, aside from editing and formatting, and it allows me to do some things creatively that wouldn't be available in print format otherwise. That's why I'm excited about ebooks and think they're spiffy. Thanks again! ![]() |

Just a reminder to those who are reading this series that the next book, "Hexed" will be released on June 7th. I almost never pre-order books, but I did for this one.

Just checked my Amazon account and "Hexed" has been shipped and it's at my post office. Hopefully they'll deliver it later today.

I have downloaded Hexed from Diesel(!!), and I hope I have the sense to begin reading in the morning, rather than now. I'm rather wishing I'd gotten a hard copy instead, but I have Hounded is in ebook form. Oh well. I'm just glad I can 'finally' read it. I've been waiting impatiently. I agree, we're lucky we don't have to wait years. The next one (3rd) will be released in July.
Have fun reading, Xanthe! I hope you get it soon, phenomshel! Last edited by redbees; 06-07-2011 at 04:53 AM. |

While I'm busy trying to squeeze in time to read "Hexed" (which I'm enjoying greatly, BTW), just wanted to give a head's up that the audiobook versions of "Hounded" and "Hexed" are currently on sale at Audible.com for its members at $6.99 and $7.83 respectively.
![]() Amazon's currently got a promo for a free 30-day trial membership to Audible.com. It shows if you click on the Audible format link on the book's page: Quote:

Book 2 was another winner... My favorite thing about this series is how it mixes so many legends into one world. Most urban fantasy I've read choose one mythos and stick to it, but this one combines them all!
It looks like the next book is coming out in July... Hopefully it's not the last one! |

_Hexed_ was awesome. Can't wait for _Hammered_. I'm hoping Thor will make an appearance!

I finished Hounded and Hexed this past weekend and enjoyed both of them. I'm a sucker for talking dogs and the back and forth between Atticus and Oberon does what few books ever do, make me laugh out loud. Really liked the bit in Hexed when Atticus, Brighid and Oberon are in the kitchen and Oberon tells Atticus to <Testify>.
Thanks Xanthe for posting a heads up about this series here at MR. I'll definitely be buying Hammered as well. |

I finished "Hexed" and am happy to report that I enjoyed it just as much as the first book.
