Hounded is the first book in the Iron Druid series, about two-thousand-year-old druid Atticus O'Sullivan, who lives in present-day Arizona.
Atticus is a fun character, with just the right combination of snark, power, and oh-crap-I’m-in-over-my-head-again panic. But his companion, an Irish Wolfhound named Oberon, steals every scene he’s in.

Oberon is a great partner and a loveable character. In short,…

Hounded gives such an original take on the different types of magic and how characters use them that it is a must-read book for any magic lovers, it gave me new and interesting ideas not only about magic itself but about religion and cultures worldwide, mixing in history and legend in a most intriguing and unique way.
From Solee's list on fantasy that will change the way you think.
I love this book because it’s about the struggle between attempting a normal-appearing life as the owner of Third Eye Books and Herbs in Tempe, Arizona, and the fate of fighting mythic monsters and gods. This story is colorfully told with drama, and humor provided by our hero’s mind-link with his goofy Irish Wolfhound.
