The last of the Druids, Atticus O’Sullivan, lives in peace in the state of Arizona (the town of Tempe). He runs an occult bookshop and shape shifts in his spare time so that he can hunt with his Irish wolfhound. This tattooed Irish dude is thought, by his neighbors and the customers of his bookshop, to be only about twenty-one years old or so. The reality, however, is that he is about twenty-one centuries old.

Hexed: The second book in the “Iron Druid Chronicles” series written by Kevin Hearne that was released in the year 2011. Atticus does not care a whole lot for witches. That being said, he signs an agreement with the coven that is in the same town as him that is a nonaggression treaty that goes both ways between both him and the coven. The next day, the witch population grows and there are four times as many witches as there were before in Tempe, Arizona. The girls were on the Germans side in the second World War. At the same time, there is a fallen angel who is using high school students in town to feast on, a sexy Celtic goddess of fire that tempts Atticus, and a large group of Bacchants coming in from Las Vegas with their own decadence that proves to be quite deadly. All of these things make it hard to get to his witch hunt. He has a vampire attorney, his magical and powerful sword, and a grenade launcher that his neighbor lets him use.

Hammered: The third book in the “Iron Druid Chronicles” series written by Kevin Hearne that was released in the year 2011. Thor has ruined many lives and killed a lot of people. This is the Norse god of thunder, mind you. Viking vampire Leif Helgarson is ready for revenge after many centuries. Atticus is asked to help by Leif to take down Thor. Atticus has survived because he has stayed away from the god of thunder. He agrees, and there is a turf war brewing between vampires and Russian demon hunters (called Hammers of God) are running around free.
