Waiting on Wednesday (10)

Waiting on Wednesday is a weekly event that is hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine and spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.


Title: Tricked
Author: Kevin Hearne (Master of All Things Awesome)
Publisher: Del Rey
Release Date: April 24, 2012 (Not Soon Enough)

Druid Atticus O’Sullivan hasn’t stayed alive for more than two millennia without a fair bit of Celtic cunning. So when vengeful thunder gods come Norse by Southwest looking for payback, Atticus, with a little help from the Navajo trickster god Coyote, lets them think that they’ve chopped up his body in the Arizona desert. 

But the mischievous Coyote is not above a little sleight of paw, and Atticus soon finds that he’s been duped into battling bloodthirsty desert shapeshifters called skinwalkers. Just when the Druid thinks he’s got a handle on all the duplicity, betrayal comes from an unlikely source. If Atticus survives this time, he vows he won’t be fooled again. Famous last words. (Goodreads summary)

Yes, I am showing a little more partiality toward Mr. Hearne and his Epic. Wonderful. AWESOME. series, the Iron Druid Chronicles than most other books on my blog. You know what, though? I'm a hardcore fangirl. I'm attempting to plan my summer vacation around stalking him at a signing. I STARTED this blog, just so I would have a venue to post my review of Hounded. Yeah. The other stuff? Those were imported as filler before I got busy at work. These books do it for me, and it has been a LONG eight months since Hammered came out. I really don't know if I can make it. I may have to show up at Kevin's house and camp in his front yard until he throws a book at me. Hopefully Tricked. Or, maybe I can go undercover at the high school he teaches at. *ponders*

Must. Get. Book!

Available for pre-order! Amazon | Barnes & Noble
Add this Epic Adventure to your TBR List on Goodreads!

What are you waiting on?

    1. Thanks for the follow! And might I suggest that you listen to the audiobook of Hammered? It adds an extra dimension to the story. :-)

    1. You should really check them out! They are urban fantasy, but they are really funny and put a new spin on some mythological ideas. They definitely won't disappoint. :-)
