Book Review: The Purloined Poodle by Kevin Hearne

The Purloined PoodleThe Purloined Poodle by Kevin Hearne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a nice novella told from Oberon's point of view which means it contains a lot of references to food (especially sausages) and sniffing other dogs behinds! It was a short mystery that he and Atticus set out to solve and a good edition to the series.

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with a free copy in exchange for an honest review.

Book Review: Trapped by Kevin Hearne

Why I read this: Book 5 in the series and I am really enjoying it.

Genre: Urban Fantasy, Mythology


In a Nutshell: Fun series, some swearing, violence but not graphic


Would suit fans of: Jim Butcher and Ilona Andrews


Trapped (The Iron Druid Chronicles, #5)Trapped by Kevin Hearne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I think there is always a risk setting a book so far in advance of the book before. In this case, it is 12 years after the events in Tricked, so I'm not quite used to Granuaile being a Druid.
This book concentrates on her needing the final act in her apprenticeship ; being bound to the earth and receiving the tattoos, but of course some Gods have worked out that Atticus is still alive and so mayhem and action ensue.
I enjoy the humour in these books, and Oberon is priceless. I think I will need to read the novellas between book 4 and 5 though because I feel like I missed out not having any info on those 12 years.
