'American Gods meets Jim Butcher's Harry Dresden' SFF World
Book one in the New York Times bestselling Iron Druid Chronicles, the vastly popular contemporary fantasy series starring hero Atticus O'Sullivan - filled with mystery, magic and mayhem.
Atticus O'Sullivan, last of the Druids, lives peacefully in Arizona, running an occult bookshop and shape-shifting in his spare time to hunt with his Irish wolfhound. His neighbors and customers think that this handsome, tattooed Irish dude is about twenty-one years old - when in actuality, he's twenty-one centuries old. Not to mention: He draws his power from the earth, possesses a sharp wit, and wields an even sharper magical sword known as Fragarach, the Answerer.
Unfortunately, a very angry Celtic god wants that sword, and he's hounded Atticus for centuries. Now the determined deity has tracked him down, and Atticus will need all his power - plus the help of a seductive goddess of death, his vampire and werewolf team of attorneys, a sexy bartender possessed by a Hindu witch, and some good old-fashioned luck of the Irish - to kick some Celtic arse and deliver himself from evil.
Praise for the Iron Druid Chronicles:

Picked this book up randomly and started to read. This is my live review while I read. Chapter 1 This book is written in the first person, and it makes it seem dreary because it starts with someone just talking about himself. The main character has been alive a long time. He is an ancient druid who lives in the modern world and goes to Starbucks. I made it to page 3 but I don't see myself going much further. My mind is wondering what the point of the story is and it doesn't seem like I am close to finding out. It talks about Faerie people looking for the main character, but does not suggest what they would want him for. Wait, now the Faerie have found him and there is some sort of fight, but it still doesn't make me want to keep reading. I suppose the charm of this book is the sense of humor and outlook of the main character. Unfortunately, being trapped in his head separates me from really knowing what is going on. Also, I don't think he is going to die anytime soon because he tells the story, so I don't feel any danger. The End.
