Mr. Hearne continues to amaze me with the yarns he spins concerning the Iron Druid. In this episode, events of the last book are plaguing the ancient druid. He has to fake his death yet again to get all sorts of Gods off his back. Once done, he has some debts to settle with the trickster Coyote. And of course, it isn't all what it appears when dealing with that particular deity. 
 I was skeptical when first looking at this series. As a fan of the Dresden series, I had heard others who like that series not caring for this one. I have been intrigued by the storyline and find it as entertaining. For comparison, these books deal more with the goings on of the various religious entities throughout the world while Butcher's books focus on the fantastical aspects of other plans. I recommend these books to any one a fan of urban fantasy who isn't a fan of paranormal romances (this is definitely not one of those).
