This was a fun little story. I read the audiobook version and while Kirby Heyborne did a fine job, it just wasn't the same without Luke Daniels.

I haven't read the series that goes with this. But I definitely will. A great teaser of the series, I loved it all, and it hooked me right from the start.

A very short story that could have been incorporated into the many story arc. It was a quick, easy, entertaining read.

How do you get people to choose to go to Hell? Well, make it a theme-park ride and don't tell anybody the door to Hell is real until it's too late. So sets the stage for Atticus and Granuaille, months into her training and well before she becomes a full druid. There are laughs aplenty, with most of the best lines given to Oberon, and yet there is, in pure Hearne style, a gravity to the story that adds to the overall series. Here we see Granuaille for the first time employ her martial skills and learn what it is to face, as a potential druid, the forces that would hurt others. An important and character-rounding story to tell.

Title: The Demon Barker of Wheat Street
Series: The Iron Druid Chronicles #4.6
Author: Kevin Hearne
Genre: Urban Fantasy / Paranormal
Rating: 3.5/5
Review:
Ignoring the plot holes, female representation, and the descriptors of some of the characters in this novel… I have to say that I enjoyed this story the most out of the series.
I realize that it is perhaps the shortest of all the installments and the one most disconnected from the main story line, but it was perhaps the most well written as well.
Hearne’s pace seemed to work well with the grotesque imagery he paints in the minds of his readers allowing for a disturbing picture that will no doubt remain for a long while. The story itself was also original even within the iron druid series.
