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.
