Fantasy Book Critic | 18 Apr 2012
Tricked manages to combine the fun aspects of the previous books and give the saga a darker turn to make this book more akin to a thriller.

Neth Space | 30 May 2012
I find it very difficult that someone who is supposed to be over 2000 years old...could have such as naïve understanding of the environmental issues faced by the Navajo Reservation. Basically, Atticus shows the nuance of an 18-year old college student in his environmental stance...

The story in Tricked is filled with moments you can’t believe you just read. Some are funny, some are beautiful and many are surprising...I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book.

If anything, the first book was pretty good, and this book is just leaner, meaner, and more awesome.

The Royal Library | 24 May 2012
...it doesn’t move along quite as breathlessly as the previous volumes, and the humor, though still ever-present, seems to be a little muted.

My Bookish Ways | 14 Apr 2012
I laughed so hard during the first half of this book that I may have squirted tears a couple of times, and the action in this one pretty much never lets up.

Hearne is continuing to keep me very entertained with these books – quick, humorous reads with an undercurrent of a larger plot.

I wish desperately that everything could stop when a new Atticus novel is released...It’s easy to get lost in the books of this series...

In My Write Mind | 7 May 2012
Kevin Hearne shows his brilliant storytelling yet again by delving into the Navajo magic system and religion. This is what really made Tricked a great read.

Readers will be drawn to the edge of their seats, and will be fully unable to proceed in any other activity until the last page of the book is finished.

Tynga's Reviews | 7 Apr 2012
Kevin delivers not only an thrilling adventure rooted in Native American mythology but also a story with humour, action, and lots of surprises, *and* he gives us some closure about some of the characters who he left behind.

The strength of this book lies in its focus on Native American lore, using the god Coyote and the skinwalker monsters as foils for Atticus.

If you like your UF reads filled with snarky humor, sassy dogs, irreverent druids, and evil villains worthy of smiting, then pick up Kevin Hearne’s Iron Druid Chronicles...

Owlcat Mountain | 22 May 2012
Hearne’s writing reminds me of Jim Butcher at his best, with snappy dialogue and a wry self-awareness that what’s going on is rather unusual and worthy of a raised eyebrow.

It was an interesting story with Atticus and his apprentice stuck in the middle of his poor decisions and having to deal with the consequences of making a deal with a trickster.

Nocturnal Book Reviews | 30 May 2012
...each book manages to tell us about mythology, beliefs and traditions of different cultures (in this case, Navajo), and that, my dear readers, is priceless.

Overall, I was not thrilled with this installment. Hearne’s writing seems to be deteriorating to a juvenile level…
