Back cover blurb:

This wee story, told from Granuaile’s point of view, takes place concurrently with the events of HAMMERED, book three of The Iron Druid Chronicles.

My review:

A nice little story allowing us a glimpse at what Granuaile is up to while Atticus is away fighting Thor. We get to find out a bit more about her and her upbringing, which is intriguing, and of course there are the usual hilarious Hearne lines and in-jokes. I particularly liked: “On a Creep Scale from Hello Kitty to Cthulhu, I award it a Freddy Krueger.”

My rating: 3/5
