Atticus has already proven that age and wisdom don't necessarily go hand in hand. Since the murder of Aenghus Og, he has made increasingly bad decisions, which have angered almost every god in existence. There is, of course, only one solution to this problem: he must die, as violently and loudly as possible.
Granuaile and Oberon stand by Atticus against all difficulties. I'm glad they became protagonists in this sequence, because the brave apprentice and the funny dog are great companions for the druid. Moreover, the attraction between master and apprentice is growing stronger, which might cause a lot of trouble.
The Navajo mythology was an interesting new experience, and a nice expansion of our knowledge of the various magical systems. Now we were able to learn with Atticus, because despite 2100 years, he knew little about this culture.
This twisting and entertaining story shows that there is a way out of even the largest magical mess.

I'm still in love with Atticus and even more with Oberon.
The story in "Tricked" was not full of action and fighting parts as the other stories, but you get to know a lot more about beeing a druid, about Atticus past and himself.
Not really worth five stars as i could easily take a break but well earned four stars :)
If u already enjoyed the other books, you'll love this one!

I enjoy this series a lot. But I think I'm feeling kinda burned out with the inside jokes between Atticus and Oberon and between Atticus and Granuaile. Actually, it got a bit tedious after awhile. As did the history and science lessons....boring. With this book, I started wondering what's up with Granuaile's character. She didn't add anything to the story, or for that matter, the series - so far. She's like a nick-nack you put on a shelf. Its pretty, but serves no real purpose or function. She feels like a waste of paper. Aside from scratching my head over Granuaiel, I did find the Skinwalker storyline interesting, but my attention and interest were peaked more by the vampire intrigue subplot and Leif's betrayal. The whole thing with the Skinwalkers felt more like a peripheral story. I wanted and was more interested in wanting to see the characters develop. I'm taking a breather from this series. I hope the next book focuses more on the characters and their development and not so much on the action. It was exhausting.

This one certainly felt a step above the preceding books. There is a fine balance of humour and plot, leaning towards the side of humour sometimes. However, most of the cultural references from the book are American which can be hard for non-American readers to relate to.
