Luke Daniels narrates Hexed across 9 hours with the fast, character-flexible energy that Kevin Hearne's Iron Druid series runs on — the two-thousand-year-old druid protagonist has opinions about everything and Daniels delivers them with genuine wit, keeping a cast of gods, witches, and vampires distinct without letting the comedy tip into sketch. The urban fantasy formula is well-served by this kind of committed, fast-moving performance. All ten recommendations are also by Daniels, three more come from Hearne's catalog, and the list is essentially a guide to what Daniels does best.
