I like Hammered much better than Hexed I think it might actually be may favorite of the series to date. We find out more about Atticus and his friends, lot of back story is filled in on his friends.
I do get the feeling though reading this of a RPG (Role Playing Game), Atticus might end up with a truly interesting collection of magical weapons and artifacts if this keeps up.
One minor quibble I have though, it seems that Kevin Hearne likes to throw sex scenes in more in the fashion I would expect from a TV show or movie than most of the books I read. It is done for comic effect, or along with violence, not really because of any attachment of the characters involved.
It seems clear that Atticus, despite being over 2000 years old still deals with the opposite sex about as well as a 12-14 year old when feelings are actually involved as opposed to lust. It is clear that Atticus & Granuaile are in love with each other, but they can't even say the word "love" without it being "pretend".
Makes the characters seem far more shallow in my opinion. Really, Atticus and Oberon have a deeper relationship than Atticus can handle with women. And Oberon is a dog!
