I love Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files series. I’ve read all the books many times and make sure that I’ve got each new book the day they are released. I’ve listened to them all on audio book, too. So I am a fan, and you need to keep this in mind throughout the review. I am going to complain, but the complaining comes from a place of love. Despite my complaints, I enjoyed this installment. I’ve already bought the next book, Skin Game, coming out on […]
A member of the senior council of wizards is murdered. Harry has to clear the name of his nemesis.
This is the eleventh book in the Dresden Files. You don’t want to start with this one, there’s far too much in the book building on stuff already established. I’d recommend anyone new to the books to start with book 4. The first three were a complete slog to get through for me. The audio book versions, read by James Marsters, are all highly recommended. Harry Dresden is extremely surprised when Morgan, the wizard whose probably shown the most animosity towards Harry in the past, shows […]
Dear Authors of the World: ‘Dangerous’ doesn’t have to mean ‘Femme Fatale Sex Stripper.’ There are other options.
This was pretty good for an anthology, but I really prefer longer stories, as it really takes a talented author to make me care for characters in such a short period of time, or to have a plot immediately interesting enough to trump my interest in the characters. Short stories also tend more towards the self-important and annoying. Anyway, this was worth it just for the Martin and Sanderson stories alone, and there were several others I really enjoyed as well including ones from Robin […]
Harry fights a lot of billy goats and tries to rescue a mobster from a bunch of demons
Harry Dresden still owes Queen Mab of the Winter Court two favours, and now she’s come to collect one. “Gentleman” Johnny Marcone, head of the Chicago underworld and newly a baron in the terms of the Unseelie Accords, has been kidnapped by forces unknown. Mab demands that Harry act as Winter’s Envoy in the matter and find him. To complicate matters, the Summer Queen is sending warriors to challenge Harry. The Gruffs (yup, like the Billy Goats of the stories) keep showing up, each bigger […]
Blood Rites: Sex, Blood, Magic
Blood Rites (The Dresden Files, Book 6)
The one where Harry tries to catch a serial killer and fights a lot of ghouls
Chicago wizard and now a Warden of the White Council, Harry Dresden, gets called in by his friend Sgt. Karrin Murphy (she got demoted after helping Harry out in the last book) to look into a series of mysterious deaths. A lot of women have been found dead around Chicago, in what appears at first glance to be suicides, but Murphy and her team at Special Investigations can tell something is off, and Harry finds magically hidden writing that suggests the women have been killed […]
