5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely excellent, 13 Aug 2004
By J. Patterson - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Its not often you can get to book 6 and feel you've barely scratched the surface of the characters, plot etc. yet still finish the book in one sitting. This is one of those series that just seems to gain in breadth and skill. As there's no write up i'll give a quick overview:
Harry Dresden is Chicago's only practicing wizard investigator and is listed in the yellow pages. Thomas (white vamp) wants him to investigate a case for him. A movie producer is being cursed, and people around him keep on dying in strange ways. Harry jumps right in and there's plenty of action on every page. Demons, puppies, vampires, police, mysterious assassins, wizards, succubi, it's all there.
We get to see more of his growing relationship with Murphy, Ebenezer and Kincaid ome back in and there are a few twists that were definitely a surprise and an ending that seems to move Harry in a different direction to where he has always been left before. This time his life will have changed forever.

Its hard to say more without ruining it - suffice to say if you liked any of the other books you'll love this one. If you're new start with book 1 and work through. It's worth it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Greater than the sum of its parts, 3 Feb 2006
By J. Eltzeroth "Book junkie" (D.C.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Blood Rites (Dresden Case Files) (Paperback)
I have had the luck to discover the Dresden files series after Mr. Butcher was well underway with it, which means I got to read five of them in a row.

The series is characterised by workmanlike prose, a terrific protagonist, and complex plots. Best of all, Mr. Butcher is master of the backstory. Each of the books further unwinds the history of the main character, while not burdening the reader with much repetition. And he is adept at restraining himself from too much explanation; he gives the reader credit for being able to put the pieces together.

Very enjoyable reads, very inventive, fast paced, and well constructed. Note to Mr. Butcher: Write more!

5.0 out of 5 stars fantastic!, 26 Aug 2004
By Mrs. GM Beasley "gill5696" (gibraltar) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Harry's back for the sixth book in the series along with the familiar faces of Murphy, Ebenezer, Bob and a very cute new puppy! If you're new to Jim Butcher's books, do yourself a favour and buy Storm Front first(and the rest too!) as they follow on from each other and it does help to have the history as you're reading. This series is simply class though and is one of the few I've read that gets better with each book. All I can say is Write faster Mr Butcher and give us more Dresden!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting addition to the series
I am a big fan of the Dresden Files but I have to say that this book left me a bit flat.
