Action packed and full of Harry's wonderful friends with the new addition of Butters, the polka loving waif of a coroner that grows a back bone while hanging out with our hero. The war is still raging against the red court vampires and a terrible new threat has come to Chicago threatening to kill thousands. He is adjusting to life with a crippled hand and is struggling to over come fears he is not even aware that he has. Harry is learning to adapt to having and living with his brother, Thomas. The book is unpredictable and ties together loose ends from previous books. Zombies, necromancers, animated dinosaurs, old and new enemies grace the pages of this book as Harry struggles to keep his friend Karrin Murphy's reputation safe. Have fun!Ībsolutely brilliant book, the best in the series so far! Harry Dresdan is funnier than ever and becomes even more of a bad ass.

And if this is your first time at Dresden Club, you could do worse than jumping in here, enjoying a ripping yarn, and then if you like it go back to some earlier ones maybe (I'd start with book 3 if you're listening on Audible - Marsters' narration is a bit hinky in the first couple of books).

Well, if you're on the fence because you don't wanna hear about more emo sex vampires, then rest assured this one isn't about them. Wait, who am I writing this for? Like if you're thinking about buying this one then you're probably already several Harry Dresden adventures deep by now and you've enjoyed them enough to make it this far. Equally author Jim Butcher has found a great rhythm with these stories, and the depth of the world building shows too. Narrator James Marsters has well and truly hit his stride by this point in the series, with great characterisations and excellent pacing. I just listened to this for probably about the 6th time, and it's always a pleasure.
