James Marsters' narration of this series is pitch perfect, and this sample is an excellent demonstration of the talents of both writer and narrator. It rained toads. Let me say that again. It rained TOADS, great big slimy TOADS! And, of course, things don't get any better or easier for poor Harr...
Loved it as I've loved the others...and this one had some awesome scenes with Karrin and Harry so...yeah. Extra star there. (Harry taunting her about having a girl gun is still making me laugh.)
The Dresden Files gets just a little bit better with each installment. Maybe because while the base world building is already there, this paranormal world that Butcher has created has no limits. Anything can happen here.In Summer Knight, Harry has been brought low by the voluntary disappearance of...
There are some among Harry Dresden fans that state that the series truly takes off during book three. While I enjoyed Grave Peril, it does not hold a candle to Summer Knight. In fact, I dare say this fourth book in the series is my favorite so far. The tension is much more subtle than in previous bo...
Harry Dresden returns in a much more epic tale of battle and mystery in which the fate of Chicago – in fact the whole world, rests.Epic. I do like me some epic, I does. And we have meta-plot!

His apartment is a mess, he hasn’t worked much, and the bills are piling up. To add to his troubles, it’s raining toads. Yes, ...
The Summer Knight was murdered and the Winter Queen now has Harry's debt and offer's him freedom for three completed tasks. The first to find the murderer. This first task takes him into the incredibly intense world of Fae politics'. Harry, poor Harry is betrayed, wounded, abused, heart broken and b...
I would give this a 3.5 if I could. Summer Knight is a fun, quick read. Despite his rather annoying ability to bite off more than he can chew, Harry Dresden is a funny, believable character who unlike some urban fantasy main stays, actually fears, to a degree, what he goes up against. The fact th...
i loved this book. i think it was better than the last one. the action pack was great - and i liked the fact that jim butcher did give itty bitty introduction to new characters as well as old ones (something i didn't really see in book 3). and it was great to see Billy and the werewolves gang were b...
