There's no love lost between Harry Dresden, the only wizard in the Chicago phone book, and the White Council of Wizards, who find him brash and undisciplined. But war with the vampires has thinned their ranks, so the Council has drafted Harry as a Warden and assigned him to look into rumors of black magic in the Windy City.
As Harry adjusts to his new role, another problem arrives in the form of the tattooed and pierced daughter of an old friend, all grown-up and already in trouble. Her boyfriend is the only suspect in what looks like a supernatural assault straight out of a horror film. Malevolent entities that feed on fear are loose in Chicago, but it's all in a day's work for a wizard, his faithful dog, and a talking skull named Bob....
4.5★
Oh wow another great book in the series. What a wild ride not only this book but the entire series so far. Also the books are getting harder and harder to review without spoiling it. But I will try my best but this review might spoil something from previous books, so if you haven’t read them please be aware that this might spoil you.
One big thing happening in this book has to do with Charity and she has had kept a huge secret from everyone as they deal with the fallout from that, Harry and Charity work together Unlikely duo, yes, but I loved it and some things are also being revealed along the way. Though there were a few moments between Harry and her daughter Molly that had me worried for a while and a bit nervous and too weird for me. But overall it worked all out for the most part and for now. As we know things never quiet rest in these books.
One thing that happened in now in a few books is the whole coin and fallen one, Lasciel. Inside Harry thing. I’m not sure what to think of that, I’m not a huge fan of it but still curious to see where it takes us from here on out in the story.
We get more into depth of the whole winter and summer court, but to be honest all that is starting to get a bit confusing. The same with the Vampire courts and so on but I can’t wait to see how things work out now that Harry has been on the council, how it will effect things for him.
We learn more about Thomas as things also move and they seem to be more comfortable with each other and the whole situation. I can’t get enough of them two together.
Murphy, things might or might not be happening, we might never know to be honest. Only time will tell as most of everything in his life things are complicated and never that easy. Though one thing is for sure Harry seems to be getting really lonely and I feel for him. I also still hoping Susan will come back some time with her hunger under control and they can make it work somehow. I not only liked her but I liked them together.
I listened to the audio book as all the other prior and again I can’t praise them enough, they are s great to listen to and James Marsters does a phenomenal with these books.
Over all I loved the book and rate it 4.5★, there are a few minor things that I don’t care for and feel drawn out like Lasciel but overall I loved it.
