Publisher's Summary

Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden has had a rough couple of weeks. As the only openly practicing professional wizard in the Chicago area, he has squared off against a multitude of supernatural bad guys. Harry has won the day against demons, poltergeists, sorcerers, trolls, vampires, werewolves, and even an evil faerie godmother. You might think nothing could spook him. You would be wrong.

Something is stirring up angry apparitions all over town. Something that can break all the laws of supernatural physics. Something that doesnt like Harry. His closest friends are being targeted. The net is closing in. Harry must find a solution soon or find this is one Nightmare from which he will never waken.

I love this series, one of the best out there. Dresden is one of the best main characters in a book series.

Good

I love this story. The guy who reads it makes it more real with the breathing sounds. Actually sounds like harry is doing what he’s doing.

Amazing storytelling!

Jim Butcher did it again! His Dresden series never slows down, it’s a constant build up that keeps you on the edge of your seat! I love his quick wit and deep thinking. In other words: I highly recommend this series to anyone who will listen. Oh, and James Marsters is the PERFECT narrator. He’s very engaging and the characters really come to life!

Dresden rules

Always a pleasure to listen and relax with on a stormy night.
Vampires, ghosts and magic. What more do you need.

Another very good Harry Dresden Novel

The baddies are bad, but it a different way than before. The evil scheme has layers that you miss and then become obvious. The good guys are sort of good but got some issues. Alliances are made and not really trusted. There is sort of a sardonic humour. These things can be said about any Harry Dresden Novel.

Harry is fighting powerful ghosts because some one or some thing is stirring up the never never. The nightmare has a particular issue with Harry and his friend Michael who is a "Hand of God". Harry has to figure out who is behind this before it gets to him.

The action moves pretty good, the character development is quite good. Since this is an earlier Dresden Novel he doesn't have the backstory that always needs explaining so it moves a bit quicker than the later novels. If you like Dresden novels you will like this one.

The narrator does and excellent job bringing the material to life.

Another great story

I am really enjoying the series. The only downside is Harry's constant internal dialog (sometimes external) of taking responsibility for any and everything. After 3 books so far it is getting annoying. Apparently no one at the White council has mentioned the world doesn't revolve around him.
