Another great Dresden adventure

This book is worth it just for the first few chapters alone. I love the Dresden character it’s my go to series when I want to just unplug. And the audiobook is great.

A well read rendition of a kick ass book

Jim Butcher is as much a Wizard as his protagonist Harry Dresden, gripping stories from start to finish, comedic, action packed and full of mystery.

I’ve reread this series about 20 times and it’s just as good every time. Can not recommend it enough. #Audible1

Hooked

The first of the Dresden files thats really hooked me. The series has been laying out the fantasy ground work for the pervious 5 books. Its a lot to take in, but this book is where they finally take it all and run with it.
