This is the sequel to Changes that you’ve been waiting for. While Ghost Story was an eerie intermission after the explosive events of Changes, a clever opportunity to step back and do some character development and world building, Butcher’s latest rises back up to the same level of high-octane storytelling. It’s intense, full of action […]

After being murdered by a mystery assailant, navigating his way through the realm between life and death, and being brought back to the mortal world, Harry realizes that maybe death wasn’t all that bad.

If you’ve already read Changes (the twelfth book of Jim Butcher’s The Dresden Files), you know how shocking a few of its plot developments were.

There are three different types: Red Court which are traditional vampires but drug their victims and feast on them at parties, Black Court which are monsters with little resemblance to humans, and White Court which feed […]
I enjoyed this 2nd book in The Dresden Files more than the first. The murders Dresden (resident wizard, detective consultant extraordinaire) investigates have signs of wolf activity. Not too far in, it’s clear that the subject is werewolves, which may sound a little cliché, except that Butcher takes it a bit further than most authors. […]
I started reading The Dresden Files after watching SyFy Channel’s short-lived TV show based on the books. The show was done well, so I was less excited about this first book then I might have been otherwise. I see the characters from the show in my head as I read, and they are perfect. Dresden […]
