We are back with a Dresden File review. This is a reread for me but I am happy to be dragging Barb along with me in reading this series. After checking out my review go on over and see what Barb though since this is her first time reading this one!
A duel with the Red Court of Vampires' champion, who must kill Harry to end the war between vampires and wizards...
Professional hit men using Harry for target practice...
The missing Shroud of Turin...
A handless and headless corpse the Chicago police need identified...
Not to mention the return of Harry's ex-girlfriend Susan, who's still struggling with her semi-vampiric nature. And who seems to have a new man in her life.
Some days, it just doesn't pay to get out of bed. No matter how much you're charging.
The more you get into this series the better it gets as the more trouble Harry gets into. Things have been building up and Harry has gotten himself into some serious trouble since he killed a vampire and some of her followers.
Now he has to duel with a vampire to end the war between vampires and wizards! It wont end up good for Harry because there is not much of a way he will win.
Father Vincent needs Harry to find the Shroud of Torin and he is not the only one who is looking for it. Harry meets some extremely nasty Demons who wants the Shroud and don't' mind killing Harry.
There is never just one thing going on with Harry. The Knights of the Cross are around to lend a hand and his friend Micheal wants him to stay away from looking for the Shroud because of all the bad things that are going to happen but of course that wont happen. His ex-girlfriend turned vampire is back, but she only came back to tell Harry what she was going to do and it involves moving away. Now that she is here though she lends a hand to Harry when he gets in trouble. There is also some murderer going around collecting body parts and of course there has to be links to Harry.
Harry doesn't always go looking for trouble but trouble is always looking for Harry.
I really enjoyed this book a lot more than any of the others in the series, I think mainly because with each book you are getting more and more of the world building and the different creatures that in the stories. The consequences for Harry's actions in previous books are really starting to heat up with Duke Ortega coming to announce that he must duel Harry. The author does such a wonderful job of putting things all together to make an extremely interesting world.

You know the Knights element are not my favorite part of these books, but I loved learning more about them. Of course, snake-man was icky. I do wish the cards were different for Harry and Susan. And you are right, I love Butters!
ReplyDeleteI love how the books are getting better the more you read. That isn't always my experience with series!
