I am so loving my relisten of the Dresden Files, it's starting to get really good and it's amazing how much I don't remember vs what I do remember once I start listening...lol. Go check out what Barb thought at Booker T's Farm after viewing my thoughts. :)
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....
Things are getting good in this series as Harry is now a Warden for the White Council and not happy about it at all and the first scene we get is a reason why he doesn't like it. Others are not real happy to have him on as a Warden either as some still think he is not a good person.
In this one we get more of Molly who is Michael and Charity's daughter, and Michael is Harry's friend but Charity is not a huge Harry fan. Molly though gets herself in a bit of trouble and instead of going to her parents she calls Harry which ends up getting him into a bit of trouble not only with supernatural things but also with Charity (eventually).
Some on the council want Harry to look into some activity involving black magic and this and some things with Molly seem to go together and it leads him to a horrorfest type thing where people are being killed by an entity that is taking on peoples fears and what type of fears are at a horrorfest? Horror movie villains!!
This one was so much fun that it didn't really seem as long as it was but it was 16 hours on audio and over 500 pages in print form but goes so quickly as things just keep building up and then the things that happen at the end! Can't say but I am glad we will be getting more Molly in the future. :)
Can't wait to get to the next installment as I just love this series! I am sure I could reread it again in the future.
5 stars!
This one was one of my faves of the eight we have read. Molly does liven them up. Thank heavens Mouse lived!
