For Harry Dresden, Chicago's only professional wizard, there have been worse assignments than going undercover on the set of an adult film. Dodging flaming monkey poo, for instance. Or going toe-to-leaf with a walking plant monster. Still, there's something more troubling than usual about his newest case. The film's producer believes he's the target of a sinister entropy curse—but it's the women around him who are dying, in increasingly spectacular ways.

Harry's doubly frustrated because he got involved with this bizarre mystery only as a favor to Thomas, his flirtatious, self-absorbed vampire acquaintance of dubious integrity. Thomas has a personal stake in the case Harry can't quite figure out, until his investigation leads him straight to Thomas's oversexed vampire family. Harry's about to discover that Thomas's family tree has been hiding a shocking secret: a revelation that will change Harry's life forever.

I had lots of fun, Harry Dresden faces impossible situations and deals with vampires and succubus. There is a family reunion, and dogs and weird things happening to Dresden's powers. I want to continue reading to see what happens.

I have tried to read this book three times. I get to about page 60 every time and lose interest. Apparently, I needed the magic of James Marsters' voice to fully enthrall me, because I could NOT stop listening. This story was SO good! I can't wait to listen to the next one!

I keep finding myself coming back to this series after swearing that the last one is the last I will read. However, I'm probably hooked now. The writing has gotten much better and this was easily my favorite Dresden book so far.

Reading this book felt more like watching a season of a tv show and this season of Dresden files addressed a lot of loose ends from previous seasons. Giving you enough resolution to feel worthwhile but not giving too much away either.

The main storyline was a bit less intriguing - Dresden protects a cursed porn set filming in Chicago - but the secondary plot was much more involved and interesting.

I'm not going to jump into the next book instantly but my break between books will be much shorter.

This is a great modern or urban fantasy. I've read the first nine books in the series and don't intend to review all of them, so this is a review of the series. There is a formula to the series, and it becomes a bit too apparent about mid-way through the books I've read, but the writing is good enough to overlook it.

The characters are interesting and the action is well paced. Highly recommended to anyone interested in magic set in the modern world.
