Harry Dresden is not your sauvé hero type, he has trouble with money, women, demons and keeping his clothing on. But he does have actual business cards.



Actually the clothing problem seemed almost worse then than some of his other dilemmas. You try fighting evil naked or in sweats and cowboy boots and see how well you fair. He does seem to have a few wizard tricks up his sleeve and a pretty cool lab equipped with an awesome helper trapped in a skull named Bob.



I really didn’t expect much from this book as it is the first in the series and really just an introduction to the world. That is all you get a simple intro. Much of the story is plot driven and a few things are expanded on along the way but most things are really just touched on briefly so that I was never overwhelmed but information. I’m fine with that as long and I can understand what is going on in the story and I definitely could.

Harry is helping the police discover who with supernatural powers killed a mob henchman and an escort in a compromising position. Harry has about three days to figure it out since the magical community is pretty sure he is the primary suspect. I guess wizards get a bad wrap.

The beginning starts a little slow but after about the 40% mark all the fun really starts and it is a pretty solid ride to the end. Enough hints are dropped about Harry and his past to make him pretty interesting and so I’m looking forward to seeing how that starts to play out throughout the series.

All and all a pretty good start and better than I expected because rumor has it that the series doesn’t really pick up until book 3 or 4. What I do know for sure is


Audio Note James Marsters (Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) does the audio and he was fantastic. It made my listening experience even better.
