Jim Butcher is great!

I will keep on buying his books because he writes in a very good manner.
You will sink in the book and live the adventures of Harry Dresden in all of
their glory. A truly amazing book.

Fast-paced urban fantasy with sympathetic protagonist

Harry Dresden's day starts bad and gets worse. First, there's the TV show where his magic manages to break down the cameras and put a quick end to things. Then there's the red court vampire challenging him to a duel. The priest claims to be a skeptic, but he hires Harry to help find the Shroud of Turin which has been stolen, possibly in association with Chicago's crimelord. Not to mention the attempted assassination as Harry leaves the studio or the arrival of ex-girlfriend Susan who 'wants to talk.' As Murphy points out,, women don't have to set you up for a happy-talk.

As Chicago's only Yellow-Pages wizard, Harry Dresden gets his share of weird cases. All of this happening at once, though, strains the realm of coincidence. When a fallen angel joins the attack, Dresden knows there's a connection. What, exactly, lies at the heart of the danger, though, is hard to figure.

Author Jim Butcher combines an interesting and conflicted character (can't keep a girlfriend, lives in a cellar, his best friend's wife hates him, he talks more to a skull than women), a dark-side of Chicago world, vampire wars and mythology to write a compelling urban fantasy. DEATH MASKS is a reprint of an earlier Harry Dresden and it's interesting to see where he's been as Butcher continues to develop both the character and the world in which he lives. DEATH MASKS is a strong effort with plenty of action, enough character angst to keep us interested in the people, and a nice dose of magic.

Now in hardcover for the first time- book five in the New York Times bestselling Dresden Files series!

Harry Dresden, Chicago's only practicing professional wizard, should be happy that business is pretty good for a change. But he also knows that whenever things are going good, the only way left for them to go is bad. Way bad.

Recent examples: A duel with the lethal champion of the Red Court, who must kill Harry to end the war between vampires and wizards...Hit men using Harry for target practice...The missing Shroud of Turin-and the possible involvement of Chicago's most feared mob boss...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.
