Harry Dresden is a magician living in modern day Chicago. He's a bit like a Private Investigator and it reads like you imagine a 50's American crime novel would. I can only imagine as I've never read a 50's American crime novel.
He's pretty cool is Harry, and Butcher does a great job of bringing his world to life. Easy read though, very easy. I find this with all of Butcher's novels, I can pretty much skim read them, and enjoyable as they are, I prefer something denser.
This was a fine little romp though and loads better than the first in the series. Dresden battles against a host of different types of Werewolves. Yep, different types. One 'breeds' called a loup-garou. Who knew?
So a fun book then, with a nice dark edge to it and a lot of gore without being horror. I bought the third one today, but saving that for a while.
4/5
