A short story of the Dresden Files.
From Goodreads:
Harry Dresden--Wizard
Lost items found. Paranormal investigations.
Consulting. Advice. Reasonable rates.
No Love Potions, Endless Purses, Parties, or Other Entertainment.
Harry Dresden is the best at what he does. Well, technically, he's the only at what he does. So when the Chicago P.D. has a case that transcends mortal creativity or capability, they come to him for answers. For the "everyday" world is actually full of strange and magical things--and most of them don't play too well with humans. That's where Harry comes in. Takes a wizard to catch a--well, whatever.
There's just one problem. Business, to put it mildly, stinks. So when the police bring him in to consult on a grisly double murder committed with black magic, Harry's seeing dollar signs. But where there's magic, there's a black mage behind it. And now that mage knows Harry's name. And that's when things start to get... interesting.
Magic. It can get a guy killed.
From Goodreads:
You'd think there’d be a little more action for the only professional wizard listed in the Chicago phone book. But lately, Harry Dresden hasn’t been able to dredge up any kind of work: magical, mundane, or menial.
Just when it looks like he can't afford his next meal, a murder comes along that requires his particular brand of supernatural expertise. There's a brutally mutilated corpse, and monstrous animal markings at the scene. Not to mention that the killing took place on the night of a full moon. Harry knows exactly where this case is headed. Take three guesses—and the first two don't count...
My Review:
Wow, it was so fantastic reading these books! I wasn't really expecting to read them, since I'd been hoping to read this series for a little while now, but I just starting reading, and I couldn't put them down, and read more then I had previously planned, which was pretty freaking great!
A Fistful of Warlocks, it apparently came out pretty much the latest, but chronologically, it's the earliest. And the fact that Jim Butcher mentioned that he had an idea for a 5 book series, well, that's fantastic, and the possibility is much higher of it happening, since it's a pretty recent thing! Yeah!
This world was pretty interesting. There's magic, but most people don't believe in it. But it's there and it's causing a major rise in crime. In comes Harry Dresden, as well as Karrin Murphy, who we met in Restoration of Faith. They have a lot of their plates!
We explored a few different areas in these books, from black magic to werewolves. There's plenty more to explore, because there's the Nevernever, which I'm pretty curious about. And I can't wait to see more mysteries, and see Dresden get in-and out-of some pretty perilous situations!
Yeah, really enjoyed this series, it's so fantastic to read, and I can't wait to read more!
