I've been liking this series but I will be skipping this one. The previous books have been MOSTLY okay with a little bit of sensuality. I started listening to this one and with the plot surrounding an executive producer of porn movies and Harry being a production assistant and can just imagine how far Butcher can take the sensuality and I really don't need to hear that much.

Blood Rites honestly wasn't my favorite of the Dresden Files so far. I still enjoyed it because of the world that Jim Butcher created, but this sixth book fell flat for me. I felt like it lacked plot and was mainly centered around Dresden's horniness. If it wasn't about Lara's weird Vampire Succubus vibe, it was about Karrin's ass.

What brought this to three stars for me is that it still had a lot of the humor I've come to love in this series and a great deal of back story that I felt had been previously missing. We get to learn a lot more about Dresden's family and why he was sent to Ebenezer. Those parts were exciting, but the rest? Meh.
