I liked this book. I was surprised that Michael was such a prevalent presence and I found I really liked him. Susan is growing on me, this whole godmother subplot is intriguing. Ghosts are always an Achilles heel with me. I think the series might be gathering steam. We shall see. I didnt like the out of the blue problem solving, but the villains of the book and the stakes were great. We’ll see how the plot develops.

I will acknowledge the issue other reviews have taken with this book, that Harry seems to be coming across a bunch of sexy sexy ladies, be they friend or foe or side character, and pass it like a ship in the night. I don’t care if the ladies are hot & described as such, especially dealing with vampires - I mean it might make me roll my eyes or skim forward a bit, but really wasn’t too distracting. The women are still major players in the plot, and because Harry is loyal to his girlfriend, it never gave me skeevy vibes.

I love me some Harry Dresden. Jim Butcher is an amazing writer that has the perfect amount of horror, intrigue, monster of the week and ALWAYS globs of humor to every book. This book is no different. Wizard fighting vampires in yellow ducky underwear? Who does that? LOL
