Jim Butcher

Backcover Synopsis - Business has been slow.  Okay, business has been dead.  And not even of the undead variety.  You would think Chicago would have a little more action for the only professional wizard in the phone book.  But lately, Harry Dresden hasn't been able to dredge up any kind of work--magical or mundane.

Backcover Synopsis -

HARRY DRESDEN--WIZARD

Lost items found. Paranormal Investigations

Consulting. Advice. Reasonable Rates.

No Love Potions, Endless Purses, or

Score: 4

Really enjoyed the quirkiness of Harry Dresden and the introduction to this world.

New to me - I've never read Jim Butcher before

Harry Dresden is probably the only publicly practicing wizard out there with an ad in the phone book. Even so, money seems to be scarce and he needs a job. His sometime comsulting work for the Chicago PD just doesn't quite cut it.

The first book in the Dresden Files
series (ten books and counting so far) is a refreshing wind for the
urban fantasy genre and this reader. One of the cannon examples of
urban fantasy, a blending of mystery and paranormal in a modern
setting often with a touch of romance, Storm Front is slanted more
toward suspense than romance.

Score: 5 !!!
