“One of the most enjoyable marriages of the fantasy and mystery genres on the shelves,”(Cinescape) the Dresden Files have become synonymous with action-packed urban fantasy and nonstop fun. Fool Moon continues the adventures of Jim Butcher’s most famous—and infamous—reluctant hero…
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...
Pretty decent second book in a series. I'm really hoping that Dresden doesn't stay this chauvinistic schmuck he currently is, but we'll see.
I really did enjoy this book. I thought the pace was wonderfully fast, and I loved all of the different werewolves. But, my god, how many people wanted to kill this protagonist? I know he's a bit of an asshole, but jeebus man. Dresden could not catch a break.
Looking forward seeing where this story goes. Time to start reading Grave Peril (#3).
