I was not sure whether with book deserves 3 or 4 stars until I was introduced to Butters and Sue. Thanks to Sue, the book has the most epic ending of all Dresden Files books so far; the rating jumped to 5 stars - the highest of all Dresden Files book for me. It starts innocently enough. Mavra, a vampire from Black Court (think Dracula on steroids) who happened to be one of the most powerful Dresden's enemies made an offer to the only official wizard which cannot be refused: find the last book ofDr. Peter Venkman, Dr. Egon Spengler, Dr. Ray Stantz, Winston Zeddnire and Dana Barrett all sit watching The Big Lebowski and discussing Jim Butchers 2005 Harry Dresden novel Dead Beat the seventh novel in the series.Venkman: We have to drink every time we hear an F-Bomb.All drink.Egon: Butcher has done another outstanding job explaining and expounding upon his paranormal universe, this time returning to many of the themes he explored in his third Dresden novel Grave Peril involving ghosts and
I have two GR friends who have said that this series gets better and better with each book. I believe that to be true because these books really do get better, probably because I already love the characters. Harry is a great character.

Chicago's only professional wizard, Harry Dresden, must save the good people of the city (and the world) from black magic and necromancy. That is, assuming he can figure out what the Word of Kemmler is and locate it before the bad guys do.Fast paced, laugh out loud funny, a great cast of characters, an amazing climatic battle on Halloween night that works beautifully as a homage to
Best Dresden book so far! I approve of the zombie T. rex Sue and all the mayhem that she causes!Harry, like any good noir detective, is a bit soft-headed when it comes to a dame. This gets him in trouble in every book and this one is no exception. His wry sense of humour helps him deal with the situations that his instinctive responses get him embroiled in.At least in this installment, Harry gets to know members of the White Council better (and vice versa), finds out that he has fans among the
