My review:????

Summer Knight by Jim Butcher (Dresden Files 4) is our introduction to more of the fae than just Harry’s Godmother.  Now we meet the Queens of the Summer and Winter courts.  The knight of the Summer court has been found dead at the bottom of the stairs, and so the Winter Queen “requests” Harry investigate.

Harry’s not in the best place after Susan was bitten by one of the Red Court vampires in the previous book, the White Council aren’t happy that war with the Red Court was declared by Harry trying to do the right thing, and Harry has been obsessively trying to find the cure for Susan.  

I really enjoy the Dresden Files books, and this was no exception, especially as our cast is slowly growing!

Summer Knight (Dresden Files 4) was published 3rd September 2002, and is available from Amazon, Waterstones, and your local independent bookshop.

My reviews for previous Dresden Files books are below:

Storm Front

Fool Moon

Grave Peril

My review:?????

Grave Peril is the third in the Dresden Files series, and introduces us to Michael Carpenter, a Knight of the Cross, and Harry’s friend.  We also meet Thomas Raith, a White Court vampire, and Harry’s faerie godmother, Leanansidhe.

So yes, we have vampires in this book, along with ghosts, and a Knight of the Cross who winces when Harry swears.  Something is making ghosts attack people, and Harry is out to find out why.

I like the building of Harry’s friends and contacts.  This is a good sign of a book series building momentum, especially as it means that people can appear in future books, and you remember their previous adventures, or how Harry put his foot in it before.

Grave Peril was published on 4th September 2001, and is available to buy from Amazon, Waterstones and your local independent bookshop.

Storm Front

Fool Moon

My review: ?????

Fool Moon is  the second Dresden Files book.  Harry Dresden is caught up in a case that has a mutilated corpse, paw prints and all on a full moon.  So yes, werewolves, but you know it’s not going to be that simple for Harry to work out what’s going on!

Fool Moon is a great sequel, and has Bob, Murphy and Susan Rodriguez returning, among others.  I very much enjoyed the story, and all of the twists and turns.

Fool Moon was published on 9th January 2001, and is available to buy from Amazon, Waterstones, and your local independent bookshop.

My review for the first Dresden Files book, Storm Front is here.

My review:????

Storm Front by Jim Butcher (Dresden Files 1) is the first in the Dresden Files series.  You might have seen the TV series for it, which can often be found on Amazon Prime!  But, anyway, I’ve been reading and loving these books for a long time, and since Jim Butcher is publishing 2 Harry Dresden books this year, I wanted to make them a re-read!

Harry Dresden is the only wizard that you can find in the phone book.  He lives and works in Chicago, and is a private investigator as well as a police consultant.  He has a big heart, will do the right thing, and will typically manage to get horribly hurt in the process.  

Storm Front has a double murder that Harry is brought in to investigate, and he realises that it could only have happened if someone was practicing black magic.

I love the series, as you can tell from the fact I’m re-reading it for the latest books!  It’s urban fantasy, and I always enjoy the ride that Jim Butcher takes us on!

Storm Front by Jim Butcher (Dresden Files 1) was published on 1st April 2000, and is available to buy from Amazon, Waterstones and your local independent bookshop.
