I really need to stop staying up till the wee hours reading... but it's hard to put a Butcher down! Once again he gets the action flowing and doesn't let up - and he keeps the series fresh with different twists and turns that keep his characters developing. Harry is now, albeit reluctantly, a Warden of the White Council. But the war with the Red Court vampires is not going well, and he and his mentor Ebenezer still suspect there is a traitor in the White Council. So Harry has been asked to discreetly find out why the Sidhe are not doing more to help them against the Reds. As it never rains but pours, Harry gets a call from his friend Michael's oldest daughter Molly, asking him to bail her boyfriend out of jail. The rebellious teenager is helping out in a horror convention, and suddenly the horror becomes real as movie characters come to life on a killing spree. My only beef about this series is Butcher's penchant for putting Harry through his paces like he's doing a season of 24 - Harry never seems to get any sleep and is always on his last dregs, yet always manages to dig up some reserves to win the day. It's verging on the unbelievable, which is saying a lot in this series! But it's as always a thrilling rollercoaster of a ride, with a fascinating development in Molly's character that makes me eagerly anticipate the next volume.

“5 out of 5. Michael's and Charity's oldest, daughter Molly, is in serious trouble and it's up to Harry to save her. This story finally fills the reader in on just exactly why Charity is so very charming and delightful toward our hero (yes, that was sarcasm). In addition this one kind of sets up for the coming epic battle between Good and Evil ... in this case McCoy asks Harry to find out why the Fearie Court did nothing to stop the Red Court from using fey lands in an attack on the White Council. This, plus the situation with Molly, leads Harry's team into the fey Winter Court, where fun of all sorts abounds. ”

“Harry Dresden, Warden of the White Council of Wizards, is sent in search of black magic practitioners, and finds himself not only fighting horror movie monsters, but Charity too! He is aided by the Lady of Summer and her Knight, Murphy, and of course Bob, as he discovers that something or someone is using them. Everyone is being played, but to what end? Harry continues to fight in the ongoing war against the vampires of the Red Court, save the life of Molly, Michael’s oldest from Winter and the White Council, and resist the temptations of Lasciel. Can he do all that when his power is all tapped out?”

“The White Council has asked Harry to look into rumors of black magic. His investigation takes him to Splattercon!!!, a convention for horror movie fans. There he finds that the movie monsters are actually killing the movie fans.

Lots of characters from previous books are brought back for his one, including Michael and his family, the White Council and the Faeries. A great story with lots of action. This series just gets better and better. My rating: 4.5 Stars.”

“This one is more like 3 1/2 stars. There were some really great suspense scenes intermixed with the predictable. I saw where this one was going, but as soon as I thought that a twist came into play. ”
