With the help of Micheal, Bob the talking Skull and friends he saves the day (sort of)
Highly entertaining and fun read.

My favorite of the Dresden Files

At a nadir from the events in Grave Peril, Summer Knight takes Harry from lowest point and brings his life back together. We learn more about the youth and making of the most interesting Wizard PI ever written.
This is my favorite Dresden File, and I write this as book number eight was recently released.
What makes this one so great? We get to see Harry work as a detective, and are with him as he makes revelation after revelation across the bad hand of conflicting obligations he is dealt. Stuck with satifying a Faerie Queen, the White Council, his friends, himself, and sort of saving the world, Harry Dresden truly gets his act together and steps up to the challenge.
Butcher wrote this believable with rich details to a break-neck narrative pace. I can't forget the touching emotional scenes or the humorous parts. In short, the multi-layered plot and richness of character in this novel is rare in all fiction. Appreciate it.
Summer Knight also gets away from the vampires and more into the supernatural background behind the world of Harry Dresden, which was a big plus for me. Lots of urban fantasy authors seem stuck at one supernatural aspect, but Butcher breaks that mold.
In conclusion, if you like fantasy and don't have this book, buy it! You'll want to read it again. I don't care if you haven't read the rest of the series, buy it anyway. The book is that good.

Faerie vs Dresden vs Vampire

Poor Harry Dresden. Not only has he started a war between the Wzards and Vampires, but they all actually blame him for it. He was just trying to help an innocent, but the powers that be don't seem to care about such minutia.
But one of the real claims this series has on me is that Harry does care about such things, even when it (invariably) stumbles him into trouble of the worst kind.
So here is our poor hero, investigating a murder and theft intimatly connected to both courts of faerie, where neither side (as usual) is telling anything close to the whole story. And the White Counsel is using this case to decide if Harry should be handed over to the Vamps or just thrown to the wolves. And speaking of wolves, our favorite pack of shapechangers returns at Dresden's side to join in the mayhem and war that erupts all around him.
Does it get better than this? Well, read it and find out.

I just recently picked up Jim Butcher's "Dresden Files" series 2 months ago. I thought I would just give it a go...and I am now on book 5! I'm reading these books as quick as I can get my little mitts on them. They are seriously addictive. Butcher does a great job filling the books with great mythology and loveable characters. I would hang out with Harry in an instant, and who doesn't love Bob? If you are debating giving these books ago--do it, and soon-- otherwise people will think you're just reading them because you saw the series on the Sci Fi channel!
