BEST DRESDEN FILES BOOK YET!!
"The building was on fire, and it wasn't my fault". How can you not laugh at that first setence knowing how drama follows our poor Harry around?!
Harry is running from poop flinging monkey demons holding a box of puppies and the it does not let up from there. There is so much action in this book and Harry is at his best throwing his wise cracks around and dragging Murphy into the thick of things once again. In this book we have a lot of our questions answered.......
I was having trouble hanging on to the series, the 4th & 5th books just seemed to really go slow and drag, this book has given me faith in this series again!! If you are reading 4 or 5 and are having a hard time like I was stick with it the 6th one ROCKS!!

Book six, in which we learn more about the Black Court and White Court of vampires, a bit about the porno industry, and fill in some gaps in Harry's family history. Plus Murphy takes off her pants!

Not my favorite, but still a great series. This one added a lot to the lore of the universe, though.

In the 6th book of the Dresden Files series, Harry Dresden finds himself going undercover on the set of an adult film. The film's producer believes he's the target of an entropy curse that is killing the women around him. Harry got involved in this case as a favor to his vampire acquaintance, Thomas. Tomas had a personal stake in the case that Harry can't quite figure out, until he meets Thomas's vampire family.
This was my favorite book in the series...so far. Thomas is a great character and his family is very interesting. I hope we'll be seeing more of them in the future.

This is Book 6 of The Dresden Files.
I continue to stand by a statement I have made before: the series keeps getting better.
As usual, Harry finds himself pressed from all angles by seemingly impossible and deadly circumstances. In this book he has to deal with Black Court Vampires, White Court Vampires, a nasty entropy curse that is targeting women at a porn movie set, and a hired mercenary that will have Harry killed if he doesn't pay his fee by Tuesday morning (Switzerland time, of course). And yet through all of that he still manages to keep his razor-sharp wit and biting sarcasm.
In addition to all of the action and intensity of the cases, Harry finds himself confronted with the ghosts and secrets of his past. This is the book where Harry learns about himself (and where we get to learn right along with him). So much is revealed in the last third of the book...details about Harry's mother, his family, the White Council, the way in which magic has been used and abused throughout the centuries.
This book leaves Harry in an emotionally interesting place and I think his character is so much better and more developed because of it. That is just one of the reasons I think that this installment the best Dresden Files book yet.

For Harry Dresden, Chicago's only professional wizard, there have been worse assignments than going undercover on the set of an adult film. Dodging flaming monkey poo, for instance. Or going toe-to-leaf with a walking plant monster. Still, there's something more troubling than usual about his newest case. The film's producer believes he's the target of a sinister entropy curse - but it's the women around him who are dying, in increasingly spectacular ways.
Harry's doubly frustrated because he got involved with this bizarre mystery only as a favor to thomas, his flirtatious, self-absorbed vampire acquaintance of dubious integrity. Thomas has a personal stake in the case Harry can't quite figure out, until his investigation leads him straight to Thomas's oversexed vampire family. Harry's about to discover that Thomas's family three has been hiding a shocking secret: a revelation that will change Harry's life forever.

The entire Dresden file series is hilarious and a great read. I lost a lot of sleep with this series - once I started reading I really didn't want to stop (I know it sounds cliche but it is true).

A real thrill ride along with Harry Dresden, Chicago's only professional wizard. His ad in the yellow pages reads: Lost items found. Paranormal Invetigations. Consulting. Advice. Reasonable Rates. No Love Potions, Endless Purses, or Other Entertainment. Harry has an incredible way of really ticking the wrong people off and ends up fending off things such as flaming monkey poo and death curses. A terribly fun and fast paced read.
