Another well written book from Butcher. He tells his stories so well its hard to believe they are fiction. In this book Harry is on the trail of a Loup Garou while several other types of werewolves are on his. 5 out of 5.

Excellent!! I enjoyed this one even more than the first one in the series. Harry Dresden and werewolves, what more could you ask for.

Non stop action and lots of excitement. We learn a little more about Harry and see more interaction between him and Murphy. Looking forward to reading more!

As a fantasy fan for over 50 years, I have to recommend ALL the books in this series. But, be sure to read them in order or you will not understand all that is going on. Truly the VERY BEST fantasy series I have ever read!

Fun, fun series - Sam Spade meets Harry Potter vs. the FBI. This book shapes up better than the first in terms of character development and is long on action as well with a variety of types of werewolves, lycanthropes, etc. ripping through the landscape.

I really liked this book, even better than the first one. I think Harry's character is endearing to both men and women alike so I just recently started my husband on this series with Storm Front since I believe he prefers a male lead. That said, many male leads are often indifferent or unemotional like so many men are, but Harry allows you to see his softer side at times too, beneath his tough outside exterior. Because every good guy has a good heart. :)

This book centers around werewolves and their various forms, and as Harry enters into a battle with the supernatural creatures, all the aspects of his personna are stretched and put to the test, including again, his friendship with Murphy, which still hadn't fully recovered from the last episode. Susan is back and Harry looks deeper at his feelings for her, especially when their lives are threatened and they're clinging to each other on what might be their last night alive.

I am addicted to this series! A good combination of supernatural and "Film Noir." A kind of Raymond Chandler meets Cliver Barker. Harry Dresden is a Philip Marlowe of the Nevernever.

Harry Dresden is asked to investigate a series of murders that are taking place around the full moon. His investigation leads him on track to catching one werewolf, while other werewolves are hunting him. This book is non-stop action. Carve out a block of time to read this one, because you won't want to put it down!

This is a solidly good read. Rather than just stopping at the generic werewolf angle, Butcher added a whole other dimension. I read a lot of fantasy genre books, and most start to sound the same after a while. Not this series! This second book is very fast paced. Can't wait to keep reading this series!

Hilarious and well-written. One of the best fantasy series out there.

This is Book 2 of the Dresden Files.

While I did not dislike the first book, I wasn't that impressed. This book, however, was great. The things that bothered me about the first book were not present in this one. It was a fun read with a good mystery, lots of suspects, constant action, an interesting plot, and much better character development.

Now that I've gotten used to the writing style and have a better feel of the characters, I can definitely say that I am hooked on this series. The more I learn about Harry, the more I like him. In this book he's up to his eyeballs in werewolves and the mystery behind them will leave you hanging until the very end.

Lost items found. Paranormal Investigations. Consulting. Advice. Reasonable Rates. No Love Potions, Endless Purses, or Other Entertainment. Business has been dead. Okay, business has been dead. And not even of the undead variety. You would think Chicago would have a little more action for the only professional wizard in the phone book. But lately, Harry Dresden hasn't been able to dredge up any kind of work - magical or mundane.

But just when it looks like he can't afford his next meal, a murder comes along that requires his particular brand of supernatural expertise.

A brutally mutilated corpse. Strange-looking paw prints. A full moon. Take three guesses - and the first two don't count...

Good book; Lot of violence, but a definitely a page turner. From back of book: "Business has been slow. Okay, business has been dead. And not even the of the undead variety. You woul dthink Chicago would have a little more action for the only professional wizard in the phone book. But lately, Harry Dresden hasn't been able to dredge up any kind of work--magical or mundane.

Harry Dresden, P.I. has a desk full of bills and no new clients to go along with it. Just when he's hitting rock bottom he's called on to solve a brutal killing that has all the hallmarks of a werewolf murder. Even though he can't afford to give it up, this case may take everything from him in the end.

This is the second book of the Dresden files, and I can't wait to read the next.

This is a great idea for a series, and I hope the books continue in their quality!

Not bad, starting to see a formula, and after only 2 books, that's not a good sign.

This is a fun series. It gets better as it goes along. I love the Murphy/Harry interaction, the completity of the story, and the fast-paced ending. I'm constantly trying to figure out who's good and who's evil, and all the subtilties in between. I look forward to exploring the series further.
