Small Favor is book ten in the DRESDEN FILES. If you haven???t read this far, go back! You Shall Not Pass!
Harry thought his life was getting a little calmer when Karrin Murphy calls him in to look at a really weird crime scene. Soon they discover that mob boss Gentleman Johnny Marcone has been kidnapped, and this is a problem because it violates the treaty Marcone signed which made him a neutral independent state in the supernatural world. Queen Mab shows up and demands that Harry get Johnny back, which Harry must do because, several books ago, he made a promise to do her a favor.
This favor seems small, but it turns out to be the scariest and most deadly operation Harry???s ever been involved with (yet). Harry???s not sure which faction of supernaturals is responsible for Marcone???s kidnapping ... Read More: http://www.fantasyliterature.com/reviews/small-favor/
I wasn't as invested in this book as the previous ones. It sure is fun and full of action, but I guess I wasn???t in the mood for so much action all at once. I can see that this book will bring serious repercussions for the plot in the future. Harry Dresden is again pushed to his limits, with overpowering supernatural entities. I was worried about a particular character's future health, something I'll have to discover in the next book.
