Meet Harry Dresden, Chicago's first (and only) Wizard P.I. Turns out the 'everyday' world is full of strange and magical things - and most of them don't play well with humans. That's where Harry comes in. Harry is the best at what he does - and not just because he's the only one who does it. So when the Chicago P.D. has a case that transcends mortal capabilities, they look to him for answers. There's just one problem. Business, to put it mildly, stinks. So when the police bring him in to consult on a grisly double murder committed with black magic, Harry's seeing dollar signs. But where there's black magic, there's a black mage behind it. And now that mage knows Harry's name. And that's when things start to get . . . interesting. Magic - it can get a guy killed.

I'm not very sure about my rating. I like Harry, he's an interesting guy. But the story was sometimes predictable and a bit boring. And at the same time, other scenes were exciting and captivating. So I'm not very thrilled about continuing this series.
I'm going to read the second book. If I like it more than this one, I might continue the series.
I took a little while to get into it but about a quarter of the way through I was hooked and couldn't put it down until I finished. Harry become a very likable hero and I look forward to reading more in the series.
Not what I'd expected, but great nonetheless!
Butcher knows how to handle Chekhov's gun. He keeps his promises, which made reading this book feel very rewarding. Also: If something can go wrong, it will in this book. There's no time for the story to lose its tension, since shit's hitting the fan 24/7. And I love it!
