About this ebook

In the first novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling Dresden Files series, Harry Dresden’s investigation of a grisly double murder pulls him into the darkest depths of magical Chicago…

As a professional wizard, Harry Dresden knows firsthand that the “everyday” world is actually full of strange and magical things—and most of them don’t play well with humans. And those that do enjoy playing with humans far too much. He also knows he’s the best at what he does. Technically, he’s the only at what he does. But even though Harry is the only game in town, business—to put it mildly—stinks.

So when the Chicago P.D. bring him in to consult on a double homicide 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...

“A great series—fast-paced, vividly realized and with a hero/narrator who’s excellent company.”—Cinescape

I read through to the end because I had purchased, not entirely for the plot. The book can be entertaining, but I had to skim through several parts, especially those where the author tried to go "deep", the writing just felt childish and simple too often. Same for the plot itself - a neat concept, but far too often deus ex machina-ed and I never felt honestly in touch with any of the characters. An okay book, with a fun concept, in need of better writing and less super-stereoryped characters.

I love this book. I read it on my nexus 7 and my HTC One. But since my nexus died, I tried to read this on my old iPad and got a nasty error that I had somehow downloaded MY COPY of this book 3 times and was now unable to download my property due to the authors DRM policy. So this is it for me regarding this series. The book was great and I heard that the next editions are also incredible, but I don't support DRM books like this so I can only give 2 stars.

It's a shame that the artist felt the need to be so Blasphemous in his writing, I would have given the book five stars it was a great idea intertwining the Arcane and the normal world but to use God's name in vain sentence after sentence as well as chapter after chapter continuously to me is unnecessary and I will not be buying any more of his books.

About the author

A martial arts enthusiast whose résumé includes a long list of skills rendered obsolete at least two hundred years ago, #1 New York Times bestselling author Jim Butcher turned to writing as a career because anything else probably would have driven him insane. He lives mostly inside his own head so that he can write down the conversation of his imaginary friends, but his head can generally be found in Independence, Missouri. Jim is the author of the Dresden Files, the Codex Alera novels, and the Cinder Spires series, which began with The Aeronaut’s Windlass.
