Whats not to like about this series?I would, could, have, and will continue to recommend [it] for as long as my breath holds out. It takes the best elements of urban fantasy, mixes it with some good old-fashioned noir mystery, tosses in a dash of romance and a lot of high-octane action, shakes, stirs, and serves.
SF Site
Jim Butchers Harry Dresden series has consistently been one of the most enjoyable marriages of the fantasy and mystery genres on the shelvesa great seriesfast-paced, vividly realized and with a hero/narrator whos excellent company.
Cinescape
Dead Beat
Butchers latest maintains the momentum of previous Dresden outings and builds the suspense right up to a rousing conclusion.
Booklist
Horror fans with a sense of humor will be pleased.
Publishers Weekly
A mix of the supernatural and bounding adventure. A fun-loaded series.
Kirkus Reviews
Blood Rites
Filled with sizzling magic and intrigue as well as important developments for Harry, the latest of his adventures will have fans rapidly turning the pages.
Booklist
Death Masks
Butcher maintains a breakneck pace in Harrys exciting fifth adventure. This imaginative series continues to surprise and delight with its inventiveness and sympathetic hero.
Booklist
Death Masks is his most assured book yet, a smooth melding of inventive story lines, dark supernatural themes, edge-of-your-seat adventure, strong characterizations, and irreverent humor. Thebalance is perfect.
SF Site
Intense and wild, Death Masks is another roller-coaster ride from Jim Butcher, a skillful blend of urban fantasy and noir, sure to satisfy any fan and leave them begging for more.
The Green Man Review
Summer Knight
As usual in Butchers books, the action begins on page one and moves rapidly from therean excellent, and in my opinion powerful, chapter in the Dresden case files.
The Best Reviews
Butcher is definitely among the best. Summer Knight starts with a bang and doesnt let up. A very good detective series. Fans of any kind of fiction can enjoy Butchers fun and fast-paced style. I cant wait until Harry Dresden is on the case again.
The News-Star (Monroe, LA)
Grave Peril
A haunting, fantastical novel that begins almost as innocently as those of another famous literary wizard named Harry.
Publishers Weekly
Harry is a likable protagonist with more than his share of troubles, and Grave Peril will keep readers turning the pages to find out how he overcomes them.
Booklist
A great supernatural who-done-it. Few horror, fantasy, or mystery tales get any better than this wonderful plot that smoothly combines all three genres into one novel.
BookBrowser
Fool Moon
Its even more entertainingthan the first in the series, good fun for fans of dark fantasy mystery.
Locus
Storm Front was one of the most enjoyable books I read last year, and Fool Moon is even better. Butcher keeps the thrills coming, with plenty of mystery, suspense, and edge-of-your-seat action.
SF Site
A fast-paced, fascinating noir thriller.
BookBrowser
A really enjoyable read. Jim Butcher strikes just the right narrative balance between wizard and wise guy, mystic and mobster.
Lynn Flewelling, author of Traitors Moon
Storm Front
A very promising start to a new series, not to mention an unusually well-crafted first novel.
Locus
Interesting characters, tight plotting, and fresh, breezy writingan auspicious start to an engaging new series.

Butcher deftly blends the fantasy and detective genres in this entertaining yarn.

For my son.
The best thing that ever happened to me.
I love you, Short-stuff.
I owe another round of thanks to the usual suspects: The inmates of the Beta Foo Asylum, both long-term and recent arrivals. The Dresden Files new editor, the warm and gracious Anne Sowardsare you sure you actually live in NYC, Anne? My agent, Jennifer Jackson, who has been doing ten kinds of running around getting various deals put together, and for whom I am most grateful.
More thanks to my family for their continuing support and love. To Shannon for being who she is, and whose good opinion I would work tenwell, wait, no, maybe three times as hard to keepokay, okay, five, tops. (Ten would be more hours than exist, babe, and besides, when could I play Halo?) Also thanks to my son JJ, whose boundless energy, enthusiasm, and love are wonderfully intimidating.
Oh, and also for my ferocious furry bodyguard, Frost, who supports my career by frightening away any bad guys long before they get near enough to actually bother me, and by helping me eat any potentially distracting snacks.
