From The Publisher:
"One of the most enjoyable marriages of the fantasy and mystery genres on the shelves,"(Cinescape) the Dresden Files have become synonymous with action-packed urban fantasy and nonstop fun. Fool Moon continues the adventures of Jim Butcher's most famous-and infamous-reluctant hero…
You'd think there'd be a little more action for the only professional wizard listed in the Chicago phone book. But lately, Harry Dresden hasn't been able to dredge up any kind of work: magical, mundane, or menial.
Just when it looks like he can't afford his next meal, a murder comes along that requires his particular brand of supernatural expertise. There's a brutally mutilated corpse, and monstrous animal markings at the scene. Not to mention that the killing took place on the night of a full moon. Harry knows exactly where this case is headed. Take three guesses-and the first two don't count…

Aquí ya se nota que cuando la cosa se mueve, pocos autores escriben mejor la acción, además mete a uno de los grupos aliados que van a ser recurrentes.
A partir de ahora, las reseñas de la saga van a ser un poco así, porque cualquier cosa que diga de más, puede ir spoileando los libros anteriores.
I'll admit I enjoy these books, Echoing what almost every review around me has stated Murphy is still a shitty "Friend" if you can even call her that. The book screams 2001 and because of that I can't fault the author for writing for the time.
Re-read, hoping to make it past book 4, folks say it gets better
This is my favorite Dresden Files book (I'm aware that is a minority opinion). I love the desperation of the end. The Where's Waldo aspect of identifying all the different types of werewolves. The themes of wrestling with dark power, and trusting your sidekicks

As is the case with all of Butcher's books, the strong point in the book is its fluent narrative prose, which, unlike some books in first person, is a constant back and forth between the reader and narrator. Dresden is as always immensely charismatic, using cultural references and self-deprecating humor as a way to create a bond with the reader while delivering his narrative in a seamless way.
