I love this series so far. BUT this was the most poorly written one out of the first three. There were too many plot lines, less actual detective work and more Harry randomly coming to conclusions that didn't make sense, romance/relationships needed to be more fleshed out to have an impact. Individual scenes and concepts were great. But as a whole I felt confused and pulled all over the place. I hear the series gets better so I'll continue forward. But this one was disappointing sadly 😭

Great book, and the narration by James Marsters is absolute perfection. He has multiple accents, multiple voices, and breathes life into ever strained moment, every breathless tension, and every weary hour that Dresden fights the good fight. Highly recommend both the series and the audiobooks voiced by Mr. Marsters.

Look, he's fighting against monsters with very little regard for his life and weapons we've never even thought of. If you have things that you're uncomfortable with, they're probably in this book. That being said, if you've gotten to number three in the series, I don't think this will be any more upsetting than the first two.
