This, I think, overcame Dead Beat as my favorite Dresden book (First being Changes).
Detective noir + fantasy = Dresden Files. That’s what you tell people when you pitch this series. One book is about solving a murder committed by magic, another can be finding someone kidnapped by a group of vampires, and Skin Game is about robbing a vault…in the underworld…while being forced to work with a/the primary villain of the series.
Harry talks to Maggie (Finally!), Butters, Micheal is back in action, Uriel gets humanized, and Harry
Oh, and also,
Cerberus is a very good boi.

Goodman Grey is one of my new favorite characters.
