Another great read by Jim Butcher!

Harry is back, and this time he's working for Arturo, a super successful porn film producer. The weird thing is, he's convinced that he's cursed because every woman around him keeps dying in the most gruesome and random ways. So now, Harry's stuck hanging out on the set of Arturo's newest movie, pretending to be his assistant, but secretly he's trying to figure out who cursed Arturo and why they did it.

As the story unfolds, we meet some fascinating new characters who add intrigue to the mix. Along the way, we delve into Harry's past, discovering a shocking secret. We also got a glimpse into Murphy's family life which was captivating, providing valuable insight into her character and the reasons behind her demeanor.

Butcher's trademark humor and witty jokes are scattered throughout the book, and I found myself laughing out loud multiple times.

The book maintains an air of mystery and holds our attention with its engaging and mysterious plot. The desire to uncover the mastermind behind the curse kept me hooked.
