I love how the Dresden Files books are basically just a huuuuuge helping of And Then It Got WORSE. Ive been listening to them as audio books now and then, and this is the fifth book in the series. Listened and reviewed the first one in, let's see, September 2009. Wow. I'm slower at listening than Mr. Butcher is in writing...

In this book! Professional wizard Harry Dresden is in his usual state, which is broke, so he appears on a TV program regarding all things magical. The other guests seem veeeery interested in talking to him, except for the one he actually went there to talk to. And soon enough, Harry's hunting for the Shroud, being challenged into duels with nasty Red Court vampire dukes to start or avoid a war between the vamps and wizards, battling fallen angels with Knights of the Cross and if that's not enough, his old sweetheart Susan is back in town.

And if that's not enough fun, it's read by James Marsters. Mmm. I could listen to him for hours. And hey, I just did. Halfway through the next one, actually...
