Welcome to Litsy!

Harry does a favour for Thomas that has unexpected consequences and outcomes.

Cute puppies, dark curses, black and white vampires (again), and Lt Murphy at a picnic. 😁

Book 6 of the Dresden Files

#SeriesLove2023 @TheSpineView @Andrew65

🎧 I‘m loving this series. A lot of rereads but finding new things I didn‘t see before.

Harry is hired by Thomas (a sketchy vampire). Harry ends up a suspect in multiple murders. He, Murphy, Thomas, Kincaid & an old teacher from Harry‘s past take on murder in the porn industry 😆

Some nice character development & surprises.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This time, Harry has to protect the actors and production staff at an adult film set from a curse, while getting better acquainted with the White Court and the Raiths. All this while accidentally getting a puppy and learning more about his mother.

Once again I enjoyed Harry's wit and humour. I'm enjoying my journey in The Dresden Files and I particularly enjoyed this book which delves a little into Harry's family and past.

Solid 4 stars.

I think this has been the favorite of the series so far. Funny and suspenseful. Plus meeting Murphy‘s family is worth the read.

Best first line

As my Stormlight Archive re-read is almost finished (I've been doing them as audiobooks) I have decided to carry on with some Dresden for my next listen. 😁

ebook on sale today for $1.99. Apparently all major ones have this #deal: kindle, kobo, nook and google play ebooks.

Dresden's heart of gold is being used and abused once again. Thomas of the White Court has asked him a favour to help out a friend of his who is having trouble with a pesky entropy curse. Harry goes undercover on a porn shot to find the culprit and is once again dragged into the political machinations of a Vampire court. Of course he takes Murph along for the fun. 4/5 Stars. I really love this series.

Excellent story involving supernatural intrigue on the set of an erotic film (so, lots of levity and ridiculousness too)! Resolution is amazing.

I love Harry‘s smart-ass remarks as well as his POV as events unfold. Lots of secrets revealed in this one. I empathized with how these revelations made him feel. The reader is on this journey too and you can‘t help but feel for the poor guy.

What I love about these books is that there is always so much going on. Also Harry is such a wise-cracking smart ass! 😆

SERIOUSLY. Harry is the worst. Why do I keep reading these?! He's been shown time and time again that the women in his life are strong and tough and capable and skilled, and yet, he still feels this patronizing need to "protect" the women who are constantly saving his ass. Continued in the comments because I must finish my rant.

Yet again even when everything seems to be going wrong Harry ends up saving the day. I am really enjoying these characters. I love the addition of Thomas. His story surprised me. I was not expecting that. My only complaint is that there wasn't enough Bob. I can't wait to see where this series is headed next, especially after that mysterious ending.

Here is a fun quiz for all the Dresdenites (Is this what we call ourselves?🤔)

And apparently I am Harry, the man himself! Not sure I have his courage and bravery, but will sure as hell be able to match him in the accidental destruction, mayhem categorie.😂😂😂

Have fun with this!

Another #DresdenFiles finished. This was a really good one. Lots of stuff happened. I'm looking forward to seeing how everything will unfold as the series progresses.

One of my friends on FB is doing this so I figured I would do it too and post here as well.

I accepted a challenge to post covers of 7 books that I love: no explanations, no reviews, just the covers.

Day 1.

One of those opening lines to remember!!! And the Dresden Files fan art is awesome!

In some ways, this is one of the best books for me, so far, in the Dresden Files. The story is well-constructed with great twists and the world building is excellent. The portrayal of the women is just so horribly done, and while it once might have been considered a non-issue, it‘s not aging well. Lt. Murphy is a great character who is repeatedly disrespected in the way she‘s portrayed. #HarryDresden #urbanfantasy #DresdenFiles

So Jim Butcher reaches one of his biggest twists in the series. For all the elements to this series that bug the hell out of me, this is an example of what I do enjoy so much about this series. It‘s so well constructed. #HarryDresden #JimButcher #urbanfantasy #audiobook

Karrin Murphy, by far, is my favorite character in the “Dresden Files.” She‘s at her best whenever she‘s busting Harry‘s chops, but a quarter of the way into this book, she gained even more points with me. Quoting lyrics from a George Michael song. That‘s my kind of cop. Can we get a “Murphy Files” series instead? Please? #GeorgeMichael #iwantyoursex #UrbanFantasy #KarrinMurphy

Just started listening to Blood Rites. Been an emotional roller coaster ride for me with this book so far. First, Harry offends me by proclaiming himself a cat person and anti-dog (I'll keep this from my dog Wicket to protect him from the shock). Second, I really love the adorable dog who stows away with Harry. Third, aaaaaaaand we're back to Harry "Misogyny" Dresden. Yes, Harry, you are a neanderthal. (Continued in the comments)

The building was on fire, and it wasn‘t my fault.

"You can have everything in the world, but if you don't have love, none of it means crap," he said promptly. "Love is patient. Love is kind. Love always forgives, trusts, supports, and endures. Love never fails. When every star in the heavens grows cold, and when silence lies once more on the face of the deep, three things will endure: faith, hope, and love." - Thomas Raith to Harry Dresden

I think Harry Dresden may be my soulmate. Except for that "chivalrous" streak in him; parts of that would get old real quick.
I don't think that says anything particularly good about me...

Looks like I'm continuing the Dresden Files. Really enjoyed the last one and I've heard this is one of the best so here goes!

One of my favorite Dresden Files books. 😃📚

"Yeah, chocolate. ? Chocolate fends off all kinds of nasty stuff. And if you get hungry while warding off evil, you have a snack. It's multipurpose equipment."

"What can I say? I put the 'ick' in 'magic.'" Blood Rites Jim Butcher. Went to wedding. Found used book store. Got books including two Harry Dresdens I hadn't read yet.

Best of the series thus far. I love all of these characters so much, and I'm glad I got hooked into this series.

Had a traditional Sunday trip to Barnes and Noble with one of my best friends. Found some good reads!!! #bookworm #bookgeek #booknerd

I am going to have to say that my favorite #bookishsiblings have to be Harry Dresden and Thomas Raith. Although they didn't find each other until late in life (and not until book 6), their relationship quickly grew into one of love, protection, acceptance and smartassness.

Just out of curiosity I thought I'd scroll back a bit further on this #TBT: What was I reading 5 yrs ago? Another Jim Butcher series! The Dresden Files is a great series about a wizard who decides to open a PI business, lots supernatural creatures of every stripe & "muggles" who just don't understan

I love this series so much. I really all of the characters and I cannot wait to see what lies ahead for them. Jim Butcher writes amazing urban fantasy. Cannot wait to listen to the next one.

Lots of fun! Favorite of the series so far. Huge ending.

What can I say? Inspiring anger is my gift.

"and for my next trick… anvils." (I had to stop the audiobook at this point to concentrate on breathing. This man is a genius!)
