Publisher's summary

Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden has had a rough couple of weeks. As the only openly practicing professional wizard in the Chicago area, he has squared off against a multitude of supernatural bad guys. Harry has won the day against demons, poltergeists, sorcerers, trolls, vampires, werewolves, and even an evil faerie godmother. You might think nothing could spook him. You would be wrong.

Something is stirring up angry apparitions all over town. Something that can break all the laws of supernatural physics. Something that doesnt like Harry. His closest friends are being targeted. The net is closing in. Harry must find a solution soon or find this is one Nightmare from which he will never waken.

Bittersweet Whispers

If you have listened to earlier books in the series you will know that its narrator has a regrettable tendency to whisper. This trait is still evident in this book, though much improved from the first two. In regards to the story it is one of continual twists & mistakes piling upon mistake for our hero. The failures and successes combine to give this book a bittersweet feel, like pure dark chocolate. Enjoy!

Minor issues, but still a good book.

Narrator had issues with volume. Could hardly hear the story at some parts. But good story nonetheless, like all the Dresden books.

Very Good

Yet another good Dresden story. I really can't complain. There are a couple of errors that Marsters makes, but that's just how things go with some audiobooks.

great book

Like the author said in the forward, and like Patrick Rothfuss has said, this edition definitely course corrects the series. I'm glad I listened to Rothfuss and gave Dresden the second chance that I otherwise wouldn't have. Onward to book four.

Dresden is getting a little whinny.

I love the story and adventure but Dresden seems a little too preoccupied with describing women's features and always has to be beaten to a pulp before some "hidden energy" kicks in to save the day. It reminds me of "Rocky" movies.

A human wizard.

Once you start listening it's hard to stop. Dresden is amazing wizard, but also a human that you can relate to.

Dresden Files!

Jim Butcher never fails to deliver a walloping good time! James Marsters has a great reading voice, and gets better as the books go on.
