Publisher's summary

Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden is a very powerful wizard and a dedicated private eye. He is also a wise cracking trouble magnet. Fueled by a tempest of guilt, sleep deprivation, malnutrition, bad temper and frankly awful personal grooming. Harry is hurtling toward oblivion. According to Harry that is nobody's business but his own.

The Winter Queen of Faerie manipulates him into accepting a case to solve a murder and stop a war between the courts of Summer and Winter that could have literally earth shattering consequences. His own soul is up for grabs. Dresden must dig deep to discover that at time a willingness to accept a little help from your friends, be they a cub pack of werewolves, old loves in sheep's clothing, or a battalion of pizza loving dewdrop fairies, is a very good thing.

James Marsters is brilliant

The story started out interesting but got a little boring after a while. And sillier. And by the end I was waiting for it to finish. I would’ve bailed on it entirely except I really loved James Marsters’ narration.

Better and better…

Every one gets better. His writing is as punk as his characters. The storytelling and writing gets better with every novel. I hope I am as successful in the growth of my craft. Read it! Or listen!

Whoop Whoop! One of my all time favorites!!

I am really, really quite fond of this story! Overall, I'd give this a 10 out of 10 it's one of the best book in the series hands down (though they only get better as they go) you get to see a lot of the fairies in this book as well as the changelings! And I am a huge fan of all things fairy, and Jim, butchers representation of the fairies is quite good! And you get to meet queen Mab, who is one of my absolute favorite characters! You don't mess with the queen of Air & Darkness!! And this is another book fantastically read by James Marsters, whom I really enjoy hearing! The way he does the voices is 150% on point exactly how I imagined them!
