good for me, good for you

there's no other way to say it, this book has everything, a dancing sea tortoise, nude redheads Male and female, a pizza delivery driver named LURCH and the same underwear worn 5 days in a row, BLOOD RITES? MORE LIKE RITES BLOOD, all jokes aside, another great episode of the Dresden files.

Wow!

I’ve read many reviews on the series, and most seem to agree Death Mask is when the series takes off. While I enjoyed it and found the narration much improved, Blood Rites knocked my socks off. Yes, I highly recommend it. Now on to Dead Beat.

Great Series

This series is probably one of the best series of books I've ever listened too. Seems to just keep getting better and better, book after book.
