Love Dresden!! He is a bad a$$!

Where does Blood Rites rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This is a typical Jim Butcher book, not to say that takes anything away from the story or characters. He (Butcher) stays true to his characters without being monotonous.

What other book might you compare Blood Rites to and why?

Other books that are comparable ... The Anita Baker series! Everytime, it never fails, I find myself thinking what if Dresden and Anita got together!? The chaos! The wonderful chaos!

Any additional comments?

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, DRESDEN!

Interesting reveals abound.

Any additional comments?

Good story. We learn a lot about Harry and other character's past and connections. Interesting stuff which I won't reveal here. I can't wait to see where it all goes. I like all these books. This one is no exception.

Still a fun read

Not as good as some of the previous but still quite enjoyable on the whole. The action is flatter. It does seem to be setting up some very interesting relationship conflicts. All in all a bridge book.

Harry discovers more about his mother.

Thus far I have truly enjoyed all the novels, but this one really surprised me multiple times. I highly recommend it.
