Love the narration and as before I could not stop listening. Which leads us into needing to know more about family.

Blood Rites

My absolute favorite story in the Dresden Files. Harry gets Mouse by default and learns he has a brother. Love it.

intense installment in the series

this book has more points of intense emotional impact than the otheds. it also deals mostly wi t h white court vampires and establishes Thomas Wraith as another character in Dresden's world.
