Once upon a time, in the magical land of San Francisco, there lived a not-so-ordinary girl named Laurel Pettigrew. She was supposed to be the Chosen One. The plan was simple: She would vanquish the great evil Tybus in an epic battle. But destiny had other ideas, and Laurel's performance in the whole heroics department was a colossal flop. Now, instead of being a legendary hero, Laurel's the resident pariah of the magic realm. And what’s worse, the dark wizard Tybus swooped in, took over the realm, and forced all supernatural creatures to live under his tyrannical rule.

The Catenan Republic—the Hierarchy—may rule the world now, but they do not know everything. I tell them my name is Vis Telimus. I tell them I was orphaned after a tragic accident three years ago, and that good fortune alone has led to my acceptance into their most prestigious school. I tell them that once I graduate, I will gladly join the rest of civilized society in allowing my strength, my drive, and my focus—what they call Will—to be leeched away and added to the power of those above me, as millions already do. As all must eventually do.

Publisher's summary
Harry Dresden lives!
After being murdered by a mystery assailant, navigating his way through the realm between life and death, and being brought back to the mortal world, Harry realizes that maybe death wasn’t all that bad - because he is no longer Harry Dresden, Chicago’s only professional wizard. He is now Harry Dresden, Winter Knight to Mab, the Queen of Air and Darkness.
After Harry had no choice but to swear his fealty, Mab wasn’t about to let something as petty as death steal away the prize she had sought for so long. And now, her word is his command, no matter what she wants him to do, no matter where she wants him to go, and no matter who she wants him to kill. Guess which one Mab wants first?
Of course, it won’t be an ordinary, everyday assassination. Mab wants her newest minion to pull off the impossible: kill an immortal. No problem there, right? And to make matters worse, there exists a growing threat to an unfathomable source of magic that could land Harry in the sort of trouble that will make death look like a holiday.
Beset by enemies new and old, Harry must gather his friends and allies, prevent the annihilation of countless innocents, and find a way out of his eternal subservience before his newfound powers claim the only thing he has left to call his own… his soul.

My name is Nate Temple, and I’m secretly a wizard. I ride a foul-mouthed unicorn, I drink with Achilles, and I’m pals with the Four Horsemen. I’ve even cow-tipped the Minotaur. I understand the theory of following the rules...I’m just not very good at the application. Because rules were meant to be broken, and St. Louis has a bit of a supernatural infestation these days. Someone should probably be keeping an eye on these things -and probably an eye on me, too. Before I blow up another building...or three.

We were outnumbered, outfought. Mankind was about to fall to the alien Flock. Our only chance was a desperate gamble, transforming Tier One SpecOps agents into deadly super soldiers. In the end, we won the war, but we lost the peace. The Flock surrendered and spent the next two hundred years making reparations, indentured to humanity, doing everything humans did not want to do. And the evolved super soldiers were consigned to an endless sleep. Ready if ever needed, but in time they became myths. Abandoned and forgotten.

Great listen for long commutes
Let me be clear, buy this audiobook!
I have a long commute back and forth from work and listening to Audible makes time fly. It's easier than standing up on a train or bus trying to read an ebook. James Marsters is a great narrator. I've have a couple dozen audiobooks and sometimes a good story gets derailed by a poor narrator. Marsters really gives Dresden a life of his own. You really feel like you are listening to the character speak.
This story is very well written. After 14 books, Jim Butcher still knows how to develop Harry Dresden's character. Following the events of the previous book where his "ghost" was wandering around Chicago, Harry is back as the Winter Knight. You will enjoy finding about Harry's rehabilitation under Mab's cruel hands and his first Knightly mission. Also you will get a payoff for the island Demonreach that was introduces awhile back. There is also some time given to the romantic feelings from Molly and Murphy. A new possible love interest is introduced as well. The ending is shocking and leaves fans waiting for the next Dresden book.
I wholeheartedly recommend Cold Days. You should even go as far as considering to buy the previous 13 audiobooks. That alone is worth membership in Audible. I've listened to Cold Days three times since I bought it, and I loved hearing the story each time.

uninteresting
the dresden / Murphy dynamic is exhausting ... and I'm tired of the fairy thing ... if he's constantly being played or manipulated then he's so dumb as to not be worth consideration. I cant remember in this series when the last time was he made an honest decision for himself without being forced ... played as a fool or manipulated like a sock puppet.

Harry Rocks!
Battling the darker side of his nature as he recovers from his near death experience and becomes the Winter Knight, Harry struggles with maintaining his self identity as he fulfills his commitment to the Winter Queen. Without giving away too much - he and his friends work together to stop release of world-shattering entities. Twists, turns - the end will leave you begging for more - and absolutely amazed at the mind of Jim Butcher. I cannot recommend highly enough.
Performance - James Marsters seems to personify the Dresden series. Yes, he still mispronounces words, but as he shows a finesse and understanding of the world of Harry Dresden, much is forgiven.
Again - great listen!

A Truly Fantastic Artwork
Would you consider the audio edition of Cold Days to be better than the print version?
In this case, yes. James Marsters has his delivery of the written form down so incredibly well that it's simply captivating. Originally I planned to space out my listening to this book so that it would last, however once I listened to the first hour I simply couldn't stop myself. Numerous times I found myself laughing out loud because of the excellent writing paired with Marsters superb voice work.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Cold Days?
The best moments of Cold Day's are just about any interaction Harry has with his old friends and crew. All are heartfelt, all are exceptionally written, and all leave you wanting more book!
What does James Marsters bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Humor, Drama, Concern, and a multitude of other feelings.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Lots of laughter, I mean this book made me full on belly laugh at times. It also had it's somber moments.
Any additional comments?
I recommend this book so hard, it'll make your teeth rattle. (Yes...I'm not sure what that means either)

It'll Be A Cold Day in....
Dresden lives, and as usual someone is already trying to rectify that problem. Only this time it's his new boss. In her attempt to get Harry back on his feet, Mab decides that his rehab should be murder attempts. If that's not enough he's no sooner back on his feet and near fighting shape when she gives him his first assignement. Kill Mav!!! And just when he thinks his plate is full to overflowing he finds out someone is trying to blow up Demonreach, and his Warden title is more than it appears. Oh and did I mention it's Halloween and the Earl King is back on the hunt, and is there really a way to kill an immortal?
James Marsters is back, and better than ever. Marsters is Harry Dresden, and returns to the series with a bang. Cold Days is Butcher's best work and Marsters' best performance.

Marsters returns!
Pros:
-Marsters is back
-Storyline more intricate than previous books
-Clincher at the end changes the series up nicely
-Dresden's character development
Cons:
-Main character and other key characters moving out of their traditional roles
Overall:
As stated above, the previous narrator, while not bad, was not marsters and the cocky Harry is back in the seat rather than the somewhat subdued inquisitive Harry. This provides for a much more entertaining listening experience that provides for a "Cant put it down" sort of read through.
On a sour note, the character development is good and bad. With much chaning the series seems to becoming something else, which is not bad. Like all other power-mongering novels or series. Dresden faces the very real threat of becomming TOO powerful, which spoils almost every major Hero story in the long run. It usually goes something like this:
Harry develops and is therefore stronger
Bad guys get stronger - > Explosions get bigger
Harry develops and is therefore stronger
Bad guys get stronger etc...
Until the entire world / city / landscape / (pick your own object) is destroyed utterly or the number of enemies that are at his level are so few that there would never be anyway to fight them.
Good overall moves (both in development and narration) i hop that Butcher has many, many more novels coming up!
