Publisher's summary

Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden is Chicago's only openly practicing wizard. He is also dead broke. His vast knowledge and magical skills are unfortunately matched by his talent for making powerful enemies and alienating friends. With little more than his integrity left, he accepts an offer of work from Lt. Karin Murphy of Chicago's Special Investigations Unit. He wants to redeem himself in Murphy's eyes and make enough money to quiet his rumbling stomach.

Soon he finds himself pinned between trigger-happy FBI agents, shape-shifiting motorcycle gang members, a threatened mobster boss, and an heir to an ancient curse along with his primal fiance. Throw in environmental activists and a pair of young werewolves in love and you have something of Fool Moon.

narrator

It is unsettling hearing the narrator's mouth noise when he swallows. It sound like he's eating during some of the scenes. and the stops and starts when he stops the recordings are very noticeable and distracting.

Bit Cliché, Mostly Solid

While it does rely a little bit on cliché and tropes, it is masterfully performed and is a great story for those of us who enjoy the genre.

Awesome

Lots of stomach turning gore but otherwise pretty great story. As always I loved James Marsters narration. I get this feeling of sitting around a camp fire in the woods and he’s telling a ghost story. I think it’s cool.

An exciting ride

It was amazing. I thoroughly enjoyed the narrator and his depiction of Dresden. I honestly had a gard rime not listening to the story unfurl.

Another Brilliant Magical Mystery

Another Dresden that has you riveted! You follow Harry along as he stumbles into one corner or another, trying his best to keep people alive and find answers. Someone, someones, something is killing around the full moon and Dresden is determined that he has to help save us all! Harry is so darn human and as always I loved it. My husband hasn't read any of the novels, but got stuck in the car with me as I finished this book. He didn't want to get out! He had to listen as this mystery unfolded. Harry is so good at getting himself in the worst situations.

James Marsters and I will probably never see eye to eye on exactly how Harry should be read. In Storm Front, I complained about Marsters sighing too often. I didn't get that here. Maybe I've come to accept the apathetic tone he gives Harry's narrative. Instead, there was an occasional wet or dry mouth sound that would pull me out of the book. However, when the going gets tough Marsters can really up the intensity. His portrayal of Harry in those last few chapters actually had me forgiving the last two books of weird mouth sounds.

Someone was in a mood

Dresden spends the whole book in a pity party and Murphy keeps blaming him for things that aren't his fault, leading to more pity party and self doubt. The overall story is good, the narrator is fantastic as usual, but the author was clearly going through a funk when this was written and the pathetic reactions to easily explained situations gets old.
Also, the street wolves story line is very much abandoned.
