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.

Five Stars!!

What made the experience of listening to Cold Days the most enjoyable?

Dialog, plot, descriptions of events and characters. Each book has characters moving forward with their lives. Finding out why characters are the way they are. It is like a long letter from close friends catching up on what has been happening in their lives.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Cold Days?

There are far to many to pick one.

Any additional comments?

It is hard to wait for his next book.

James Marsters does it again!

Once again James Marsters proves himself to be one of the best narrators working today.
His ability to keep the large cast of characters vocally separate and defined is amazing!
Not to mention the way his acting ability truly brings out both dramatic and comedic moments.
Love it!

Fantastic, and glad James Marsters is back

The story and the writing are as awesome as I've come to expect from James Butcher. I found the story line, and the changes to the situations of the characters, really interesting. Also, James Marsters is back! For me, he is the voice of Dresden. I didn't like the last audio book as much because someone else narrated it.

Always Wanting More

As always, Jim Butcher knows how to keep us on our toes and wanting more. It's never a dull moment with Dresden. Just when you think things are going one way, BOOM, you're thrown for a loop.

Great like the rest of files.

The book and the writing is fenomenal like all the dresden files. Only thing I'm sad about is the death of the blue beatle the absence of the small apartment and the lack of Bob. Harry loosing the mut and Bob is one of saddest things for me. But as a book this is great in all aspects.

Apparently a heading isn't optional

I definitely enjoyed the books more prior to Dresden's "death." It's still a fun story and the character development is fascinating. James Marsters' performance is top notch!

Another amazing thrill-ride!

Another stellar performance by James Masters bringing Harry and his world to life. Jim Butcher takes you on another hair-raising escapade full of plot twists you never saw coming.
