Storm Front by Jim ButcherMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
My second Harry Dresden novel, which turned out to be the first book in the series...and all I have to say is wow...holy moly.
So this book introduced Harry Dresden as a Wizard, who got hired to work on a case with Karrin Murphy about a murder, along with a woman named Monica Sells who needed help with her husband. But who would've thought that these two cases were connected to each other? Especially when the White Council is also after Harry and wanted to catch him in the act when they thought he cast the spell to kill those folks. But Harry didn't, even though he was tired to the bone. He figured out who was casting the spell and wanted to stop him.
Shockingly enough, it was Monica Sells's husband, Victor, who was using a drug called ThreeEye, using...erm, how can I say this...sexual energy to fuel his and call up a storm to kill these people, and even tried to do it to Harry. But Harry turned it around, even though it caused him to lie to Karrin and nearly got arrested, get blamed for something he really didn't do this time, and narrowly escaped death by a scorpion attack.
All in all, a normal day for Mr. Dresden, huh?
Oh and also he got beaten up by the mob too, thinking that it was Johnny Marcone, but it wasn't. Also, they way he summoned Took was pretty damned neat (though I don't recommend doing that to the poor fairy) and also Bob was funny with his love potions and stuff.
