Book Review: Skin Game, a Novel of the Dresden Files by Jim Butcher

Skin Game by Jim Butcher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Wow....this book right here...I have so many words for the book, but thank god this is a review because I enjoyed this book so much that I had to wait till I get done watching some TV so I can properly book review this lovely book.

As the summary stated, Harry Dresden is having a bad day. I mean, he's the Winter Knight to the Queen of Air and Darkness and he's a wizard, so that's a lot. Especially when Mab orders him to work for his arch enemy, Nicodemus Archelone, to break into a vault and get something, then turn around and betray him. He does that, but there's a twist to it.

The vault? Belongs to none other than Hades himself.

What did Nicodemus want from said vault that belongs to the Lord of the Underworld?

The Holy Grail.

That's right, folx. The. Holy. Fucking.. Grail.

Yeah. That big.

And then the relationships between Harry and Murphy (which I ship so damned much) and of course, Harry and his cute, adorable daughter Maggie that made me cry because it was so darn cute when he tucked her into bed and read her a bedtime story. And then the ending when he and Murphy kissed in the hospital...my heart couldn't take it anymore because it was that damned good and wanted them to keep kissing forever, but they were in a hosptial and couldn't.

Phooey.

Anyway, back to the action of why Murphy was in the hospital...

It was because of dumbass Archelone and him attacking her and taunting Harry....ooof it made me so mad. But that...I'm trying to think of a way to do it politely but I can't, so I'm just gonna say it...that sex dream he had about Murphy that I wish came true (sans that shooting him in the head part). Oh, and by the way...

Apparently also Harry's pregnant with some weird spirit thing, and I love his inner self so much. His inner self told him to:

"Go fourth and freaking multiply! Drink from the Cup of Life! Carpe femme! For the love of God, get laid."-Harry Dresden's Inner Self

I love this quote so much. And I want to read MORE Harry Dresden so much (and the next two books he got coming out).
