Business has been slow. Okay, business has been dead. And not even of the undead variety. You would think Chicago would have a little more action for the only professional wizard in the phone book. But lately, Harry Dresden hasn't been able to dredge up any kind of work—magical or mundane.

But just when it looks like he can't afford his next meal, a murder comes along that requires his particular brand of supernatural expertise.

A brutally mutilated corpse. Strange-looking paw prints. A full moon. Take three guesses—and the first two don't count...

Review of 'Jim Butcher : The Dresden Files : Fool Moon' on 'Storygraph'

5 stars

This book is extremely fast-paced. It's non-stop and Harry Dresden shows himself as a guy with extreme endurance. He really gets beat up on this one, but he always gets up in the end. It has the two best potion recipes of all times: the Stimulant “Pick me up” potion (base liquid is coffee) and the Blending potion, to make him imperceptible to a werewolf. I had fun!

I am rating this one lower than the first book in the series because in a way, it felt very formulaic. Murders, call Harry in, he finds a supernatural link he can't share with Murphy, etc.

It was basically the first book with another nemesis.

However, it was still an entertaining read and page-turner, and Jim Butcher tosses in new stuff about Harry that really want me as reader to delve deeper into his history.

Let's see if Grave Peril can toss some surprises at me.
