Easily my favourite book of the series by far! Laura grows up and marries, and her life really does start afresh in such a lovely and touching way.

The story is so lovely and concludes the series so beautifully in such a touching manner that it was just beautiful. I'm gushing, I know, and will probably edit this further when I read again in the future. The style, and happiness is overwhelmingly needed and so much better that the others.

I'm struggling to describe how much I love this and quite why, but I think it is just a simple case of a happily ever after.

Book Rating
Book number 6 in Jim Butcher's Dresden Files series, and the quality shows no signs of letting up.

This time, Harry Dresden is hired by his vampire acquantaince Thomas Raith to investigate a series of highly unusual murders surrounding an adult movie maker, which leads to further revelations (previously hinted at in earlier books) about Harry's own mysterious past, and just why Thomas has been an occassional ally ...

While I reckon it is probably possible to read this as a 'stand-alone' novel, it's probably best to have read the previous five books first in order to understand a few of the references made during the course of this one.

Read after the series
I’ve jumped on the ‘must read before the tv series’ and I’m really glad I did. I’ve been meaning to read this ever since it came out but TBRs are what they are. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience, it was well-researched and deep.

Working in academia, I appreciated the context and the attention to detail was excellent in this area. The story was engaging and satisfying but complicated. I read and listened to this book dependant on what I was doing and it was defintely harder to concentrate with the audio at times.

I’m looking forward to the rest of the books.
