is anyone *not* a sleaze into perving on teenagers?). So much creepy stuff about him checking out his apprentice (and so does every other damn male character - Thomas, Ramirez, Sanya, Bob, Ebenezar. We're revisiting a lot of the same ideas and just trying to up the stakes, e.g., what more can we wring out of the concept of a kidnapped child?Īuthor still unable to introduce a female character without some reference to her curves or whether she's hot. Not that soap-opera even has to be bad, but this is not a good example. I guess the romantic arc involving Anastasia Luccio wasn't far behind, but that was forgettable. The soap-opera quotient has been increasing, until in Book 12 it was off the charts. Now Harry is in a race against time - and six necromancers - to find the Word before Chicago experiences a Halloween night to wake the dead.Reading a bunch of these back-to-back they kind of blend together, and I guess they can probably do that anyway. The vampire wants the Word of Kemmler and all the power that comes with it - but first Harry has to determine what the Word of Kemmler is. So when a deadly vampire threatens to destroy Murphy's reputation unless Harry helps her, he has no choice. Karrin Murphy is the head of SI and a good friend of Harry's. And though most inhabitants of the Windy City don't believe in magic, there's a department that's been set up within the Chicago PD to deal with "strange" cases: the Special Investigations department.
Luckily Harry's not alone in this struggle.
Paranormal investigations are his stock-in-trade, and Chicago is his beat as he tries to bring law and order to a world that exists on the edges of imagination. Harry Dresden knows full well that such creatures exist.
So are a lot of other things you've heard about in stories, and even more you've never heard of.Vampires. There are powers, nations, monsters, wars, feuds, alliances - everything. There's an entire world that exists alongside the everyday life of mankind.
