Storm Front (Book

Storm Front (Book 1 in the Dresden Files Series) by Jim Butcher   372 pages

Finally!   I started with book number 1 in a series.   Actually I had gotten the second book first but when I realized it was part of the Dresden Files I looked the series up and began with the first title to keep things nice and flowing.   The Dresden Files do not disappoint.    If you like murder mysteries with a little paranormal flair thrown in this is your series.   Jim Butcher is a good writer both in his descriptions to his dialogues.  A fun read.   I flew through the first title.   It is a mix of Buffy the Vampire Slayer with a little, True Blood and just a hint of Harry Potter.    Magic is afoot and when Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden, a wizard and private detective is around you honestly will never know what otherworldly thing might show up and how Harry might choose to deal with it.  He is a wizard by birth, both his parents have magic in their lineage.    The story is set in Chicago and      Harry works with the Chicago Police Department on cases as well as doing private detective work for the odd client.   Odd being few and far between the real odd creatures are the demons, etc. he comes up against.   Excellent book.    I will continue reading this series.   I highly recommend this book/series to paranormal mystery lovers, and pretty much everyone as the tale is an intriguing one.   Good book, good series.
