Death Masks
Death Masks by Jim Butcher (The Dresden Files Series) 464 pages
I really like the character Harry Dresden and this whole series is a fun romp with equal parts True Blood, Buffy the Vampire Killer and pretty much references to just about every horror flick that has come out within the last decade. Oh yeah, this installment you can think the film, "Michael," too. So fun to read and picture in your mind. Harry is like the most down to earth wizard you will ever come across and even though he may be terrified inside, he always has wise cracks popping out a plenty. The humor is great, the action is related in every technicolor verbal explanation of the ooze coming out of dead bodies and bits of flesh being chopped off here and there in the fight scenes. In this story, Harry enlists the help of his buddy Michael, the ArchAngel who just happens to be married and has kids. Oh yeah, he is DIY home fixer upper. Must of picked up a thing or two from Mary and Joseph's boy, the carpenter. Love this series. I recommend it to everyone who loves the paranormal or is at the very least intrigued by it.
