This week I'm sharing

Storm Front: The Dresden Files 

Book One


by

Jim Butcher

(sorry there's no book cover to share as it's the audio version)


      Here's A Small Snippet of the Book Blurb:      

My name is Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden. Conjure by it at your own risk. I'm a wizard. I work out of an office in midtown Chicago. As far as I know, I'm the only openly practicing professional wizard in the country. You can find me in the yellow pages, under Wizards. Believe it or not, I'm the only one there.

>^.^<

A modern-day wizard in an urban fantasy novel; not my usual kind of book to review here but I thought I'd mix it up a little today and yes there is a cat, he's called Mister and happens to be a rather large, grey feline. Although Mister is there just for a bit of fluff and is not really part of the plot.

I remember watching the TV show adaption of this series years ago and really enjoyed it, howeffur this is the furst time I actually got around to getting my mittens on a copy of the audiobook. 

Harry Dresden is a private investigator, who happens to be a little inept but he has a good heart.  After a rather nasty double murder, some gallivanting around town, near-death experiences and a whole host of magical phenomenon happening things really get weird but I'm not going to spoilerize it as mew know I don't do that.

Not quite as fun as the TV series but most enjoyable all the same. If mew like a good urban fantasy novel this is a total must for your audio library.  A nice unabridged adaption, purrfect for a lazy afternoon during lockdown.

Until next time

Keep calm and read on
