The new novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling Dresden Files series. Long ago, Susan Rodriguez was Harry Dresden's lover-until she was attacked by his enemies, leaving her torn between her own humanity and the bloodlust of the vampiric Red Court. Susan then disappeared to South America, where she could fight both her savage gift and those who cursed her with it.Now Arianna Ortega, Duchess of the Red Court, has discovered a secret Susan has long kept, and she plans to use it-against Harry. To prevail this time, he may have no choice but to embrace the raging fury of his own untapped dark power. Because Harry's not fighting to save the world...He's fighting to save his child.
Lives up to it's name! I'm actually really eager to get to the next book. There's a ton that changes here and not totally sure how it will progress... But Butcher has upped the ante.
Full review to be added later.
If i could have given this book 10 stars I would have. Every book I read in the Dresden files keeps getting better, and everytime I wonder how is Butcher going to top this. Except for the often prolonged and somewhat cheesy dialogue, the movie references that totally fly over my head because I am a bookworm, not a movie buff. This book lived up to its name. Harry loses his house and his car, and any hope of rekindling a relationship with Susan. The battle with the Red Court in Mexico was epic. I can't say I was commpletely surprised when Harry took up the post of the Winter Knight, though I wonder if his death at the end of this book relllieved him of those duties.
