Rating: 5/5
In the midst of the war between the vampires and the White Council, Harry is asked to do a favor for Thomas, a shifty sort-of-ally from the White Court of vampires. Thomas wants Harry to help his friend Arturo Genosa stay safe from a Malocchio curse (a type of entropy curse). It seems to be targeting the women in Arturo's life. So Harry is hired on in Genosa's adult film studio as a production assistant. On the first day, two people nearly die, and Harry meets some of the major players and starts to piece things together. Throughout this story, he meets other members of Thomas's family. Meanwhile, he is also on a mission to hunt down a Black Court Vampire named Mavra and exterminate some of her scourge in a preemptive strike. He hires Kinkaid and also enlists the help of his mentor, Ebenezer. Karrin Murphy rounds out the group.
As with the other books in the Dresden Files series, Harry runs around getting himself nearly killed at almost every turn. His wit is charming (and he seems a little happier in this book compared to the last couple). He struggles to pay his bills, and he learns a few very important and surprising things about his mother. I have honestly loved every single book in this series, but this one has been my favorite so far. The characters are well developed, and I am digging the relationships between Harry and Karrin and Harry and Thomas in particular. Every book is a delightful experience.
I was trying to pace myself/savor the series, but I had to start book seven right away. I love this series!
