I DEVOURED this series. I found it thoroughly entertaining and cannot wait for the next book. The main character is strong but not static, and the supporting characters are entertaining and well-developed. These books have it all: supernatural creatures (fairies, vampires, werewolves, etc.), action, romance, mystery, horror, political maneuverings, philosophical undertones, religious debate, and oh so much more.
I suggest you read these via audiobook as the masterful James Marsters IS Harry Dresden.
It is also worth knowing that while each book has it's own storyline that wraps up at the end of the novel, there is a larger story arc flowing throughout the series, so it is not necessary to start at the beginning, but it is a good idea.
The books in this series are, in order:
1. Storm Front, 322 pages
2. Fool Moon, 352 pages
3. Grave Peril, 378 pages
4. Summer Knight, 371 pages
5. Death Masks, 372 pages
6. Blood Rites, 372 pages
7. Dead Beat, 396 pages
8. Proven Guilty, 406 pages
9. White Night, 416 pages
10. Small Favour, 432 pages
11. Turn Coat, 545 pages
12. Changes (my favourite so far), 432 pages
13. Ghost Story, 432 pages
14. Cold Days, 528 pages
15. Skin Game, 608 pages
Total pages: 6,362
5/5 overall, and I wouldn't rank any of the books below a 4/5.
This looks great! Much easier than entering a review on every book, if you don't already have a review for each one.
