Pages: 418 

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Though this novel lacks the usual tongue-in-check humor Dresden is known for, the action in this story leaves no room for it. The preceding novel, Peace Talks, and all the books before lead up to this moment. 

Dresden has never faced worst odds. He has battled and survived vampires, zombies, a mysterious island and even fallen angels. But an old being has arisen and decided that she is going to rule the Earth once more. The last Titan has brought an army to Chicago and decided to wage her first battle here. 

Paranormal forces of all kinds, arrive in Chicago and choose sides. In this case some of Harry's worst enemies may be his greatest allies. 

Harry’s mission is simple but impossible: Save the city by killing a Titan. Just the attempt will change Harry’s life, Chicago, and the mortal world forever.

Summer Knight (Dresden Files #4) by Jim Butcher

Ever since his girlfriend left town to deal with her newly acquired taste for blood, Harry Dresden has been down and out in Chicago. He can't pay his rent. He's alienating his friends. He can't even recall the last time he took a shower.

The only professional wizard in the phone book has become a desperate man.

And just when it seems things can't get any worse, in saunters the Winter Queen of Faerie. She has an offer Harry can't refuse if he wants to free himself of the supernatural hold his faerie godmother has over him--and hopefully end his run of bad luck. All he has to do is find out who murdered the Summer Queen's right-hand man, the Summer Knight, and clear the Winter Queen's name.
