Fool Moon

By Jim Butcher

“One of the most enjoyable marriages of the fantasy and mystery genres on the shelves,”(Cinescape) the Dresden Files have become synonymous with action-packed urban fantasy and nonstop fun. Fool Moon continues the adventures of Jim Butcher’s most famous—and infamous—reluctant hero…   You’d think there’d be a little more action for the only professional wizard listed in the Chicago phone book. But lately, Harry Dresden hasn’t been able to dredge up any kind of work: magical, mundane, or menial.   Just when it looks like he can’t afford his next meal, a murder comes along that requires his particular brand of supernatural expertise. There’s a brutally mutilated corpse, and monstrous animal markings at the scene. Not to mention that the killing took place on the night of a full moon. Harry knows exactly where this case is headed. Take three guesses—and the first two don’t count...

Easy read, good book. Fans of Laurell K. Hamilton would like this author.

2.5/5 Obvious villain, bad side characters barely liked Murphy in this one with not trusting Dresden and my main problem is Dresden survives by the skin off his teeth every time is he any good at his job? A very average book.
Same plot as last book with Dresden hero complex and attitude towards himself and women just becoming annoying.

This series is very good but this book has a lot of build up. Most of Dresden's communication is with us. Though he's the only wizard in the yellow pages, he has a lot of secrets that he isn't able to explain. The other characters aren't very big on communication either; Murphy is horrible at it.

Dresden, in this book, takes a licking and keeps on ticking.

While the plot wasn’t as engaging as the first book, I really like Harry as a character and the larger world Butcher is teasing.

I enjoyed all the magic and werewolves in this a lot! However I think characters is where this book lacked a little, mainly Dresden and Murphy. Only because the not talking about what’s going on and going behind each other’s back is a little annoying. Dresden needs to drop a little of his knight in shining armor and let people in!
