Storm Front
Harry Dresden’s investigation of a grisly double murder pulls him into the darkest depths of magical Chicago in the first novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling Dresden Files series—now celebrating its 25th anniversary!
As a professional wizard, Harry Dresden knows firsthand that the “everyday” world is actually full of strange and magical things—and most of them don’t play well with humans. And those that do enjoy playing with humans far too much. He also knows he’s the best at what he does. Technically, he’s the only at what he does. But even though Harry is the only game in town, business—to put it mildly—stinks.
So when the Chicago P.D. bring him in to consult on a double homicide committed with black magic, Harry's seeing dollar signs. But where there's black magic, there's a black mage behind it. And now that mage knows Harry's name...
“A great series—fast-paced, vividly realized and with a hero/narrator who’s excellent company.”—Cinescape

Readers say *Storm Front* by Jim Butcher offers an engaging mix of action, magic, and humor centered on a flawed, relatable wizard in modern Chicago. ...
Great! 4.5 Stars! So excited to read more of this series! Harry Dresden is a great mix of hard ass PI and serious wizard with some good laughs there. I love when the regular world and the fantasy world interact and overlap and this is done in such a neat and believable way that if I saw someone advertising as a wizard I may just believe them. The story itself was great as well, a little bit of an of course that connects that way but a fun ride nonetheless. Really enjoyable read through and through.
I listed to the audiobook version of this. Mainly because I never found my physical copy and partially because it was read by James Masters 🤷🏾♀️. Wasn’t a bad listen. I’ll look into the next book of this series for sure.
