Storm Front (Dresden Files)
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

I always wanted to read the Harry Dresden books, especially since I was a big fan of the canceled TV series, but never really got around to doing so. Last week I decided to give it a shot and I'm glad I did. I finished this book in record time and really enjoyed the world that Jim Butcher created. I know I'm really late to the party with this series but I'm glad that I have a ton ahead of me to read.
The novel/series is about Harry Dresden, wizard for hire in a modern city, and his exploits with both the regular police and supernatural aspects of the world. The first novel pits him against a man who dabbled too far into the dark arts and is creating a drug called Three Eyes that gives people a third sight into the supernatural world around them. The novel is a fun read, pretty quick to finish, and is a great starter into the world of Harry Dresden. I immediately picked up the second in the series and began right away. Looking forward to reading more from this series.

I didnât read this because I didnât believe the hype, and I thought he was more of a cop. Love the writing style and Harry. Easy enough story to follow along with. Same vibe as iron Druid chronicles but not as comedy based. Canât wait for the second
