Storm Front: The Dresden Files, Book 1

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

Thoroughly enteraining and fun storyline and characters! I give the book 4 stars for these aspects, however, I have to give it 2 stars for the brief, blunt (often unbelievable, but ignorable) story writing style. This brings the overall rating to a 3.0. That being said, I wouldn't hesitate to listen to the next one in the series simply because of how fun the first one was.
I couldn't put these books down.
Doing a re-read of this classic!
I really enjoyed this book! It wasn't what I excepted and I couldn't be happier.
Very similar to Laurell K. Hamilton. Easy light reading.
