Why read on Fable?
Publisher Description
The Dresden Files have taken the genre of paranormal mystery to a new level of action, excitement, and hard-hitting magical muscle. Now, in Death Masks, Jim Butcher’s smart-guy private eye may have taken on more than he can handle...
Harry Dresden, Chicago’s only practicing professional wizard, should be happy that business is pretty good for a change. But he also knows that whenever things are going good, the only way left for them to go is bad. Way bad. Such as:
• A duel with the lethal champion of the Red Court, who must kill Harry to end the war between vampires and wizards...
• Professional hit men using Harry for target practice...
• The missing Shroud of Turin—and the possible involvement of Chicago's most feared mob boss...
• A handless and headless corpse the Chicago police need identified...
Not to mention the return of Harry’s ex-girlfriend Susan, who’s still struggling with her semi-vampiric nature. And who seems to have a new man in her life. Some days, it just doesn’t pay to get out of bed. No matter how much you’re charging.

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The series is really picking up now! In Death Masks we see the return of some old favorites and the arrival of some fantastic new characters and species. As is most of the Dresden File books so far, there are multiple plots going on and it can be hard to keep them straight, but eventually it all comes together.
Harry’s insistence on “chivalry” continues to irritate, but every time he does underestimate a woman he immediately gets his ass handed to him so it’s ok. That said, if he had let Susan - the woman with now-superhuman strength and speed - lead the way more often things would probably go better for him.
Did not love the spicy scene between Susan and Harry. It was awkward, and I sped through that. But then, I never really got much sense of chemistry between them.
Thomas showing up drunk and high to a duel was peak comedy. More Thomas please.
Not enough of Bob or Mister. I want a book exclusively about their adventures.”

About Jim Butcher
A martial arts enthusiast whose résumé includes a long list of skills rendered obsolete at least two hundred years ago, #1 New York Times bestselling author Jim Butcher turned to writing as a career because anything else probably would have driven him insane. He lives mostly inside his own head so that he can write down the conversation of his imaginary friends, but his head can generally be found in Independence, Missouri. Jim is the author of the Dresden Files, the Codex Alera novels, and the Cinder Spires series, which began with The Aeronaut’s Windlass.
