 Just keeps getting better June 14, 2008

Blood Rites is another masterpiece by Jim Butcher. Where Else can you get Flaming Monkey poo, Assasins, Hellfire, Vampire Porn stars, a dash of Fallen angel and Family all tied up into 2 detective cases and a personal grudge. Its great to see characters from the previous books and the tying up of some lose ends.
 Good book May 28, 2008

Still loven' the Harry Dresden Files. He still keeps me guessing. Good book, was hooked.
This author will hold you spell bound! April 19, 2008
These books are great! If you love science fiction you will love these books. The author is funny, witty and holds your interest from cover to cover. I ordered the complete set and read through it in a week! I hope they bring the television series back to SciFi. It is more entertaining a series that SciFi brought back, Dr. Who, or as I call it "the doctor's non habit forming sleep remedy"! I'm going to reread them soon since I enjoyed them so much! I'm sure there were things I missed on the first go around. I'm also looking forward to the next book in the series.

I'm something of a reluctant fan of the Dresden Files series. The whole premise behind the series seems a bit silly, and the quality of the books has been somewhat uneven. Still, there's something about Wizard Harry and his misfit companions (why does that sound familiar?) that is downright irresistible.
In Blood Rites, Harry is still in the midst of his one-wizard war with the Red Court of Vampires (though the book focuses only on the Black and White Courts). The plot of the book is split between Harry's discovery and planned annihilation of a Black Court nest and Harry's sole Vampire ally Thomas Raith enlisting Harry's help to protect a friend's adult film studio from magical harm. The latter plotline finds Harry dangerously entangled in a White Court power struggle. The Black Court storyline is handled well and probably should have been the subject of an entire novel. It had a Vampire$ feel to it, which is a big plus in my book. The White Court storyline was compelling for a different reason. The adult film/evil eye part of it was, to be blunt, stupid, but the detailed look into the politics, powers, and players of the White Court was quite interesting.
As interesting as each Vampire Court storyline was, they both took a back seat to the revelations Blood Rites contained regarding Harry's background and lineage. This is just the kind of character development the series needed, and will make for some very interesting reading ahead.
Another great read! December 29, 2007
I thoroughly enjoyed this book!
I am hooked on Harry Dresden!
Keep up the good work Jim Butcher!!
