Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden is a great character, he is care-free, witty, hard-boiled and he is a wizard. Storm Front is the first book in the Dresden Files series mixes magic and fantasy elements with my favourite genre; Hard-Boiled. Dresden is hired by the police as a consultant trying to figure out who is using magic to kill people in Chicago. Like most hard-boiled novels, there are a few twists and turns, the femme fatal and even a gangster to challenge the wizards morels. While I don't seem to enjoy many fantasy novels, I really loved the combination of fantasy and hard-boiled to create a new type of genre; I believe it's probably called Magic-Noir. These crossover have huge potential and with the classic hard-boiled recipe, Jim Butcher is on a winning formula (considering there is 14 books in the series so far). I'm looking forward to what will happen next, Dresden has great potential and I hope Butcher doesn't let me down.
