A more marvelous wizard you will never meet! 
 Storm Front was an instant favorite for me. Harry Dresden is a wizard for hire but I think of him more like a private investigator. The story starts out just like I imagine those old black and white private eye films would. A man sitting in his office, mumbling over his unpaid bills and talking to the viewer or reader. And of course don't forget the damsel in distress that comes along help that only he could possibly provide. Of course he also consults for the police. His most recent consulting gig with them is for a very grisly double murder, one the only a wizard would be able to do in such a way. And it just so happens that Harry is the only wizard he knows of in the area that might be able to pull something like that off! This is the best kind of urban fantasy you can hope to find. I have read a lot and no one does urban fantasy better or quite like Jim Butcher! 
 I absolutely LOVED this narration method of how Harry practically talks to the reader. It made me really feel like I was there with Harry and being included. Admittedly, this isn't the first time I have read Storm Front and it will definitely not be the last. This particular time around though I decided to give the audio book a try. It was awesome and I definitely recommend it. The narrator has a great voice for the part. I especially remember the natural breaths he took between sentences and his flow was so good. It made following very easy and enjoyable. 
 I have a fangirl type confession *maniacal laughter*, I have a total crush on for Harry Dresden. He is exactly my kind of dream boat. Tall, unkempt and nerdy. What can I say I have a weakness. It's like that saying with great power comes great responsibility, I get the feeling Harry believes this because he really does try to help, and if he doesn't woo else will? 
 A little of what's in store for the reader...you will meet all sorts of creatures: a vampire (but not the kind you would typically expect), a mob boss (yeah Iclass gin as a creature haha scarier than the vampire in my opinion), a horny side kick skull, crazed sorcerer with visions of grandeur,a frog-faced demon and even a Toot-Toot (that's his name, oh I want to Squeezle the cute little bugger!) With all the cool stuff that is going on in Storm Front it makes an excellent start to this kick ass series. 
 On an addtional note Harry Dresden can to have my babies...well if I wasn't already married. *swoon*
