Review - Dead Beat - Dresden Files - Jim Butcher



Title: Dead Beat
Author: Jim Butcher

The seventh book in the Dresden Files series pits wizard Harry Dresden against his own kind – but these wizards use a dark magic dealing with the dead – necromancy.  And the stakes are as high as they have ever been, for if Harry fails, not only will he and his friends suffer, but the world may have an evil god to contend with.

Author Jim Butcher continues the story of Harry Dresden by bringing a few loose ends from past stories into Harry’s life and forcing his protagonist to examine the motivations and rules which govern his life and work.  Harry has been tempted to use dark powers before, and he has made more than one deal with “the wrong sort.”  But as the mortal world and the preternatural world intersect more and more, his temptations grow. 

And as they grow, so do the obstacles in his way, and so, we hope, does his power to defeat them.

Fast-paced and thrilling, these books keep delivering.
