White Night (The Dresden Files, #9)
by Jim Butcher (Goodreads Author)
by Jim Butcher (Goodreads Author)
The best Harry Dresden so far. Really good. I listened to it on audio and didn't want to stop listening even to sleep. Also didn't want it to end. How's that for good?
In White Night, someone is murdering witches in Chicago, and Harry steps in to find out who and why. While doing so, he goes up against the White Court vamps, some of whom are trying to take down the White Court King (actually Queen, but...oh, never mind).
Harry's really grown into his power and become the kind of wizard I always knew he could be. Yes, he's still getting beat up, but nothing like before. He's more confident, for one thing, and he has better wards, for another. And he's accepting help from others, for a third, where before he was mostly lone wolf. He and Karryn (forgot how to spell her name) are even closer, and Thomas...well, you have to read this one to learn what Thomas has been getting up to. What a hoot! Lashiel (he calls her "Lash," much to her bemusement) has a big part n this one too, as do Elaine and John Marcone. And ghouls. Lots and lots of ghouls.
This is a keeper, and one for the re-read pile.
I don't know if I can wait until after NaNoWriMo to read the next one. Dang it. Maybe I'll dangle Small Favor as a reward for finishing, say, 25k words by, oh, how about November 19? (I always get a huge amount of writing done during the long Thanksgiving holiday weekend so I don't need to have half of it done by the 15th of the month in order to make it to 50k by November 30.)
