===Books=== They're pretty awesome, seriously, go read them. Private Eye/Wizard Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden takes on the forces of evil with his magic, his wits, and a near endless supply of old pop culture references. I'll try to summarize them without spoiling them, if it seems that i'm putting in the most exciting bits, I'm not, they're just that great. # ''Storm Front'': Not the author's best work but not terrible. Involves curses, a drug ring, and naked battles with a demon (it's less kinky than it sounds.) # ''Fool Moon'': Widely regarded as the worst book in the series but still pretty passable. Has werewolves out the wazoo (totally not furries, trust me. And Dresden ''does'' get the line, "[[Awesome|... or I'll kill you before you're halfway]] to [[furry]]" whilst holding a wolfaboo at gunpoint.) # ''Grave Peril'': This is where shit gets good; Vampires (WoD variety with a side of Succubus/Incubus, not Twilight shit, you'll learn to hate them for completely different reasons though) and a scary-ass powerful ghost. # ''Summer Knight'': Faeries (the old folklore "Steal Children and Mutilate Livestock/People" kind, not the Disney kind). Its got badass Dark Eldar-type Faeries, slightly less badass Craftworld-type Faeries, and everything in between. Also, the sobering after-effects of losing a loved one and emotional crap like that. Also, don't call them faeries to their faces (its like a racial slur.) # ''Death Masks'': To sum it up, atheist warriors of heaven, conquistador vampires, Fallen Angels, and a villain so evil that he makes Honsou look like Sanguinius. Seriously, he's so evil, that a Fallen Angel literally older than the concept of time thinks that he's one of the most evil things ever. Also it got a Samurai Paladin. # ''Blood Rites'': A pretty good read despite the ridiculous premise. Two different flavors of vampire and porn stars. Manages to be pretty awesome. # ''Dead Beat'': One of the best if not the best book in the series. Dresden fights necromancers and rides a zombie T-rex,if that does not sound awesome you are very clearly disturbed. Also, theres's a Warhammer Fantasy easter egg that rhymes with Shmeinrich Shmemmler. # ''Proven Guilty'': Tracking down monsters that feed on fear at a horror movie convention. Its a bit slow at the start, but ends really well. Good book for Molly fans. # ''White Night'': Most of the details are spoilery, but basically, something's hunting magic users and framing Harry. A number of long-running sub-plots culminate. # ''Small Favor:'' The villain from ''Death Masks'' comes back and tries to start the apocalypse again AND Harry has to deal with Faeries again. Includes dolphins, angry goats, a hostage situation, and a quest for a fresh donut, don't worry, it'll make sense. # ''Turn Coat'': This one's bad guy might second closest thing to pure evil since that guy from ''Death Masks'', it may be even more evil than him. Also, there's a magic cop who was framed for a murder he didn't commit and now he's on the run from his former allies while he tries to clear his name. Will he find out who's responsible? Will he get revenge? Will I stop trying to make this sound like an 80's television show? MAYBE. # ''Changes:'' A whole bunch of spoilers, like paradigm shift, next level spoilers. It's a bit more of a thriller than a mystery but this is where shit gets real in the series. Do NOT start with this book, or any one that comes after it. They're amazing but they'll ruin the whole series for you and they usually require some prior knowledge of the series to fully appreciate. # ''Ghost Story:'' Pure unadulterated spoiler, sorry. But it recaptures some of the noir atmosphere from the earlier books and sets you up for the next story arc. # ''Cold Days'': An assassination/training montage, followed by ballroom dancing, followed by investigation, followed by H.P. Lovecraft references, followed by more investigation. And insane Faeries throughout the entire books. Also, Santa's there, which is awesome, except when you learn that Santa is inspired by Odin, who also happened to be the inspiration for Khorne (which might actually make it even more awesome). # ''Skin Game'': Tied with ''Dead Beat'' for the best book. Imagine ''Ocean's Eleven'', but replace breaking into a casino with breaking into the Underworld (yes, the one where Hades lives), and replace a buttload of money with the Holy Grail. A welcome chance to let the new status quo finally sink in for a bit, after three books of ''dramatically shattering it forever'', as well as a sweet-ass thriller. # ''Peace Talks'': Marcone attempts to hold a Peace Conference for the Accorded Nations to see if they can make peace wih the Fomor, Harry deals with family drama, Thomas is revealed to be a father-to-be, Dresden gets a disease straight from The Other Harry's universe (seriously, Conjurivitus?), and shit directly leads off into the next book in the series "Battle Grounds". Very much a finding of feet after 6 years of no releases. # ''Battle Grounds'': Everything explodes. Seriously. Everything. Chicago is on fire, the supernatural world is simultaneously going to war and pissing itself, and Harry, as always, is smack damn in the middle of it. How could he not be when someone brings a magic superweapon to his town? Mixes in some moments of levity, some absolute heartbreak, a METRIC TON of action scenes, and a few twists (some kinda obvious, some not so much.) If all you have ever wanted is to see your favorite supernatural characters kicking the shit out of each other, this is the book for you.
