Series Review: The Dresden Files (Books 1 - 14), By Jim Butcher

By Jim Butcher

This review covers the first 14 books and Side Jobs (a collection of short stories)
Complete list of books at the bottom of this review.


Harry Dresden is a professional wizard. He lives in Chicago and is listed in the phone book. Normally, business is slow, but in a world full of fairies, vampires, werewolves, and numerous other nasties - It's only a matter of time till someone needs his help.

The Dresden Files combine humor, mystery, and non-stop action with a unique obnoxious tone.
The result: Fast-paced, enjoyable reads that keep your attention from beginning to end. Constant characters and relationship development create a series as enjoyable to read as to listen to.
