Review: Storm Front

Storm Front by Jim Butcher
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Synopsis:

HARRY DRESDEN — WIZARD

Lost Items Found. Paranormal Investigations. Consulting. Advice. Reasonable Rates. No Love Potions, Endless Purses, or Other Entertainment.

Harry Dresden is the best at what he does. Well, technically, he's the only at what he does. So when the Chicago P.D. has a case that transcends mortal creativity or capability, they come to him for answers. For the "everyday" world is actually full of strange and magical things—and most don't play well with humans. That's where Harry comes in. Takes a wizard to catch a—well, whatever. There's just one problem. Business, to put it mildly, stinks.

So when the police bring him in to consult on a grisly double murder committed with black magic, Harry's seeing dollar signs. But where there's black magic, there's a black mage behind it. And now that mage knows Harry's name. And that's when things start to get interesting.

Magic - it can get a guy killed. 

My Thoughts:

This book dragged a lot for me. It did finally pick up in the 2nd half of the book but I really had to force myself to get that far. The 2nd half redeemed it with all the action culminating in that section. I would have liked some suspense or action earlier on. Overall, it was an ok book.
