Book Crush turned into Book Review #3

When you read as much as I do and you don't have any kind of romantic outlet, sometimes you develop these crushes on characters. Now, its like not creepy crushing but enough to make you not feel so blue. :)

My most recent love of my life is a character named Harry Dresden. He's a detective wizard who works in Chicago. He's not particularly attractive and the crush didn't happen in the first 5 books... its taken my a while. But I've finally admitted that I'm more attracted to him than I wanted. haha. I have discovered as often as Jim Butcher (the author pictured below) puts him through living hell, Harry never loses his focus of right and wrong. He's kinda the white knight with tarnished armor. He gets beat to kingdom come in every book but has a funny, sardonic, cynical attitude. He never looses his focus on the end game. He's got this noble trigger in him that hates to see women suffer or be used and abused. Harry has this skull that an air spirit, named Bob, in it; a recently acquired dog, named Mouse, who is a GINORMOUS guard dog; and his wit.

I did not intend for this to be a book review but more about Harry however it's turned into one. I do recommend all of these books but they have a fair amount of cussing, violence, and adult situation... so a no go for the young ones. Written in first person (again my fave style) Harry makes me laugh... a lot. and out loud. I'm not done with all of the books but there are 12 (soon to be 13) and I'm on #9: White Kinght. As a series in its entirety I give it 5 hearts. ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ Individually, some get 3.5 - 4 ♥'s but most are a 5.
