The mixture of werewolves definitely added to the awesomeness of the story, and it is a pretty good story. Now back to the good stuff! I LOVED the werewolves in this book! Instead of sticking with one type of werewolf, the author went with an assortment of wolves – from naturally born werewolves to magically cursed werewolves (read more about them here). We didn’t see much of his power in the first book, but in this one he kicks some serious ass (and it’s about damn time). But hey, at least he finally shows off his badass wizard powers. This character has some seriously bad luck and honestly, it bums me out. I’m not entirely sure what the author’s deal is with these two characters, but I let out a groan of annoyance every time Murphy pops up on the page.Īnother thing I’m really not a fan of is how depressing Dresden is, I mean, nothing good ever happens to him. I can’t stand Murphy and I really hate the relationship her and Dresden have.

I also had issues with some of the relationships in the book. I will say that it was better than Storm Front, that one was way more rushed. It’s hard to connect to a character in a book when everything happens SO quickly. Certain scenes in the book really should have been explored a bit deeper, it would have added to the feel of the story and the character development as well. However, there are times when it moves just a bit too quickly.

It’s a highly entertaining and fast-paced read.

This book is non-stop action, there isn’t a single dull moment to be found. In Fool Moon, Dresden is hired onto a police case that involves a brutally mutilated corpse, and it isn’t long before the wizard figures out it’s a werewolf behind the killing… and that’s when the real trouble begins. The first book in the series, Storm Front, doesn’t have a single werewolf in it, but as I said above, Fool Moon is all about the big bad and scary-as-hell werewolves. The Dresden Files is a series that follows Harry Dresden, a wizard and PI that occasionally helps the police solve supernatural murder cases. Hurray, it’s a book review! I just finished Jim Butcher’s Fool Moon, the second novel in The Dresden Files, and one that is packed full of werewolf-y goodness (or badness since they cause all kinds of bloody chaos).
