I really need to stop staying up till the wee hours reading... but it's hard to put a Butcher down! Once again he gets the action flowing and doesn't let up - and he keeps the series fresh with different twists and turns that keep his characters developing. Harry is now, albeit reluctantly, a Warden of the White Council. But the war with the Red Court vampires is not going well, and he and his mentor Ebenezer still suspect there is a traitor in the White Council. So Harry has been asked to discreetly find out why the Sidhe are not doing more to help them against the Reds. As it never rains but pours, Harry gets a call from his friend Michael's oldest daughter Molly, asking him to bail her boyfriend out of jail. The rebellious teenager is helping out in a horror convention, and suddenly the horror becomes real as movie characters come to life on a killing spree. My only beef about this series is Butcher's penchant for putting Harry through his paces like he's doing a season of 24 - Harry never seems to get any sleep and is always on his last dregs, yet always manages to dig up some reserves to win the day. It's verging on the unbelievable, which is saying a lot in this series! But it's as always a thrilling rollercoaster of a ride, with a fascinating development in Molly's character that makes me eagerly anticipate the next volume.
