The new novel in the #1 New York Times-bestselling Dresden Files.

Long ago, Susan Rodriguez was Harry Dresden's lover-until she was attacked by his enemies, leaving her torn between her own humanity and the bloodlust of the vampiric Red Court. Susan then disappeared to South America, where she could fight both her savage gift and those who cursed her with it.

Now Arianna Ortega, Duchess of the Red Court, has discovered a secret Susan has long kept, and she plans to use it-against Harry. To prevail this time, he may have no choice but to embrace the raging fury of his own untapped dark power. Because Harry's not fighting to save the world...

He's fighting to save his child.

The Dresden series just gets better and better as it moves forward! The latest saga has Harry out to save his daughter (he just learned of her existence at the end of the previous book) from the Red Court Vampires. His most powerfully impressive band of cohorts to date, travel with Harry to the Red Court's place of power where Harry's daughter is slated to be the guest sacrifice in a ritual meant to kill off her bloodline. aka Harry. Harry's band of Heavy hitters is made up of friends and some of those we have known to be semi-enemies in his past. Of course Murphy and Harry's half brother Thomas, the White Court vampire, are with him for the final battle. But there are others with Harry that will be a bit of a surprise and adds greatly to the intrigue! Of course in the backdrop is the usual strife within the White Council of Wizards. This installment builds to a powerful and gut wrenching conclusion. Anyone who has enjoyed the Dresden series will certainly not be disappointed with "CHANGES"!

Harry Dresden, Chicago's only wizard private investigator, is about to have the most tumultuous three days of his life. It will be turned upside down and inside out and, ...oh, stars and stones, no description I could come up with would do the events justice. I became a fan of the Dresden Files audiobook versions in 2010 after listening to the short story "Herot". Having only seen the short-live TV series up to that point, I was not prepared for the intensity of Jim Butcher's storytelling. James Marsters narrates all of the Dresden Files audiobooks and is in top form in this installment.

If you haven't ready any of the series yet, then this book is NOT for you. Sure, it can stand on it's own, but you'd be cheating yourself of a lot of insight and satisfaction that comes with knowing the extensive back story. Fans of the series wouldn't want to know too much going in, but I will say that many of the threads that Jim Butcher has been weaving through the previous book converge in Changes. And they converge with a bang! All of the recent books have a ton of action, but Butcher turns it up to 11 here. Secrets are revealed, new powers are found and precious things are lost. Old friends come to Harry's aid, new allies are gained and the odds are stacked against Harry more than ever before (if you can imagine that) as he faces a seemingly undefeatable foe. There is a very satisfying climax and an ending that makes waiting for the next books seem like an eternity. Fans of urban fantasy and dark humor should find a lot to like in Changes. Just don't make it your first Dresden Files novel. Mr. Butcher has said he plans to write 10-12 more books in this series, so thankfully it will not be the last.
