This product was well described and priced very low. I couldn't buy the book locally for the price + shipping i paid over amazon. The book was shipped exceptionally fast and was a great read. If anyone is wondering why use amazon, the answer is clear. Great books at great prices delivered to your door.

This Omnibus is from the SCI-FI Book of the Month Club and was only sold to members. I bought it so that I could own a hardcover edition of these books. (I prefer hardcover for books that I can read over and over again)

There are plenty of reviews for Blood Rites and Dead Beat out there, so I'll let you rely on those for more details. What I will say, is that Jim Butcher continues to become a better and better writer and each book is more compelling then the next one. Definitely worth a read if you are a fan of Fantasy and Mystery books. Mr. Butcher has a great sense of humor also, and each book provides additional laughs.

The cover caught my eye and I thought, "Eh, why not?" Now I'm devouring the other Dresden Files by Jim Butcher now. One has got to love a wise-A$$ wizard in present day Chicago!
