This was a pleasant surprise! I mean c'mon, he is a Wizard in Chicago and he has a talking skull who is obsessed with ROMANCE NOVELS and helps him with his potions. lol What else could you ask for?

But I have to be honest, I am a sucker for urban fantasy. I think it's one of my favorite genres or sub genres (whatever you want to call this) and if you include police work with it? I am absolutely ******* sold. So I might be biased.

Bonus points for the main character being called Harry. I just finished reading Harry Potter and this one feels like: What Harry's life would have been like if he had actually followed through with the dream of being an Auror lol

I read this one on audible and the narrator has such a great voice and I might or might not have a crush on him. Don't tell anyone lol

I do wish this series had more romance as a subplot, it doesn't offer much on that regard. However, it does make me laugh constantly and that is a good enough reason for me to keep going with it. I might not venture through all 17 books in this universe lol or maybe I will. We will see.

I noticed some reviews mention how "sexist" this book is. I didn't notice anything particularly drastic, but also, this book is almost 20 years old if I am not mistaken? People saw the world differently back then. And even then, this is nowhere near as sexist as some people have said it was.

Moral of it all? I really ******* hope keyboard warriors find some ******* peace in 2024... or idk get a job or something. Going back to old books and trying to cancel them because they were WRITTEN 20 YEARS ago is the dumbest **** I have ever seen online. And people do a lot of dumb **** often. lol

Overall, a blast. If you're a dude, I am sure you will be obsessed with these, because I am listening to them with my husband and it was an immediate five star for him.
