Jim Butcher

In this novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling Dresden Files, Chicago's only professional wizard takes on a case for a vampire and becomes the prime suspect in a series of ghastly murders.Harry Dresden has had worse assignments than going undercover on the set of an adult film. Like fleeing a burning building full of enraged demon-monkeys, for instance. Or going toe-to-leaf with a walking plant monster. Still, there’s something more troubling than usual about his newest case. The film’s producer believes he’s the target of a sinister curse—but it’s the women around him who are dying, in increasingly spectacular ways. Harry’s doubly frustrated because he only got involved with this bizarre mystery as a favor to Thomas—his flirtatious, self-absorbed vampire acquaintance of dubious integrity. Thomas has a personal stake in the case Harry can’t quite figure out, until his investigation leads him straight to the vampire’s oversexed, bite-happy family. Now, Harry’s about to discover that Thomas’ family tree has been hiding a shocking secret: a revelation that will change Harry’s life forever.

"This was the sixth installment in The Dresden Files Series and I could not put it down. Harry has just come out of a recent mess of a case where he has found himself stuck with a stowaway puppy when Thomas approaches him for help on a case. An adult film producer finds himself the target of some dark magic curse, which is causing the women in his life to be killed. Harry goes undercover on the set of the latest film shoot to see if he can get to the bottom of what's happening and find whoever it is that is hurting innocent victims. While working on the case Harry gets to meet some of Thomas’s family. The Wrath family are part of the White court of Vampires and anything but pleasant. Harry uncovers some information while working the case that will change his life forever. Harry had to team up with Murphy and Kincaid to also try and stop some of the Black Court vampires who seem to be in town and gunning for Harry. This series just seems to be getting better and better with every book."
