Blood Rites (Book Six of the Dresden Files)

by Jim Butcher
Black Court, and White Court, and Red Court, oh my! There are plenty of vampires to go around in this book, of different sorts. This is the first time we really get to see the White Court in action, and while they’re less inhuman in appearance than the other vampires, they’re no less dangerous. Harry Dresden is hired by Thomas, a White Court vampire, to investigate a series of mysterious deaths in the entourage of a pornography producer. As usual, Harry winds up in over his head – a Black Court vamp is in town and gunning for him, and before he knows what’s happening he winds up embroiled in the Machiavellian politics of the White Court. Good stuff. The fight scenes in this are terriffic, and we get to meet Lt. Murphy’s family, which gives a bit of insight into why she is the way she is. I can’t wait to read the next book again! (I read it first by accident, but figure it’d be a good idea to keep reading the series in order. Besides, I want to postpone running out of Dresden Files as long as possible.)
Book 10 in 2007.
