Required Reading

Life is complicated enough without getting into hotwater with federal agencies so: TAKE NOTE Many things I review I received at no charge in exchange for an honest review. Consider this as informing you that ALL things I review may have been gotten at no charge. Realistically about 40% but in order to keep things above board just assume that I got the stuff free. I do not collect information on my readers. If cookies or other tracking stuff is used on my blogs it is due to BLOGGER not ME. Apparently the European Union's new rules state I need to inform you if cookies are being use. If they are it isn't byu me, consider yourself INFORMED.
Words like, “sponsored,” “promotion,” “paid ad” or even just “ad” are clear ways to disclose that you’re being paid to share information and links so BE AWARE that some of what I write can be described as an AD by the government. BTW I will NEVER say a product is great, super or even acceptable if it isn't, whether I got it free or NOT!

Skin Game by Jim Butcher




Harry Dresden is plunged into a nightmare heist by psychotic faerie queen Mab. 

The continuity of this series is based on Harry being put in untenable situations and the creative ways he escapes them.   Harry is faced with death or dealing with his most hated enemy.   As a member of a seriously dysfunctional team, Harry and friendenmies are invading a domain that people are dying to get into.

Harry is forced to recognize his own arrogance, his reluctance to enter into relationships and what it means to be a father.  This volume provides more personal growth  for the character than any I can remember.

I also enjoy references to outside literature, movies and music.  Butcher has obviously read many of the same  books I have, has imbued his love of the force into his character and loves the good against evil nature of Star Wars.   I never met Butcher but if  I did, I am reasonably sure that we share a similar moral yardstick.

As all of his books, (I have endeavored to read them all.)  Butcher gives us characters we can related to, hate, love and despise.   Character likability is criticized by some but I still contend it is a major factor on how much likability is in a book.  A character can be liked due to it's insidious nature or it's inspiring nature.   Butcher gives us a wide range.   (yes I am a FAN)

I highly recommend the book.


This book may have been received free of charge from a publisher or a publicist. That will NEVER have a bearing on my recommendations.
