Book Review: Lost Loves and Other Sacrifices
Summary: 4 Stars
This is the fifth novel in the DRESDEN FILES series and takes place a short time after the events of SUMMER KNIGHT. Our hero, Wizard Harry Dresden has been hired to locate and retrieve a missing object, a fairly routine task for a private detective, even one who specializes in cases involving the magical realm. Even Harry though was taken by surprise when he discovered that the missing item was the Shroud of Turin. An even nastier surprise was that others were in pursuit of the Shroud as well, including some particularly tough demons. Harry thought he had a home field advantage when he tracked down the Shroud on his home turf of Chicago, and was even more pleased when his former lover, Susan returned from her self imposed exile. Harry soon found that his uncharacteristically good luck quickly morphed into his more usual bad sort. In addition to the competition over the Shroud, Harry found himself challenged to a duel, one that would be refereed by one of the more unusual magical creatures that Harry had encountered.
This series is a humorous, dark urban fantasy that features a Wizard, wise cracking Harry Dresden who works as a private detective in Chicago. The premise is that the magical world of fairies, demons, and vampires co-exists with the mundane one just beneath the surface. Only a few mortals are aware of this, not realizing that much of the unexplained tragedies in the news have explanations that lie in the magical world. The overall story arc of this series is quite pronounced, so much so that the novels should be read in as close to order as possible for maximum enjoyment.
Summary of Death Masks (The Dresden Files, Book 5)
Now in hardcover for the first time- book five in the New York Times bestselling Dresden Files series!Harry Dresden, Chicago's only practicing professional wizard, should be happy that business is pretty good for a change. But he also knows that whenever things are going good, the only way left for them to go is bad. Way bad.
Recent examples: A duel with the lethal champion of the Red Court, who must kill Harry to end the war between vampires and wizards...Hit men using Harry for target practice...The missing Shroud of Turin-and the possible involvement of Chicago's most feared mob boss...A handless and headless corpse the Chicago police need identified...
Not to mention the return of Harry's ex-girlfriend Susan, who's still struggling with her semi-vampiric nature-and who seems to have a new man in her life.
Some days, it just doesn't pay to get out of bed. No matter how much you're charging.
