Book Reviews of Proven Guilty (The Dresden Files, Book 8)Book Review: Friend of the family Summary: 5 StarsThis is the 8th novel in the DRESDEN FILES series of urban dark fantasies featuring Wizard Harry Dresden. As the story opens Harry is settling into his duties as a Warden for the White Council, a position he has attained by virtue of being one of the few trained and talented Wizards left alive after the events of the previous novel, DEAD BEAT. As Harry struggles to reconcile his new Warden duties with his own troubled past he acquires a new client, the daughter of his friend Michael. Little Molly is not the gawky preadolescent Harry remembered from happier days she has grown from sweet but gangly into a beautiful but punked out and pierced raging teen. While Harry tries to help Molly and her family resolve their problems, a particularly difficult chore for Harry since he has so little experience with happy family life himself he also discovers some evidence of some serious misuse of magic taking place on his turf. And as if this is not enough Harry has his own issues with his vampire half brother Thomas who is attempting to adapt into the mortal world, Harry's love life, rather lack thereof and then the small matter of the fallen angel who is attempting to claim Harry's soul. Some days it just doesn't pay for a Wizard to get out of bed.
This is series is an excellent combination of adventure and humor as wise cracking Harry struggles to keep the mean streets of Chicago safe from other worldly trouble. The overall story arc of this series is quite pronounced so begin at the beginning, STORM FRONT, and proceed in order. Each story does very much build on previous ones to the extent that reading them out of order would leave the reader confused. Fans of the short lived TV series are also advised that there are significant deviations between the TV and book storylines.
Summary of Proven Guilty (The Dresden Files, Book 8)The White Council of Wizards has drafted Harry Dresden as a Warden and assigned him to look into rumors of black magic in Chicago. Malevolent entities that feed on fear are loose in the Windy City, but it's all in a day's work for a wizard, his faithful dog, and a talking skull named Bob...
