49. Jim Butcher - Storm Front (Dresden Files, Book 1)

"The novels of the Dresden Files have become synonymous with action-packed urban fantasy and non-stop fun. Storm Front is Jim Butcher's first novel and introduces his most famous and popular character-Harry Dresden, wizard for hire.

For his first case, Harry is called in to consult on a grisly double murder committed with the blackest of magic. At first, the less-than-solvent Harry's eyes light up with dollar signs. But where there's black magic, there's a black mage. Now, that black mage knows Harry's name. And things are about to get very...interesting." - Product Description

I read this book back in 2003. However, I got behind on the series and wanted to start rereading it. Butcher is one of my all time favorite authors with Harry Dresden as one of my favorite characters of all times. By rereading this book, it reminded me why I fell in love with the "only wizard in the Chicago phonebook." If you are into fantasy and you have not read the Dresden books, you are missing out.

P.S. I still think Paul Blackthorne made a fantastic Harry. Too bad that series got canceled. :(
