Harry Dresden — Wizard
Lost Items Found. Paranormal Investigations. Consulting. Advice. Reasonable Rates. No Love Potions, Endless Purses, or Other Entertainment.
Business has been slow. Okay, business has been dead. And not even of the undead variety. You would think Chicago would have a little more action for the only professional wizard in the phone book. But lately, Harry Dresden hasn't been able to dredge up any kind of work — magical or mundane.
But just when it looks like he can't afford his next meal, a murder comes along that requires his particular brand of supernatural expertise.
A brutally mutilated corpse. Strange-looking paw prints. A full moon. Take three guesses--and the first two don't count...
Also in this series: Strange Brew, Storm Front, Grave Peril, Summer Knight, Death Masks, Blood Rites
Fool Moon is book two in The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher. We are taken on another mystery, full of suspense and adventure.
Harry is one of the good guys. But he struggles and he’s flawed. He isn’t perfect. I like him and I like how hard he tries to protect everyone around him.
As for the women in Harry’s life I’m not a fan of either at this point. I don’t care for reporters. I just don’t like them, but Susan came through and helped Harry out. Though I feel she’s with him just to get a story. Murphy the detective she was mistrustful, impulsive, and violent in this installment. She was not very nice and put Harry in a situation that made things worse, instead of letting him explain.
The werewolf lore was very interesting, especially the twist at the very end. The teaser about Harry’s mother was a tease for Harry and the readers. I’m excited to see what more Harry and us will learn about himself, his parents, and his past.
Fool Moon was another great read in The Dresden Files series. I loved the mystery and the surprises we get. It’s not straightforward and the developments will surprise you.
Rated: 4 Stars

About Jim Butcher
Jim Butcher is the author of the Dresden Files, the Codex Alera, and a new steampunk series, the Cinder Spires. His resume includes a laundry list of skills which were useful a couple of centuries ago, and he plays guitar quite badly. An avid gamer, he plays tabletop games in varying systems, a variety of video games on PC and console, and LARPs whenever he can make time for it. Jim currently resides mostly inside his own head, but his head can generally be found in his home town of Independence, Missouri.
Jim goes by the moniker Longshot in a number of online locales. He came by this name in the early 1990′s when he decided he would become a published author. Usually only 3 in 1000 who make such an attempt actually manage to become published; of those, only 1 in 10 make enough money to call it a living. The sale of a second series was the breakthrough that let him beat the long odds against attaining a career as a novelist.
All the same, he refuses to change his nickname.

I won’t comment on Harry and his women. I just listened to the most recent book in this series. I’m eager for the next book and what Harry has going on in his life. You will see that he has a tough road ahead of him. I hope you continue to enjoy these books.
I’m currently reading book three now. I hope to continue to enjoy the series. Thank’s for keeping the women angel a surprise. ^_^
Reporters/Journalists always rub me the wrong way. I just don’t like them. I’ve had very few in books that have won me over. I can say the one in The Dresden Files is not winning me over. Other then that I’m enjoy the books and glad I started read them.
I read book one and enjoyed it but then never got on to book two. Oy! Yeah with you on reporters/journalists. They are not my favorite thing.
What do you mean cancelled the series? Are you talking TV? The books are great. If it’s on TV then I need to look into to that, but maybe after I have more of the books under my belt. ^_^
It is good. I’m glad I decided to start the series. Ya, it’s got a lot of books, but most series now a days do. If you enjoy mystery and magic, you are going to like this. The male POV is excellent as well. We don’t see many male leads and I like it. ^_^
I’m glad I’m enjoying them as well. I wasn’t sure going in, but so many recommend the series and it’s had excellent reviews that I decide to try. I like the mystery and the male POV aspect. It’s different, but in a great way. ^_^
Love the mystery aspects! So glad you’re enjoying these.
I really need to start this series. It sounds so good.
I’m still mad that they cancelled the series. Hopefully they reboot it coz this series is really awesome!
