I have rarely been excited about a book either in a series or individual that was coming out. Thankfully, this book was worth the wait. Even in audio format. Love James Marsters reading of the book.

This book is in The Dresden Files series and needs to be read in order. The first book is Storm Front.

When it rains it pours, and no one knows this better than Harry Dresden. It all starts with an unexpected discovery on a morning jog… I do my best not to give spoilers. This is one of those pivotal books in a series, the kind that by the end of this half of the duo-logy, leaves several characters dealing with major changes in their lives, not all bad, and some were a long time coming and a long the way, twists and turns and a revelation or two that leaves one well, speechless to the say the least. I really want to see how this will end in Battleground.

Not disappointed in the least. Really was worth the wait. Butcher does it once again and even better than before.

Lake Silence by Anne Bishop

Sorry, so late in posting.

This book is first a spin off series of The Others. The first book in The Others is Written in Red. I was not drawn into that series but loved the world and most of the characters that inhabit it. You will not be lost if you haven’t read the other series. Silent Lake is the first in The World of The Others series.

    Enter a place where creatures from lore and myth walk down the street, personification of an element takes on a whole new meaning, and just because it looks like a duck and quacks like duck doesn’t mean it’s a duck…

What does a divorcee, an inn, and a dead body have in common? A gruesome discovery leads to a mystery that has many twists and turns, and when the truth finally comes to life, one woman and many others who live in the place she now calls home, will be forever changed.

     I have enjoyed most of Ann Bishop’s works. Though as I have said I did not like Written in Red, I really enjoyed this tale in the world of the others. Interesting characters. A main character you care about and can follow through her world, caring about those in that world, and a story that is well weaved and interesting. I hope number two is just as good.
