Summary:
Lost Items Found. Paranormal Investigations. Consulting. Advice. Reasonable Rates. No Love Potions, Endless Purses, or Other Entertainment.

Harry Dresden is the best at what he does. Well, technically, he's the only at what he does. So when the Chicago P.D. has a case that transcends mortal creativity or capability, they come to him for answers. For the "everyday" world is actually full of strange and magical things—and most don't play well with humans. That's where Harry comes in. Takes a wizard to catch a—well, whatever. There's just one problem. Business, to put it mildly, stinks.

So when the police bring him in to consult on a grisly double murder committed with black magic, Harry's seeing dollar signs. But where there's black magic, there's a black mage behind it. And now that mage knows Harry's name. And that's when things start to get interesting.

Magic - it can get a guy killed.

3 Characters That Spoke to Me

1. Evie O'Neill, The Diviners (Diviners #1) by Libba Bray: Evie is so sarcastic and flippant sometimes, but she won't let you down when it really matters. Yes, she makes mistakes, but it doesn't take her long to see her faults and make an attempt to fix it. 
2. Mark Watney, The Martian by Andy Weir: How can you not love the last man on Mars who casually jokes about his dire condition. So smart and so funny, he's painfully loveable and I just want him to get home safe!
3. Crescent Moon "Cress" Darnel, Cress (The Lunar Chronicles #3) by Marissa Meyer: This poor girl was raised in a satellite with no one but the internet and a robotic voice to keep her company. She's everyone's inner fangirl.
