Dead Beat by Jim Butcher - Jim Butcher's Dresden Files novels have been compared to Harry Potter with an adult tone and attitude. Now, in his first hardcover adventure, Harry Dresden must save Chicago from black magic and necromancy-all in a day's work for the city's only professional wizard. I have read all of these. This is book seven. Although "Dead Beat" isn't as good as some of the others, I still find the whole series very enjoyable. It throws just enough supernatural and just enough reality into an urban landscape to please me. I don't like hardcore fantasy or sci-fi. I need it blended with a little bit of everyday normalcy. Anyway, I hope Jim Butcher keeps cranking them out because I'll keep reading them if he does.
