Now Arianna Ortega, Duchess of the Red Court, has discovered a secret Susan has long kept, and she plans to use it-against Harry. To prevail this time, he may have no choice but to embrace the raging fury of his own untapped dark power. Because Harry’s not fighting to save the world… He’s fighting to save his child. Buy From: |

Review:
This is the 12th book the Dresden files following the adventures of the world’s only Wizard investigator, Harry Dresden. At the beginning of the book Harry finds out that he has a child and that she has been abducted by the Red Court who are vampires. The rest of the book covers how he and his friends team up to recover the child without loosing everything. Even though the book is the part of a series you don’t need to know/remember all the back story to enjoy the book, which was good as I have forgotten the story from the earlier books. The information from the old books that was needed to make sense in this one was provided to the reader which is something not all author’s do unfortunately. Recapping the back story is always a good idea especially in stories that have been going on for a while (like this one). I liked the fact that the book didn’t let the hero take an easy way out, he had a morally ambiguous choice and the choice he made had consequences which he had to bear. There were no magic pills/cure all’s in the book. The ending was a bit surprising and I can’t wait for the next book. Final recommendation: A must read book.
