Storm Front
Title: Storm Front (Book 1/11 in the Dresden Files series)
Author: Jim Butcher
Number of Pages: 308
Genre: Mystery/Sci-Fi/Fantasy
Book Number/Goal: 30/50 in 2009
Review: This wasn't quite what I expected, but once I made the adjustment, I found it quite entertaining. I think a friend of mine put it best when she said it was Harry Potter meets Buffy the Vampire Slayer. I'm a big fan of the dry wit/sarcasm, and even found the old cliches funny. I really liked the dynamic between Dresden and Murphy. I'm hoping that relationship continues to develop. I have a feeling I'm going to start shipping them, though I'd be happy with just a stable friendship.
I have not seen the TV series, but I hear that it's quite a bit different from the books, so I'm not quite sure I want to watch. I definitely want to keep reading the series though.
