Dresden is a wizard that resides in Chicago. He is the only wizard in the yellow pages. He helps the Chicago Police solve mystery that goes bump in the night. But what happens when FBI gets involved? To add to the confusion, it seems there is more than wizard and magic in Chicago ... there are also werewolves!

Review of 'Fool Moon' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

I actually enjoyed this book more than the first in the series, though given that the writing style and predominant characters were the same, perhaps my enjoyometer considered this an extension of the book, rather than a whole new one. the events take place some time after those portrayed events, but it still felt like an add-on.

Still, growing familiarity with Dresden and his methods made this one more fun to digest, somehow - though the horror is quite graphic at times. I've enjoyed some werewolf fiction and despised others, but this didn't drone on to the extent that it bored me and was done quite well. the scene in the police station is my favourite, I think, where we get Dresden battling a wolf on the Special Investigations level.
