A great little story about Harry Dresden's older brother, Thomas, who happens to be a white court vampire. Only problem I have is that it is too short, but then that's how I feel about all Dresden Files books. Essentally the story is Thomas must protect his brother Harry, from his own client. The problem is that Harry can't know why or from what he is being protected. The story provides us with a nice bit of depth to Thomas' life and shows us that all is not peaches and cream between him and his family. A great book for the hard-core Dresden fans but not essential to the on going adventures of Harry Dresden. Buy it if you need a quick Dresden fix and would like to support independent publishers.
Surprisingly, I enjoyed this book. I didn't hold out much hope for it having not enjoyed some of Reaves' other books. I chose it because mainly because it was published by DelRey. I've rarely been disappointed by DelRey books, series' are excluded.
If this book was a cocktail the recipe would be: Start with a glass of matured Harry Dresden, add a dash of American Gods and a slice of angel and demon. Stir in a shot of The Historian's Dracula, then shake.
I enjoyed the Native American female character and seeing the differences in how she used magic and how the main character used magic. It's good to see some diversity in female leading characters.
I would love to read see a sequel a second book by this team.

A very good, fast-paced book. Great for a quick shot of action. Teens should enjoy it for the action and the language. The author, Partridge, quickly tosses you into the story and keeps it moving. Only just enough background information and descriptions to give you a vague sense of the powers behind the events. Really wish I could have heard a bit more about how or why the situation arose, but that would have made for a good bit longer story and may have caused the books intended audience to lose interest. Great October reading.
An excellent anthology of plays for a community theater one-act play night or series. It contains a good mix of comedy and drama. I have directed and performed in several plays from this book and the audience gave great us rave reviews. I strongly suspect that this is due more to the quality of the material rather than the quality of our acting.
