He also needs to contact his friends who still believe him to be dead (Ghost Story, 2011) and let them know he is alive. Figuring out 'how' to explain his resurrection will have to come later though.
Harry's first assignment from Mab, the Queen of Air and Darkness? Kill an immortal! He is to assassinate the Winter Lady but Maeve, who doesn't like Mab's new Knight, has her own plans for Harry! Butcher doesn't hold back any punches with this installment - the ending will leave reader's gasping, crying, or both and anxious for the next book!
This is a must read for fans of the series. Cold Days has Butcher's unique brand of humor mixed with pop trivia and continues the story-line from previous titles while carrying it forward. Newcomers who like urban fantasy with humor and mystery may also enjoy the book but should be aware they might end up wanting to read the earlier titles in the series too.
APPEAL TERMS: Humorous, fast-paced, poignant.
