Story – 4/5
I enjoyed it quite a lot, much like I did the first novel. There is still nothing groundbreaking here, but I am still holding out for books 3/4 for when it does apparently become so. Each of the existing characters are developed further very nicely, with some interesting new additions to add to the fray. I especially enjoyed seeing another side of Dresden; showing a more emotional/sensitive side at times alongside his usual witty sayings and anecdotes.
There is plenty of action in this one, more so than the first, and as the title suggests, involves a lot of werewolves and their variations. This is not your cliché vampire/werewolf story though; there are a lot of ideas and fantasy additions here so Jim Butcher has made it his own.
Jim Butcher has managed to remove the trivialisation barrier of danger and peril in first person stories, by making the fear about other characters’ safety. This, in my opinion, added more depth to the story than the first.
Performance – 5/5
James Marsters is an absolute star, his addition to the Dresden audio-books is perfection, as he reflects the character superbly, and enhances the film noire feel to the stories. A lot of other reviews say “James Marsters IS Dresden”, and after 2 audio-books, I have to agree. His voice acting is distinctive and he portrays Dresden’s mood and the pace of the story extremely well.
No production issues in this story like at the beginning of the first book, so a well deserved 5/5 for performance. It doesn’t get much better than this.
On a side note, to those who aren’t aware, James Marsters is the guy that played Spike in Buffy the Vampire slayer according to a colleague of mine. Just in case you are a particular fan of his…
Enjoyed it as much as the first

Being a bit of a woos and new to this kind of genre, I've found myself listening to it in chunks. Normally I'd have the audio track playing whilst doing my housework but with this one ... hmmm ... I've switched to listening to it via my iphone so I can do the audio equivalent of hiding behind a cushion and turn it off when it all gets a bit ... ARGH!! NOOOO!!
Mind you, I'm still listening AND enjoying it AND I'm going to buy another one. The characters are developing nicely and the plot is actually truly a mystery. This is unlike most other detective fiction which I can now generally read (ahem) like a book as I've got through so much of it.
