Dark and stormy knights

There were a few good stories– mostly in the beginning and then it started to fade for me... :/ I read it for the Kate Daniels story, which I really enjoyed!! Finally seeing how Kate met Saimon was really cool. I wonder if the acorn thing will come up again... hmmm I will need to keep going with this series ahaha.
I've never read anything by Jim Butcher but after this I really want to! There were other stories that have made me want to check out new authors and other stories that make me stay away from certain authors...
