Short Review: Summer seems designed for paranormal mystery series. This fourth book comes about six months after the last. Dresden is a mess. He hasn't been making any money because he is searching for a way to cure his (now ex) fiance so she doesn't become a vampire. He is wracked with guilt because she gave herself to save him. And the Red Council (the vampires) are pissed because Dresden stopped their plans in the last book.

So now the Red Council has declared war on the White Council (the wizards). And the White council leadership is inclined to throw Dresden to them to keep piece. And the Winter Queen (a fairy) has forced Dresden to solve the murder of the Summer Knight (a human that serves the Summer Queen Fairy). So either the vampires will get him, or the fairies will kill him if he doesn't solve the crime, or the White Council will sack him. Oh, and an assassin is after him as well.

I have been reading these books at a pace of about one a year and they are quite enjoyable. Not sure why I am reading them so slow.
