    Chicago wird von einer Mordserie in Angst und Schrecken versetzt - alle vier Wochen, wenn der Vollmond fahl am Himmel steht, sterben in der Stadt unzählige Menschen.

Harry Dresden, Privatermittler mit besonderen Fähigkeiten und Polizeiinformant wider Willen, wird schneller, als ihm lieb ist, in diesen Fall verwickelt. Immer wieder kreuzen dabei Menschen seinen Weg, die ein dunkles Geheimnis haben: Im Schutz der Dunkelheit verwandeln sie sich - und jagen.

      Harry Dresden’s second adventure not a bit less entertaining or exciting than the first one. It’s basically HD vs werewolves. Every kind of werewolves. Because by the time you finish the book you’ll know that there are several different kinds of them.
    • 5/5
      Funny thing about these Harry Dresden stories. I've only read the two of them and for some reason when I started both of them I've gone into them thinking, "I might not like this very much." However, each time I've been very pleasantly surprised. Harry is a very unusual character. Typically we always seem to see stories about the underdog type. People who are awkward but turn out to be more than they appear. Our hero here isn't quite like this. He is good, he knows it and he's not afraid to share that knowledge. He's got a startlingly sarcastic sense of humor and a hero complex. The main thing about Harry though, is he is a genuinely decent and caring person, a character you want to like. In this story Harry risks life and limb in an increasingly confusing case involving werewolves. To make things difficult he is feeling guilty about a number of things from book one and has to live with the burden of one of his best friends, and best customers, no longer having faith in him. This was a great story with lots of twists and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat until you read the last sentence.
    • 5/5
      First Two- Dresden Files, series.One of my all time favorite series.A lot of character developement while the action seems to just keep coming.
    • 5/5
      Was wary of this one--loved the first one, thought I wouldn't care for something about werewolves--Butcher's made a believer out of me..couldn't put it down!
    • 4/5
      I'm really enjoying this series on audio, especially with the excellent narration by James Marsters.
    • 5/5
      See review of book #1 the series - Storm Front.
    • 4/5
      Harry is stretched past his limits in this confrontation between his power and the assorted variety of werewolves that populate this novel. I was very interested in the kinds of magic Harry was able to do and also a bit overwhelmed with the very graphic nature of the violence.
    • 3/5
      Meh. I'm still waiting for this series to become amazing as so many have told me it is. It's entertaining enough but Harry is just so dopey and the writing is cheesy. I've read a fair amount of cheesy urban fantasy so that's saying something I think.
    • 3/5
      Hmm. Had less fun reading this than I had reading the first one. It seemed the story went off on a tangent at some point and didn't manage to get back on track. I kept wondering where some pretty important characters went, and why the hell we were where we were, and what we were doing there (not to mention how we got there). Also, female characterization seriously pissed me off this time around, and the continually male view on female sexuality was grating on my nerves (yes, there was a lot of overt eroticism to the werewolf theme - and male werewolves freshly changed back to human form were just nekkid, while female ones had long legs, muscular curves and feral grace. Blegh).

      Harry has gone from "can't get a date" to "surrounded by topless women 24/7", and the "girlfriend" existed solely to provide feminine soothings and chauffeur services. Why add/keep her if every new baddie is more rounded and fleshed out than her?(Bodily puns not intended, as she is, of course, made of prettily rounded flesh and absolutely gorgeous. Shallow? Uh, well. Yes. But. Helluva girl.)

      Yeah. I think that's what bothered me. Every time I got drawn into the story and things got interesting one of the women rubbed her boobs in my face, widening her eyes suggestively, with bow-chicka-wow music playing in the background. Couldn't enjoy the story much, which was pretty messy anyway. I'll *still* read the next book, and soon, as I enjoy the concept and am sure there's potential in this series. I hope I won't be disappointed.
    • 3/5
      Yeah, this is okay. For a supposedly incredible wizard, very little in the way of magic happens, and only 2 'cool' spells. Which is disappointing, considering the author clearly considers his character to be the epitome of cool, and goes to great lengths to demonstrate this, very inexpertly masked by admissions to all his failings in every chapter.
      The prose starts off dire, and I mean really bad, but it does improve, and in the second half there are some flashes of good writing.
      If this book were a film,, it would be Underworld Awakenings, except if it were filmed on a hand-held and without a production team. So, a forgettable and flimsy plot, minimal story... I believe there were characters in there, but couldn't pin any of them down... except maybe to a corkboard. Lots of slow-mo shots of a very coolly (there's that word again) dressed man standing up and turning to the camera, just enough for the moonlight to glint from his [insert shite adjective here] eyes.
      And the drawn-out focus on moments within fights... just get on with it!
      Having said that, it was fun - popcorn for the brain. I might even read another, one day, although if the writing hasn't improved dramatically, I'll probably put it down after page 12...

      Book Info: Genre: Urban FantasyReading Level: AdultRecommended for: Fans of urban fantasyMy Thoughts: Hexenwulf. Werewolf. Lycanthrope. Loup garou. In common, modern times, these are all used to describe the same creature, but traditionally—and in the world of the Dresden Files—these are four different creatures. One of the things I like about Butcher is he seems to have done a lot of research into the various paranormal/supernatural creatures, and incorporated that, but also twisted it just a bit to fit into his universe. I like that sort of traditionalism.However, Harry did something very, very wrong early on in this book, when he faced the Streetwolves. What as it, you ask? I’m so happy you asked, ‘cause I might save your life someday. When faced with an angry predator, you should never, ever run away from it. You heard me right. If you run from a predator, you’ll click on its instincts, and it will chase you. This is not what you have to have happen, trust me on this one.So, as my re-reading of the Dresden Files continues, I continue to remember exactly how much and why I have enjoyed this series. Wonderful stuff!Disclosure: I bought these books for myself. All opinions are my own.Synopsis: Business has been slow. Okay, business has been dead. And not even of the undead variety. You would think Chicago would have a little more action for the only professional wizard in the phone book. But lately, Harry Dresden hasn't been able to dredge up any kind of work: magical or mundaneBut just when it looks like he can't afford his next meal, a murder comes along that requires his particular brand of supernatural expertise.A brutally mutilated corpse. Strange-looking paw prints. A full moon. Take three guesses, and the first two don't count...
    • 4/5
      after the fiasco (according to chicago's finest's opinions) in Storm Front and the drug ThreeEye business has been slow for harry. it picks up with a vengeance though, when murphy seeks him out for help with a string of brutal murders. all done around the full moon. that can only mean one thing. werewolves. but what kind of werewolf? (thankfully, not the brooding kind in jorts.) and can murphy put aside her trust issues long enough to trust harry to do what he does best?
    • 4/5
      Harry Dresden, the only wizard private detective listed in the Chicago telephone book, is faced with overwhelming odds when he battles werewolves in book two of the series. His powers become compromised early in the conflict, which places him in extreme peril throughout the book. This book enables the reader to share Dresden’s almost a nonstop struggle to survive. The werewolves, several different species of werewolves (who knew a werewolf is not just a werewolf), provide very formidable and savage adversaries. Through it all Dresden remains a very determined, strong, yet ethical protagonist. He and the other characters that populate this series are interesting, and I found this Jim Butcher tale to be gripping and enjoyable.
    • 4/5
      The sequel to Storm Front, I read this novel just as fast as I read Dresden's first adventure. You aren't going to get anything new here, but Butcher's writing has improved, and if you enjoyed the first novel, it's hard to believe you wouldn't like this one. Personally, I was hoping for some more information about the Nevernever, or the vampires. And I was hoping to see even better magic from Dresden. So I was slightly disappointed. But this book is still well worth the read.
    • 5/5
      Four, count 'em, four different kinds of werewolves at play in this rollicking novel. Harry sure makes the fur fly...
    • 5/5
      I liked Storm Front well enough that it didn't take a lot of convincing to get Fool Moon, too - I do remember, however, that somebody told me that the series gets better with each new installment and so I opened up #2 in the Dresden Files ready to do a comparative analysis.

      And it really is better. The voice is stronger, the difficulties more insurmountable, every last character is human, the setting of Chicago and the description of the magic are equally palpable.

      Butcher maintains a pitch of tension throughout the novel which is positively excruciating. You know how in most books the tension builds and builds and then things come to a head, there's a climax, then a nice neat denoument? Fool Moon hits the crisis point at about page 10 and stays that way until the bitter end. It's incredible.

      Plus, Butcher hasn't at all lost his sense of the absurd. Dresden's outfits are even more ridiculous than in Storm Front (which sounds impossible enough already) and the book is peppered with witty banter throughout.

      Lastly, and maybe this is just me, but there's something kind of touching about a male author who writes these books in the first person about a tough old dude who has feelings and notices a girl's haircut. It's sweet.
    • 2/5
      I don't hate this book but it was pretty messy in places. This was a case of too many werewolves spoil the broth I'm afraid. Too many of 'em, too many types of 'em... just too many furry things running about tearing chunks out of everybody. Bring back the pizza faeries, that's what I say.
    • 5/5
      Just like in the previous book, everything that could go wrong for Harry did go wrong for Harry. A lot of things also went right for him, but I do have to wonder whether Murphy's Law hates him or loves him. It's gotta be one of those. But, it definitely made for a suspense-filled adventure, that's for sure, and I definitely don't regret picking up this book. And, once again, one of things that I enjoy most about Harry's character is just how incredibly human he is. His emotions, and emotional reactions, about things make sense and you feel them along with him. And, just like in the last book, everything got wrapped up well enough to where this adventure came to a close, to an end, and you're satisfied with it but yet there are still questions that will likely lead over into the next book and the next adventure. Great writing, great characters, great world-building and great plot. Jim Butcher spins entertaining, almost-tangible magic with these books and I couldn't be happier.
    • 3/5
      In this book, Harry learns about werewolves, all of them. It appears that there are a few different types, with differing abilities. Since Harry is a wizard of incredible luck, all bad it seems, he meets most of them. They also want to kill him. His contact with the Chicago PD, after what happens in the last book, doesn’t trust him, that happens when you lie to people no matter how good your reason. But when there is a suspicious series of murders, she know Harry is the one to call.It doesn’t go easily or smoothly for Harry. At times I think he is a little dense, sometimes he doesn’t think with his head and he usually figures things out, when its too late and he is about to die some terrible death. Of course you know he isn’t going to die, after all there are 14 books in the series and a new one coming out in July. The fun is seeing how he gets out of trouble this time.
    • 4/5
      Reading this right on the heels of the first book, I have to say this one has a different tone. Much faster paced, feels a bit darker too. Butcher shows here that he's not afraid to kill off characters, so it really opens up the directions the series could take as well.I found it frustrating how much trouble Harry had with being believed or trusted, especially by Murphy, even if it fits with the setup. Like I said with the first book, I hope the series ends up facing this issue and dealing with it in much more depth soon, perhaps having magic becoming more generally well known, though I hope that wouldn't ruin the image of the always broke wizard for hire. Of course, that seems to begin by the end of this book, given the action at the police station, but as with Terminator or The X-Files, sometimes the truth has a way of staying hidden. There is even a brief mention of some video going missing and the ensuing hoax spin in the media perhaps done by a government agency with a vested interest in keeping things outwardly normal, but we'll see what direction Butcher takes this in the next book.Would I recommend it? Yes. It adds depth to the groundwork laid in the first book, and I like the ramped up action, even if some of the magic accomplished by Dresden seems a bit overboard (though he does reach a limit). Reread potential is also there, especially given the many parallel wolf myths interwoven in one story. Gimme the third book.
    • 4/5
      Harry is not having a good time, his business is not brisk, he hasn't talked to Murphy in ages and it just looks like his luck has checked out. When a murder that needs his expertiese falls into his lap he finds that Murphy is annoyed with him and her superiors are annoyed at her, her career is on the line and the FBI are making things uncomfortable.The bodies are mounting and it looks like Dresden is the one person who can help. So he does. Survival is the most imprtant thing on his mind.I felt sorry for Harry Dresden, sometimes he lurches from crisis to crisis and his conscience won't let him take a break while other people are in danger. He's quite protective of people, but not in a bad way.
    • 4/5
      Harry's going through a bad time - Karrin is under pressure from the Internal Affairs and can't use him as a consultant, so he is earning little money. Fortunetly a couple of badly mauled bodies are discovered and Harry gets called in to look at them. Its pretty quickly clear that at least one of the four different types of Werewolves are at work. Bob the air spirit in the skull quickly provides some information and the potion rigmarole from the first book is trotted out again, to save the day. When Harry puts a Werewolf belt on and experiances the lure of black magic again he realises it is more than just physical danger he is risking - his whole soul is once again at risk, with the White Council still poised to pounce on any contravention of the pure laws. Another easy and thrilling read. There are still a few annoying quirks in the style, the silly mid cliffhangers and reprisals and a totally overtop relentless concatenation of events piling up on each other. Enjoyable. Not much to add after re-read: the annoyances are still annoying, the rest is still fun.
    • 4/5
      The second in the Dresden Files series; Harry is facing multiple species of werewolf and the growing sensation that someone is out to kill him (someone other, that is, than the ferocious Loup-Garrou, a group of hexenwolves, a pack of shape-shifters, Murphy – who wants to arrest him, and John Marcone who wants to recruit him). Butcher manages to inject pathos and humour into his chaos; this and a couple of small teasers setting up later trails for Harry to chase, layers his already round personality very nicely… the sense that there’s a continuing life here, more than a page one to page done story, is the most satisfying element to the tale.I get a big kick out of the speed at which Harry’s life goes to hell every time I open one of these books. Butcher’s stories are all pace, torture, and lightening-fast scary scenario changes, with Harry’s slightly distanced but forthright first-person narration never taking you out of the moment. For all the pace, the plotting is as tight as the first book… Butcher is apparently a maestro at the private-detective-with-a-twist genre; I’ve yet to encounter a dropped ball of any description, except (and this is a personal taste thing) the super fast narrating of events that occur after the last action scene, a tidying-up in almost short-hand form that feels as though it’s primary goal is to leave Butcher free to drop Harry into something hot on the first page of the next book, rather than discuss life-since-we-left-him-last.I’m really enjoying this series. *heads back to the bookshelf for the next one*
    • 3/5
      I didn't like this as much as the first one, but it was still OK. My biggest beef with it is Murphy's behavior in the first third of the book. Strong, capable, independent woman? No problem! But she jumps to conclusions all the time (and by "all", I mean books 1 and 2), and either decides Harry's a bad guy or arrests him (or both) because she didn't just stop and ask him to explain. If something happens that she didn't expect, her reaction is, "You bastard! You were hiding things from me! You're under arrest!" and that's tiresome. It never seems to occur to her that Harry didn't know those things, either. That kind of knee-jerk character writing is boring. I hope Murphy's character improves in future books in the series or it'll ruin the fun.
    • 3/5
      I'm really only here because so many people swear this turns into something more amazing than a large pizza after a long day, so of course they got my interest. The first two books are solid urban fantasy mysteries, but I'm expecting something mind blowing to follow. Harry Dresden, you better not disappoint me.
    • 2/5
      These books seem to have been written by someone who has spent the better part of his life playing video games. Long on gory action sequences, short on pretty much everything else. The psychology is pop, the characters stock and the comedy lame. And minus points for using the terms "wizardess" (huh?) and "the Nevernever" (aka Expositionland).
    • 4/5
      The second in Jim Butcher’s Dresden Files, an urban fantasy series featuring Chicago wizard, Harry Dresden. This time Harry is up against a killer who has an MO with many of the traits of a werewolf. Although the mystery in this story is good, what draws me to this series is this magical world intertwined with our world. Jim Butcher does an excellent job of not giving long exhausting details about his world and all of the rules that go along with it. Instead he feeds you minute small pieces that relate to the plot of the current mystery. It definitely has drawn me in enough that I want to continue the series just to add more color to this intriguing world. I love the narration by James Marsden. He has a scratch breathy voice that adds to the gritty urban fantasy world.
    • 5/5
      Even better than the first one! This is probably my favorite Dresden book so far.
    • 4/5
      About four years ago, I was acquainted with a certain 'Wizard for Hire' by the name of Harry Dresden. I recall being entertained but not compelled to continue the association. However, several trusted sources promised me Mr. Dresden is of pukka character, the real deal, not prone to charlatan-esque fripperies and obfuscations. Finally circumventing my innate resistance, the second meeting between Mr. Dresden and I was arranged, and an intriguing dynamic arose. I discovered that I actually like Mr. Dresden; his foibles and peccadillos make him less a figure of mystic adumbration and more of an associate with whom to take tea and discuss the recent spate of brummagem love potions flooding the magical marketplace. His expertise and interests are varied and vast, his moral certitude and chivalrous demeanor endearing, his honor and sense of duty admirable. But perhaps his best features: he carries a large staff and makes a leather duster look good.
    • 3/5
      Wizard detective, Harry Dresden, is back in action, facing off against every type of werewolf that myth and folklore can throw at him. The story takes place just after the events from the first book, and deals with a little of the fallout from book one's climax. The novel is remarkably stand alone, however. Characters definitely resonate a little more if you've read the first one, but it's by no means necessary.

      There's not quite as much of a mystery this time around, but it makes up for it with plenty of tension and fast paced action. The fight with a werewolf in a police station is worth the price of the book alone.

      To sum up: Great characters, good fun, clever imagination. Guy really knows his folklore.

      Pick it up.
