Which I finished at 2 am latest night and left me in a state of omfg. So, my very disjointed list of thoughts is behind the cut:
–so, in this book Harry lost: his office, his house, his laboratory, his car, Murphy's job, and Susan (which totally took me for surprise, I thought we were in for another round of final girl roulette).
–I was sad that Butters and (I know I'm going to burn in hell for this) Mister made it through the book alive.
–Also, Susan, please do not be encouraging Harry to have sex with his jailbait apprentice who he doesn't love, m'kay?
–I found the middle section of this book dull. The pacing actually reminded me a lot of Deadbeat, in the sense that the opening and closing were epic and the middle kind of dragged.
–The end left me going omfg over and over again (but can we PLEASE stop having the same author's note after every single book? I want you to explain why Harry is between life and death right now, not shill for a series that is a.) over and b.) annoyed me!)
–Saya had the best. entrance. ever.
–omfg MURPHY. Wielding the Sword of Faith and having Bob the skull as her halo because Karrin Murphey IS A MOTHERFUCKING WARRIOR ANGEL PEOPLE. WARRIOR ANGEL.
–And then she turned down a rebound job for god! But was perfectly willing to jump Harry's bones after she watched him kill Susan! And I was like 'noooo! this should mean something!' and then Harry got shot to cock!block the Harry/Murphy sex because, IDEK, I guess them making out is going to be the finale of all thirteen books or whatever.
–I really wish we had a greater sense of Maggie (Harry's kid) then we did. Because at in this book, she was a plot point and not a personality, and while that's understandable, it's beneath Butcher's caliber.
In summation, I can haz the next book nao plz?

I've got like the first 4-6, I believe and haven't read them through yet. Perhaps I should, yes/no? They do sound awesome!

Yes. Exactly my reaction.

Absolutely! Be sure to start with the first three, though, because this is NOT a series you should jump right into. First, because each books builds on the one before it - there are characters and plotlines which are introduced in earlier books that then continue on in later books, and secondly, because while the very first book is a very fun romp, as the series continues Butcher gets better and better until the later books (I'm thinking specifically of Blood Rites, Small Favor, and Turncoat) right heights of epicness that put them whole levels above the earlier novels.
Go get Storm Front, start there. You'll thank me.

IF I recall correctly, I wanna say that there's all sorts of UST between Harry and Murphy right? or rather, there is eventually? And I think he also kept sorta cockblocking himself then too! (again, it's been ages since I've read these, so forgive me if I'm getting the details wrong)
Do you, by any chance, know where I could get my hands on the rest as ebooks for free?
OH! I've started Catching Fire, and the tiny teaser on TV Tropes of "It gets worse" does NOT make Angela a happy camper. No, indeed! From YOUR perspective though, how bad does the second book get, one being harmless and ten being, well a really shitty place to live?
Have you ever read the Weather Warden series by Rachel Caine? *LOVES*

And I see a lot of UST between Murphy and Harry and it's more that LIFE keeps cock-blocking them.

I haven't the faintest.

The stakes get higher, but it's nothing that wasn't implied by the entirety of The Hunger Games.
I have read the Weather Warden series. I love the first book, but got tired of later books where she flip-flopped between being a jinn and being human, and then there was that whole baby thing.
