From Jim Butcher comes the newest novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling Dresden Files...

Harry Dresden, Chicago’s only professional wizard, is about to have a very bad day. Because as Winter Knight to the Queen of Air and Darkness, Harry never knows what the scheming Mab might want him to do. Usually, it’s something awful.

Mab has traded Harry’s skills to pay off a debt. And now he must help a group of villains led by Harry’s most despised enemy, Nicodemus Archleone, to break into a high-security vault so that they can then access a vault in the Nevernever.

Problem is, the vault belongs to Hades, Lord of the freaking Underworld. And Dresden is dead certain that Nicodemus has no intention of allowing any of his crew to survive the experience. Dresden’s always been tricky, but he’s going to have to up his backstabbing game to survive this mess.…

Skin Game. Butcher has an amazing imagination. It's never dull. He writes with a skill that few writers ever achieve. I have read all his books and eagerly await the next.

Tai Hao le!

Holy Grail, Batman!. Let's face it, if you've made it this far in the series, you're going to read this. This is one of the better books in my opinion and Butcher does a lot to keep the action moving and the reader guessing. I thoroughly enjoyed the change of direction from detective novel to heist novel.

Awesome. Another great Dresden book. Keep it up Mr. Butcher.

Awesomeness(cont.)

Skin game. This series has always been my favorite for at least 3 reasons. 1) GREAT WRITING! 2) amazingly interesting characters. And 3) the references! A wonderfully cleaver addition to prime urban fantasy. PARKOUR!

Maddest Mac

WOW!!!. Jim has hit another home run! Excitement, terror, six demon bags, and all that kind of stuff! You will never guess what is around the next corner as the tale runs its course. Superb job! Can't wait for the next one! Hurry up, Jim!

A Good Read. This was an enjoyable read if one is familiar with Wizard Dresden and his earlier exploits. However, as a stand alone novel, a bit in satisfying. The thought discussion are a bit too long and self absorbed, while the supporting characters are only superficially involved. The plot was a bit contrived as well. So I am looking forward to a more involved novel for the next installment.

Alexonthemove

Fantastic. Jim Butcher never ceases to amaze; you think you know where the story is going, then he pulls out something different and it's fantastic! I laughed lots, cried a bit, and cheered on our favorite characters from beginning to end. The overarching story is progressing nicely, can't wait for the next one.

Another great Dresden work. A great addition to the series.

ManMuffinManiac

Amazing!. Jim Butcher is a master of the genre and keeps this series fresh, alive, and exciting with every new installment.

BearInStPete

There is no try.... Full of the kind of groaning references and crazy plot twists that Dresden fans live for. A pleasure to read, with some uplifting moments. I laughed. I cried. A great read! I had trouble putting it down.

JDC2305

Nice finish. Not bad. Unlike GRRM who kills the hero in every book(I hate that and won't read any more of his works), Jim finishes the story with lots of questions answered. Need a little more on Molly though. Thanks Jim!

Gmefrek

The best. Best series ever.

WSteinberg99

Skin game. The Dresden stories are always phenomenal! I just hate that there aren’t more to continue the saga

Ttbifish

Great!. Great story and a quick read. Very enjoyable.

WMrBill

Love this series!. It was already a great series, but the last few books have been a paradigm shift in the main character's "life," adding new life to the series. It was a risk taken by the author, Jim Butcher, that really paid off.

MurryTheDemonicSkull

Wow. I read this book starting at 10am on my couch and finished it near 1am the next day on my bathroom counter. I'm not sure how I got here but there was laughter, tears and an embarrassing amount of non-manly squeals throughout the journey. As the man once said, "Nuff said."

Pete MacD

Great fun. Good book

Digitaljazz

Insanely exciting. He's still got it. Some pretty fantastic twists and turns in this entry. Dresden Files started out as a detective/mystery/who-done-it series but has since morphed into a rather epic fantasy story with world-affecting consequences. This book advances that story remarkably well. Admittedly I'm a fanboy of the series, but this is another 5-star Dresden Files blowout!

Liam_Sable

Amazing. Finished it in a day. Lost much sleep. Have no regrets. Pick it up, and you won't be able to put it down. Each book in this series is progressively better than the last. I don't think there are any authors out there that have been able to consistently do this as well as Jim Butcher for fifteen books straight. And that's before you include the graphic novels and short story compilation books. As a prolific reader and a writer myself, I can only admire this work and say that I eagerly look forward to reading the next one. And the one after that. And each one after that... These books are an inspiration and are irrefutable proof of the immeasurable scope of the human imagination. This to anyone who has never so much as touched any of these books before: pick it up and prepare to be amazed. Jim Butcher never disappoints.

Thainmlh

Yet another!. Yet another amazing chapter in the Dresden Files... This series had become a requirement for inclusion in books I'd have to have if trapped on a desert island. This book just doesn't fail to please...and ties up some looming issues and introduces some new ones! As expected... A pure joy to read...couldn't put it down...sad to see it end as I usually am. ...can't believe I have to wait for the next one!!!

Lu 21

Dresden. Am loving this series, will be sad when done. Love all the magic and story lines💕

Kon Krypton

Butcher at his best. I have yet to be disappointed by any of the Dresden books, and Skin Game delivers the action and unexpected twists that only Harry Dresden can deliver. The Denarians, Knights of the Cross, Mab, and Johnny Marcone all show up to help or hinder our favorite wizard and Knight of the Winter Court. I couldn't put it down.

Dekante

3 dollars more than amazon.. Really Apple... Really?

Annie_g

Excellent!. I love this series and this one does not disappoint! I read it in two days. I loved the storyline and plot twists. I hate waiting a year for the next one, though.

Fistjr90

Great Dresden. One of the best in the series. Great moments for many of your favorite characters.

StlWill

Well done, Mr. Butcher!. I was worried about the book being too short but the pacing is good and the story wraps up nicely. While I missed some of the action and epicness on Harry's part, an incredibly heartwarming moment and a good set up for future Dresden stories definitely made this book worth the purchase.

BriMagus

Always amazing. Go read all the other books as well, the Dresden books are some of the best modern fantasy books there are. Jim Butcher needs to live forever and write them continuously for generations to come. (Just kidding Jim, but you better not croak before you finish Harry Dresden's story or I'll personally raise your shade from the underworld myself to do it.)

MJLFR

Butcher crushes it again. Nailed it

Paranetizen

Knockout. I am a huge fan of the Dresden files, and this book was on point, classic Harry. It's one of the best ones he's written, and I was enthralled (no pun intended) from start to finish - fast paced, brilliant twists, magical thrill ride with a bit of criminal mystery thrown in. The stakes were high and the explosions enormous, but one of the reasons I like this installment of the series in particular was the fact that while it was a classic Dresden feat of saving the world from destruction, it felt lighter than some of the recent books, and that made the ride exceptionally thrilling and fun. A must for any fantasy/thriller enthusiast. Parkour!

OzzmanComethX-X

Jim Butcher Does it Again With Skin Game. Brilliant, hilarious, intense, heartwarming, and amazing just like all the books before Skin Game and all the books that will follow. Harry Dresden is Spider-Man, Indian jones, Rudy, Sherlock Holmes, and Gandalf combined. What other books have Santa Claus (aka Odin), Hades, and a skin walker? If you love fantasy, mythology, and comedies look no further. Thank you Jim Butcher for giving me a break from the weight of the world and for all the life lessons I have learned from your books. I will preorder your next book as soon as it is available. Please keep writing more Dresden Files!!!

Yheeyhee

Great Read. Been with the series from the get go. One of a kind and I love it. Easily tied for first place in my favorites (the night angel trilogy is a close 2nd) I couldn't put it down and am already ready for the next book!!!!

Pambeeeeee

Harry Dresden is the man. I can never get enough Harry Dresden. Each book gets better and better. This book just shows that he has a lot of stories still to tell. I can't wait to see what else Mab has in store for Harry! There is so much going on right now that Jim butcher will have to write 50 more books. At least.

Redsoxroman

Strong work. Strong work Jim....great addition to series. As always, I could not put it down. Can't wait until the next one!

Handoverfist

Wow. Read it in two days. Been a fan for years. Once again I'll have to wait years for the next one. Keep them coming thou. Enjoyed the hell out of it. Hints of the next book looks good.

Davis706

Harry is back!. Butcher does it again! Dresden is better than ever in a story that's hard to stop reading.

Kaylee Jung

Another Great Title. Harry Dresden, Wizard is in trouble again. A lot of trouble! And this book really ups the ante on the danger level he faces. The only downside to having read this latest installment of the Dresden Files is that it’s going to be another year until book #16 comes out! :)

The Hoyte Kid

Ten Stars. I've been along for the ride from the beginning. This particular tale left me both elated and saddened. Elated for obvious reasons but saddened because I must wait another year for the next installment of Harry's trek through the labyrinth of magical skulduggery. Write faster, master Butcher. Your audience awaits impatiently. BJS

Excellent. Excellent book. The internal struggle for Dresden (winter knight (if you read the previous books this shouldn’t be new) and all that jazz) throughout this book was top notch and did not fail to keep me entranced. I could not put this book down.

Sc0tty33

Never enough. I can honestly say I've never read past 4 books of any series by any author, until I read the Dresden Files by Jim Butcher. The best in light hearted, thoroughly entertaining adult contemporary fantasy with bite. Actually, one could market this series under several genres: romance, thriller, gumshoe-detective-mystery, action adventure, and by no means the least, humour. So far, Mr Butcher has maintained the perfect balance between the formula he's created that we fans love in a Dresden story, and introducing new twists to keep one coming back for more. A few of his detractors complain of predictability and a lack of complexity, but they miss the point of his chief intentions: entertainment, laughter and the feel-good empowering moral allegory that one good man can make a difference; cliche, but Butcher crafts it like few others, or with as much fun. Jim has said this series may hit 22 books ... I say keep 'em comin'. May the Foo dogs be with you.

Gunny_Highway

Keeps getting better. Great series that keeps getting better and better.

Jingleheart

Skin game. Fantastic as always, you never disappoint. These books get me lost in a fun and exiting place where I can watch Harry do great things. Thank you

About Author "Jim Butcher"

Jim Butcher (born October 26, 1971) is an American author. He has written the contemporary fantasy The Dresden Files, Codex Alera, and Cinder Spires book series. Personal life Butcher was born in Independence, Missouri, in 1971. He is the youngest of three children, having two older sisters. He has one son, James J. Butcher. Career While he was sick with strep throat as a child, Butcher's sisters introduced him to The Lord of the Rings and The Han Solo Adventures novels to pass the time, thus beginning his fascination with fantasy and science fiction. As a teenager, he completed his first novel and set out to become a writer. After many unsuccessful attempts to enter the traditional fantasy genre (he cites J. R. R. Tolkien, Lloyd Alexander, and C. S. Lewis, among others, as major influences), he wrote the first book in The Dresden Files—about a professional wizard, named Harry Dresden, in modern-day Chicago—as an exercise for a writing course in 1996 at the age of 25. For two year....
