Gotta hand it to wizard Harry Dresden:  His supernatural plate is always overflowing.  His magical powers interfere with the cameras and monitors while he's doing a live on-air interview; Count Ortega of the Red Court of Vampires challenges him to a duel to end the war between the vampires and wizards; the Vatican hires him to find the stolen Shroud of Turin, but he must compete with crime boss Johnny Marcone, who covets it, too; a pack of very nasty demons also want the Shroud--and Harry's soul; and Harry's half-vampire girlfriend, Susan, steps into his life after a one year hiatus.  Put all of these ingredients together, along with Harry's never-ending one-liners and quips, and you've got the feisty novel DEATH MASKS, the fifth installment in author Jim Butcher's fun-filled Dresden Files series.

Vampires.  Denarians.  The Fallen.  These are the villains of DEATH MASKS, and the underworld demons present the most dangerous foes Harry has come across to date.  Fortunately, Lt. Karrin Murphy of Chicago's Special Investigations Unit, the three Knights of the Cross, Susan, and Johnny Marcone himself come to Harry's aid.  The final battle for the Shroud takes place atop a moving freight train churning from Chicago to St. Louis, and it's a showdown that promises to keep the reader busily turning pages.  And this installment introduces us to a new character, Butters, a polka-loving medical examiner, and re-acquaints us with Michael, one of the Knights of the Cross, who we last left behind in&nbsp;<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/Grave-Peril/dp/0451458443/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">Grave Peril</a>.  As with all of its predecessors, the action begins right from the start, and never lets up; Butcher has a knack for telling a grand tale while never taking his foot off the gas.  DEATH MASKS is a fun, fast read, promising to leave the reader with a burning desire to move on to the next installment in this fast-paced series.

As always well written,exciting, entertaining, great characters. I tend to read Dresden files in about 2 days. In fact sometimes I have to put the book down to rest my eyes and my brain but then I go back and read it again slower and savor it!!!

Another excellent addition to the Dresden Files series.  If you've read the series up to this point, I can't see why you wouldn't like this edition.  In fact, if you're reading my review and not clicking "buy now" in some form and starting to read the actual book, you've waited too long.  Go forth and read, you won't be dissapointed.

Like his other Dresden books, Butcher keeps you running at full pace and hardly slows down for a second. I cant wait to tear into the next book.

I haven't been able to stop reading the Dresden Files since the first pages of the first books.

Jim Butcher has an amazing talent for letting his characters grow yet remain fundamentally who they are.

Damn good writing!

Vesik has quickly become one of my favorite series. It has made forget I was waiting for the next Dresden Files. The action starts on page one and keeps going until the last page. The characters and humor are great.  The magical war has reached the front door. I can't wait for the next in the series to continue the journey.

I really enjoy Jim Butcher's Dresden File books. Each book develops the characters a little more and you learn a little more of their histories. I like that in a series.  "Dead Beat" was as good or better as its predecessors.
I find the Dresden File's combination of Fantasy and real modern life unique and interesting.  Most Fantasy takes place in a Fantasy world and in time before electricty, cars etc.

Love the whole Dresden world and this a great addition to the series. It has all of the fun and action you'd expect from a summer movie.

If you are a Harry Dresden fan, the story just gets better and better. My only complaint is that Jim Butcher is not writing fast enough that he has a new Dresden Files book ready for me to read when I  finish with the current one.
