“Harry Dresden, Chicago's only professional wizard, takes on a case as a favor to his friend Thomas-a vampire of dubious integrity-only to become the prime suspect in a series of ghastly murders." GoodReads’ blurb

The blurb does almost nothing for this particular volume of Dresden Files. It’s like saying a cupcake is a lumpy spherical thingy. Well, yeah, but it’s so much more!

Thomas turns out to be a lot of things, but what he is for sure is a White Court vampire. Remember, those who feed on sex? So, what does this favor entail, hmm?

“Trying to work things out with Nash—her maybe boyfriend—is hard enough for Kaylee Cavanaugh. She can't just pretend nothing happened. But "complicated" doesn't even begin to describe their relationship when his ex-girlfriend transfers to their school, determined to take Nash back.

See, Sabine isn't just an ordinary girl. She's a mara, the living personification of a nightmare. She can read people's fears—and craft them into nightmares while her victims sleep. Feeding from human fear is how she survives.

And Sabine isn't above scaring Kaylee and the entire school to death to get whatever—and whoever—she wants.” GoodReads’ blurb

Remember when I did my review of Reaper back here and told you that it was the turning point for the series? Well, I said that because I had already read this one. I had also gone and read If I Die and am currently biting my nails while waiting for book 6, but anyway. Let’s focus on My Soul to Steal.

This book does something very daring, very special, and I honestly can’t cheer any louder: it involves change, and consequences. (Major spoilers for book 3 ahead! Be warned).

TBR: Intervention Challenge

I'm baaaack!
And I feel like a Phoenix, coming back not from the ashes, I guess, but from the dregs of day-to-day exhaustion.

Anyway! It's time to actively take part in my favorite challenge yet again. This silent month of mine, I've been picking TBR books anyway, so it's time to post again and hopefully count on you girls to help me get back my read-a-thon reading habits. Ready?
