Small Favor
*****+ Small Favor by Jim Butcher. Contemporary fantasy.
I've said it before, but seriously--the man's writing just keeps getting better and better. The title of this book is Small Favor--because Harry still owes a couple.
What to say, to tease without giving anything away? Lots of action, lots of heart-wrenching drama, lots of humor, lots of surprises. Sorry--mum's the word.
How about this: my most frequent reaction to the book: "holy crap!" Said at least once a chapter. Of which there are 46.
It comes out next April, which gives you 6 months to read the first 9 Dresden Files if you haven't already (in order: Storm Front, Fool Moon, Grave Peril, Summer Knight, Death Masks, Blood Rites, Dead Beat, Proven Guilty, White Night). Teaser chapters should be up probably in February on Jim's website.

Darla, this is just CRUEL!!
I KNOW that Butcher is goood, and the teaser chapters are a God send kind of torture, but now you tease even MONTHS before Butcher teases us himself. Have mercy, lady!
Doris in Munich * too broke, so I'm still waiting for White Nights to come out in pb, not to even think of Small Favors...

LOL, well, we beta readers get tortured for months (just imagine reading one of those cliffhanger chapters and then having to wait a week or more for the next one!), so I'm just passing on the favor. :)
