Long ago, Susan Rodriguez was Harry Dresden's lover-until she was attacked by his enemies, leaving her torn between her own humanity and the bloodlust of the vampiric Red Court. Susan then disappeared to South America, where she could fight both her savage gift and those who cursed her with it. Now Arianna Ortega, Duchess of the Red Court, has discovered a secret Susan has long kept, and she plans to use it-against Harry. To prevail this time, he may have no choice but to embrace the raging fury of his own untapped dark power. Because Harry's not fighting to save the world... He's fighting to save his child.Define Books Supposing Changes (The Dresden Files #12)

As is my drug of choice, I listened to the narrations of James Marsters. He has become the voice of these characters and I could not imagine Harry without him. Oh, where to begin. Let me just get this off my chest before I burst...we hear Mouse speak. It was brilliant! Perfection. I laughed so hard I had tears and we were in the middle of some intense shite when it happened.You might remember I am not a big Susan fan. Well, in Changes I decided I hate her. Strong words I know, but she reveals aI honestly didn't think Butcher could write a better Harry Dresden book than Dead Beat. Boy, was I wrong.*****Big. Fat. Spoiler. Alert. Don't read any more until you've read the book.*****If I may speak of this from a personal perspective, I have done the same thing with the Kate Shugak series that Jim Butcher has now done in Changes. I took her job away, albeit off stage, I killed her lover, I burned down her house. But in Changes Butcher does it all in one book, in 438 pages he strips Harry to
It's hard to keep reviewing these without pretty much saying the same thing over and over. The game has been stepped up for these last couple books (like 5 at this point), in plot, writing, stakes, everything. This series go from a fun popcorn series at first to some of my favorite books of all time possibly.I keep thinking, there's no way he can up the stakes after the last book and then he proves me wrong. The stakes in Changes were as high as they get with the Red Court.And if you haven't
Yup. That about sums it up. Holy craptoid this book was intense. I know that I said that I found Turn Coat to be predictable, but Changes was anything but. It started off with a Whopper and then added jalapenos and Sriracha and some pickled habaneros and holy shit is this going to be regrettable later. I never knew where this was going to go next, and each time another explosive ingredient was added, my intestines clenched.And on top of that, this book was surprisingly emotional as well.

3.5 starsAs the title implies, this is a pivotal book in the Dresden Files. Everything is deadlier, bigger, more serious, more urgent. I really appreciate Butcher letting his inner nerd come out more here with plenty of references to Star Wars and Lord of the Rings and other fandoms. So theres some good humor to counteract the darkness.MINOR SPOILERS FOR EARLIER BOOKS AHEADThis is the first Dresden book that isnt two words. There are changes for all the characters. In the opening scene, Susan
"Laugh whenever you can. Keeps you from killing yourself when things are bad. That and vodka." I need vodka for this review! I mean, I wanted some shake-up in this world but What-The-F*ck???? Jim Butcher??? It's like he decided to just burn the whole house down just for the hell of it. there may be casualties, but I'm willing to let others pay that price...I mean, sure, it was fun! When isn't it fun to watch things burn? Who doesn't like to throw things from a tall building just to see them
