The Wee Writing Lassie’s 300 Books in a Year – Book 171

Proven Guilty by Jim Butcher

Goodreads Blurb: There’s no love lost between Harry Dresden, the only wizard in the Chicago phone book, and the White Council of Wizards, who find him brash and undisciplined. But war with the vampires has thinned their ranks, so the Council has drafted Harry as a Warden and assigned him to look into rumours of black magic in the Windy City.

As Harry adjusts to his new role, another problem arrives in the form of the tattooed and pierced daughter of an old friend, all grown-up and already in trouble. Her boyfriend is the only suspect in what looks like a supernatural assault straight out of a horror film. Malevolent entities that feed on fear are loose in Chicago, but it’s all in a day’s work for a wizard, his faithful dog, and a talking skull named Bob….

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Goodreads Review: This was a lot more action heavy than I thought it would be – not that that’s a bad thing, it’s just I would have liked a little more time for someone to actually express remorse for what she’s done. Here it feels more like implied remorse – and I need it more spelled out for me if I’m going to continue to like this character going forward.
