Summary
Harry Dresden, Chicago's only professional wizard, is about to have a very bad day. As Winter Knight to the Queen of Air and Darkness, Harry never knows what the scheming Mab might want him to do. Usually, it's something awful.
This time, it's worse than that. Mab's involved Harry in a smash-and-grab heist run by one of his most despised enemies, to recover the literal Holy Grail from the vaults of the greatest treasure horde in the world - which belongs to the one and only Hades, Lord of the Underworld.
Dresden's always been tricky, but he's going to have to up his backstabbing game to survive this mess - assuming his own allies don't end up killing him before his enemies get the chance....

Excellent
thou it starts out a little slow, once it gets going it barely stops. The heist format, your Ocean's setup, works well with a diverse array of new and old characters. The ending showdown is well done and as nerdy as ever.

A truly masterful series.
What did you like most about Skin Game?
It continues the ongoing story and maintains the high quality story telling.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Hard to say, they are all integral to the overall greatness. But Harry is a class act.
Have you listened to any of James Marsters’s other performances? How does this one compare?
Not listened to anything else read by James, but I am sure that he will deliver just as good a performance in whatever story he reads. Also very good to finally have all the books read by James Marsters and therefore maintaining the continuity throughout.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Hard to say, all the books are a joy from beginning to end, encompassing all the emotions needed in good storytelling.
Any additional comments?
Just read these, you won't be disappointed!!

First Dresden book I've delved into. Great action, nice plot, but best of all great characters. Brought to life beautifully via audible.

Amazing
As with ass dresden file books (and other books written) Jim has done an amazing job, and it's beautifully read by James as well.

Another Great book
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Thank you Jim Butcher for another great Dresden book. The only down side is that its now over. If you liked any of the other Dresden books then you'll love this.

PARKOUR!!!!!
This was a great story, i have now read\ listened to all the Jim Butcher Dresden Files books and this one didn't disappoint.
Great characters, great storylines and a perfect twist! This book is a must for any fans of Harry Potter, Twilight type novels... And fans of parkour!
Only thing I would change re this story is Thomas, he's not in it!!

Best yet
Have listened to all the Dresden files back to back - and this is the best yet. Plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing with suspense, laughter and poignancy along the way.

Its BACK!
One of my favourites of the series, perhaps one of the most exciting books I've read full stop. Lots of belly laughs, lots of moments of crushing sadness and absolute joy, this is really a fantastic addition to the story of Harry Dresden et al.
