Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden is Chicago's only openly practicing wizard. He is also dead broke. His vast knowledge and magical skills are unfortunately matched by his talent for making powerful enemies and alienating friends. With little more than his integrity left, he accepts an offer of work from Lt. Karin Murphy of Chicago's Special Investigations Unit. He wants to redeem himself in Murphy's eyes and make enough money to quiet his rumbling stomach.
Soon he finds himself pinned between trigger-happy FBI agents, shape-shifiting motorcycle gang members, a threatened mobster boss, and an heir to an ancient curse along with his primal fiance. Throw in environmental activists and a pair of young werewolves in love and you have something of Fool Moon.

"This was a 3 star book, solid entertainment that didn't rise up to great until the last third. **SPOILERS** The last battle was just great, I feel like the whole book was an excuse to play out the awesome scene where Dresden is a wolf. The energy and power and fun prose in that scene was what made this book great." — Edward (4 out of 5 stars)

" Another great entry into the Dresden Files. I have a feeling I'm going to be burning through these one after another in the coming weeks. I really like the magic "system" in this series. Reminds me a lot of Rothfuss' Kingkiller Chronicles books. Or maybe it's vice versa, since these came first. "
" 2nd book in the Dresden Files series. Great story that includes werewolves, a mobster, and Wizard Harry Dresden. Took me about 40 pages to get into the story. From then on though, I couldn't put it down! Looking forward to the next book in the series! "
" About the same as the previous. Quick and fun, kinda predictable. The next books in the series are supposedly better, so I'll keep going for now. "
" This book was really exciting, just when I thought it was going to get going or the mystery was going to get solved ,the plot just took another twist. I also liked Harry' s witty thoughts .I look forward to the next book. "
" Action, mystery, magic, and Harry Dresden is a great lead character you want to root for, shake, and hug all at the same time. Did not disappoint -- will def continue the series! "
" Can't get enough of Harry. "
" Liked even more than the first one! "
" I was excited to start this book b/c I liked the first one and I liked the show on syfy. I was really disappointed by the excessive use of the f word and tons of other foul language that wasn't present in the first one. The story line was interesting but a little too graphic. I don't like feeling grossed out all the time while I read. I feel like the author got my hopes up in the first book and shot them down completely in this one. Boo... "
" I liked book one better and thought this one was a little slow in places, however it was still entertaining to listen to. "
" Wonderful read on werewolves. Who knew there were multiple types. "
" Just as good as the first one (Storm Front)! My whole family has become Harry Dresden fans, my husband, my 19 year old son and I have read both of these books and will be reading the next one shortly. "
" Now I'm going to have to read the rest of these. I saw the short-lived TV show of this series and enjoyed it so I thought I'd give the books a go. Some things are different of course, but I like both the book and the show now. "
" I really enjoyed the first audiobook and the 2nd was just as good. Now I finally understand what all the hoopla is regarding this series. Poor Harry sure does get the sh*t beat out of though :( "
" Enjoyable book, gets a little muddled towards the end, which is a pity as Stormfront was Amazing, i was hoping for more greatness here. Am going to continue on and read Grave Peril though "
" I like the world Butcher creates but this one started slow. Thankfully it picked up about half way through. "
" Whoa, Butcher... big step back from Storm Front. "
" It dragged on and on to the point I didn't care how it ended. Gave up 2/3 the way through. Didn't want to give it anymore of my time. "
" Harry Dresden just keeps getting better "
" The second book in the series was another entertaining and fast read. This one has werewolves and lots of them. Lowbrow fiction at its best. "
" A fun quick read urban fantasy. Enjoy following the trials of Harry Dresden "
" I'm so excited I found this series. It's fun, entertaining and keeps you turning the pages. I'm also doing the audibles version and the narrator really gets into the characters which makes it great to follow too. "
" the 2nd of the dresden files. Awesome book! I love mystery books and didn't realize that science fiction would be so interesting. The character's use of magic to solve crime is really cool. "
" Unusually good second book, following a great first book. Butcher sets up a mystery with an abundance of suspects. I honestly did not know who dunnit until Butcher had one of the killers confess. "
" I just cant always help getting lost in the folklore of Jim Butchers books. my favorite part had to be when he used a snoopy doll to hit the loup garou XD "
" it was a pretty easy read. I'd recommend. "
" I actually thought it was cute but interesting. I'm glad I liked it enough to read the next one! "
" I loved this book, The Dresden files will always be a favorite of mine! "
" More werewolves than you can shake a stick at... and I love werewolves. "
" worst one out of the series its actually the only one i've read once "
" I didn't quite enjoy this one as much as the first, but it was still good. The over dramatization took on new heights in this one and at times, really made me roll my eyes. It contained some interesting werewolf lore and of course, a million sticky situations for Harry to get into and out of. "
" This book was a good read, but it had a little more trouble than the first book keeping my attention. "
