Wizard Harry Dresden must investigate his own flesh and blood when a series of killings strike Chicago’s magic practitioners in this novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling series. Someone is targeting the members of the city’s supernatural underclass—those who don’t possess enough power to become full-fledged wizards. Some have vanished. Others appear to be victims of suicide. But now the culprit has left a calling card at one of the crime scenes—a message for Harry Dresden. Harry sets out to find the apparent serial killer, but his investigation turns up evidence pointing to the one suspect he cannot possibly believe guilty: his half-brother, Thomas. To clear his brother’s name, Harry rushes into a supernatural power struggle that renders him outnumbered, outclassed, and dangerously susceptible to temptation. And Harry knows that if he screws this one up, people will die—and one of them will be his brother...

"The ending on White Night was amazing (and I won't spoil it)! I definately had a tear in my eye. There are some parts in the book when the story involves dialogue, and for some reason those parts just seem to drag on and on; but the action sequences are spectacular (Dresden doesn't let me down!). "

“The eighth book of the Dresden Files is one hell of a good read, propelled by Harry Dresden’s sardonic narration and a difficult mystery with a satisfying, if somewhat melancholy, conclusion. During the action-packed, fast-paced narrative, Harry moves from one crisis to another with barely a chance to catch his breath. The political machinations are fascinating, as are the moral choices that Harry and his allies are forced to make.”
— RT Book Reviews“Longtime fans of Butcher’s series, as well as new devotees of the Sci-Fi Channel's Dresden Files show, should thoroughly enjoy Butcher’s latest romp through Chicago’s paranormal underworld.
— Barnes & Noble editorial review“[A] superlative...novel.”
— Publishers Weekly (starred review)“As usual in the Dresden Files...Butcher puts the characters in a lot of danger, creates appalling moral choices for them, and spins an excellent noirish detective yarn in a well-crafted, supernaturally charged setting. The supporting cast is again fantastic, and Harry’s wit continues to fly in the face of a peril-fraught plot.”
— Booklist (starred review)“The latest in Butcher’s supernatural noir series...delivers a tricky plot complete with against-the-clock pacing, firefights, explosions, and plenty of magic...A real winner.”
— Library Journal" Another great book in the Dresden files series "
— Daddyfrog, 2/5/2020" I always enjoy the Dresden novels but if you don't read them in order, you miss a lot of the store line. I have read them hit and miss but am now listening to them in order and really am enjoying them. "
— ace, 4/19/2017" I reread it a couple of days ago and realized I didn't actually like this one very much. Maybe it's because I am not a big fan of the White Court/Red Court vampire war storyline. "
— Ellie/Anton, 2/15/2014" I liked this book, Harry just shines in it. All the main characters have their moments in this book. "
— Michael, 2/3/2014" Wizard partners with Chicago PD to solve supernatural crimes. "
— Susan, 1/30/2014" Previous comments still stand; this series just keeps getting better. Really enjoyed this installment right up till the end. It's interesting to see characters other than Harry really come alive with depth and emotion. Loving it, onto the next. "
— Todd, 1/27/2014" Good solid Dresden files book. Not the best and not the worst. "
— Philip, 1/20/2014" This is a GREAT series. I loved it. Even with a male protagonist it is lots of fun. Irreverent, but tautly plotted. He doesn't skimp on the character development and any dropped threads are picked up in subsequent books. Read them all. "
