Publisher's Weekly Review

The fast-paced and compelling 12th book in Butcher's bestselling series (after 2009's Turn Coat) is aptly titled. Beginning with the revelation that wizard detective Harry Dresden has a daughter, Butcher throws one high-stakes curveball after another at his hero. Harry's ex-girlfriend, Susan Rodriguez, discloses young Maggie's existence after vampire Red Court duchess Arianna Ortega kidnaps the child. Ortega holds Harry responsible for the death of her husband and is planning to offer Maggie as a human sacrifice. With a fragile peace in place between the Red Court and the White Council of wizards, Harry is unable to count on them for support in his rescue mission, and he must compromise almost everything he believes in to save his daughter. Butcher is deft at relieving some of the tension and grimness with bursts of gallows humor that keep readers coming back for more. (Apr.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved

Booklist Review

*Starred Review* The twelfth Dresden Files novel (following Turncoat, 2009) finds the licensed PI and professional wizard Harry Dresden confronted with some shocking news: he has an eight-year-old daughter, and she's been kidnapped by Red Court vampires. Harry is willing to risk everything to rescue her, even if it means turning his own life upside down. At more than 500 pages, this is one the longest books in the series, but it doesn't move slowly; in fact, the entire novel takes place over only a few days as Harry races to rescue his daughter before she is sacrificed in a powerful black-magic rite. The taut and sometimes twisty plot is full of surprises and changes for Harry and his friends and family. Changes is a compelling installment in what continues to be an outstanding series. All the regulars (including cop Murphy; Harry's half brother, vampire Thomas; Sanya the Knight; and Harry's apprentice, Molly) are featured, as they, too, risk everything to save Harry's daughter. After the cliff-hanger ending, readers will be clamoring for the next book. A can't-miss entry in one of the best urban-fantasy series currently being published.--Moyer, Jessica Copyright 2010 Booklist

Library Journal Review

This excellent 12th entry in Butcher's (www.jim-butcher.com) No. 1 New York Times best-selling "Dresden Files" series-following Turn Coat (2009), also available from Recorded Books/Penguin Audio-shows the author's continuing ability to keep readers and listeners up way past midnight. Here, Dresden goes up against the Red Court of Vampires to save a child whom he has never met: his own. Actor/series narrator James Marsters (www.jamesmarsterslive.com) delivers his usual pitch-perfect performance, personifying Dresden and mastering all sorts of creatures with the enthusiasm his listeners have come to expect. Catch up on the latest from Chicago's only consulting wizard; highly recommended.-Theresa Connors, Arkansas Tech Univ. Lib., Russellville (c) Copyright 2010.
