"Death Masks (The Dresden Files #5)" by Jim ButcherRating: ♦ ♦
I had high hopes for this book because Summer Knight was really great and I was told that, starting with #4, the series gets really good. That's why Death Masks was such a disappointment for me.
The highlights - Thomas, the Archive/Ivy and Johnny Marcone - were amazing and I loved them to pieces. But then there were the lows and the lows were really low: Harry's stupidity reached another level entirely (the thief woman should've kicked him in the balls, not just hit him over the head, maybe then he would've learned something!) and the always bitchy Charity! God, I hate that character so much, it's all bitch, bitch, bitch, nag, nag, nag, endlessly. Every book that features her gets at least one star down from me. What a hag! I would've preferred to see more of Murphy or Ivy, alas...
