I settled in and told Michael, Now, if only we had some Wagner to send us on our way.I saw Gard's reflection in the chopper's front windows look up at my words. Then she flicked a couple of switches,...
I respected the man. It didn’t mean that I wouldn’t pants him on national television if I got the opportunity,
I parked in front of the Field Museum under a NO PARKING sign. There were a couple of actual spots I could have used, but the drive was even closer. Besides, I found it aesthetically satisfying to def...
I know you've been aching to have your hands on my staff, I said to Ascher, as Nicodemus examined the altar for himself. I held out my hand. But I'd rather be the one fondling my tool. Wizards are wei...
I had bitten into my tongue, and I either had to spit or swallow. I swallowed. No comments, please.
I eyed the spirit. You know the name ‘Alfred’ is a joke, right? It stared at me. A wind that didn’t exist stirred the hem of its cloak. I raised my hands in surrender and said, All right. I guess you...
I even heard that they can bring people back from the dead.Jesus, Butter swore.I kinda doubt they had anything to do with that one.No, no, I meant --I know what you meant. t was a joke, Butters.
I drew my pentacle into my fist, raised it like every vampire slayer you ever saw does it, and said, Jesus Christ, lady. I just came here to talk.
I don’t trust electronics. Anything manufactured after the forties is suspect—and doesn’t seem to have much liking for me. You name it: cars, radios, telephones, TVs, VCRs—none of them seem to behave...

I don't want to make her [Maggie] a target again, I said.Michael sighed patiently. Harry, he said, as if speaking to a rather slow child,I'm not sure if you noticed this. But things did not turn out w...
I didn’t have any money or ID. I didn’t have a credit card. Hell, I didn’t have a business card.What would it say? 'Harry Dresden, Winter Knight, Targets Slain, No Barbecues, Waterslides, or Fireworks...
I clenched my jaw as hard as I could. It wasn't much of a stretch to keep pretending to be angry, but I tried to go all Method actor on them. Eat your heart out, Sir Ian.
I checked the icebox. The faeries usually brought some sort of food to stock the icebox and the pantry when they cleaned, but they could have mighty odd ideas about what constituted a healthy diet. On...
I blinked slowly at that notion. A honeymoon free of your mother-in-law. Worth more than gold or jewels, Hades said.
Hey. I don't care what kind of faerie or mortal or hideous creature you are. If you've got danglies and can lose them, that's the kind of sight that make you reconsider the possible genitalia-related...
Hell's bells, I snarled, taking an involuntary step back. Right here? You could have given me a couple of minutes to get clear, dammit.And what fun would that be? Maeve asked, pushing out her lower l...
