Goodreads Synopsis:
Harry Dresden, a Chicago private investigator and wizard, heads to a small, isolated Missouri town terrorized by Nevernever monsters. The singularly unfortunate Talbot family has suffered a curse that has decimated their number for generations, and only our hero can save them... that is, if he can survive hostile lawmen, the dark secrets of townsfolk, an ancient guardian spirit, and two deadly carnivores! Can Dresden cleanse the Talbot bloodline of its curse without a blood sacrifice of his own?
The full page images in the novel are absolutely
beautifully drawn, full of detail and depth. The actual comic and dialogue
pages do leave some to be desired. The characters are distinguishable from one
another but were not anywhere near the amazing full pages and cover art.
The storyline fits really well for the
graphic novel adaptation and if I see more of these on Netgalley I would
happily pick them up to read, but I would rather pick up the actual books for a
more in depth story with character building. I know that this particular family
may only come up on this case and this case alone, but I would like to care
that they do or don’t die… if that makes sense.
