Bombshells, by Jim Butcher
More from the Dangerous Women anthology--Bombshells is a fun magic adventure, coming late in a series called The Dresden Files. I say late because, according to the introduction, the author has killed off the protagonist, but is continuing the series with Dresden's ghost and in this story, his apprentice. You can't do that forever. The piece is full of good action and reminds me quite a lot of Jasper Fforde. Read for good fun. 3 stars.
