Publisher's Summary

Harry is the best and technically the 'only' at what he does, being the lone professional wizard PI in the Chicago phonebook. So when the Chicago PD has cases that transcend mortal capabilities, they come to him for answers.

For the 'everyday' world is actually full of strange and magical things - and most of them don't play well with humans. Yet despite his precautions, Harry tends to stumble from crisis to drama in his dealings with the supernatural world - call it an occupational hazard.

Here, he unfailingly manages to get on the wrong side of werewolf, fae, and vampires alike. And that's where his own rather special powers come into play....

These bite-sized stories are tremendously entertaining and will leave you itching to explore more of Harry Dresden's world. And as well as eight short stories, this collection includes an all-new Dresden Files novella.

Harry Dresden, Need I say More.

Side Jobs is a series of short stories that fit in between the current books. I'd read the books before I worry about the short stories as some spoilers are contained in these stories. It also tells the stories through other characters. My favourite is the one containing Thomas. But you will have to read to find out why.

Nice filler until the next book

Loved it, could listen to Masters tell Butchers stories forever. thought it wouldn't be as entertaining as a fully fledged boom initially, but these shorter stories were all very good.

The awesomeness continues

These short story’s are great bit of back story to the already awesome world of dresden, ana a nice change is that some of these story’s are written from different character perspectives which was a really cool idea and mix up.

Some of the story’s are weaker than others but all in all a fun listen and worth it squeeze out abit more of the series I have come to love

Absolutely loved it.

It was really good hearing from some of the side characters and hearing between the books stories. Would definitely recommend.
