" Working for Bigfoot " is a collection of three previously released Harry Dresden short stories, featuring Harry, his Bigfoot client Strength of a River in His Shoulders, as well as River's son, Irwin. The story spans in few years from when Irwin is still around 8-9 years old, to Irwin at 14 years old, and later when Irwin is in college. In each case, River calls Harry to help his son, since there is trouble looming in, from bullying, to black magic, to vampire girlfriend...

Oh, how I missed thee, Harry Dresden *hugs book*. Harry has been a constant feature of Urban Fantasy series that I have read over the years. But the releases between books have began to take longer time. I know that it's Butcher's privilege and timetable, but still I wish I can have at least one Dresden book a year. So if this is scrap that I have to take, then YES, I'll take it.

There are no other regular characters here ... no Bob, no Thomas, no Murphy. No Mouse. It's basically Harry's story with the Bigfoot (Bigfeet? How do you call plural Bigfoot??). As always, there are mayhems, and Harry's sense of snark, which is DE.LIGHT.FUL. I wonder why we don't have River and Irwin in the novels? Because they sure as hell entertaining.

Bottom line, loved it! It lifted up my mood (I'm happy ^^). The illustrations are great too!! I just wish they were longer stories.
