If Alex Verus is the Dresden Files from a better universe, this is the Dresden Files from a crummier universe. It has way too much basic m'lady energy, and when the author noted at the end of book 2 that he wrote that story in 5 months, I was like "yep, checks out". So, I've read worse things than this, but I also can't think of any situation in which I'd recommend this series to anyone. I'm giving this 2 stars rather than 1 star since at least a few of its many attempted jokes did land and gave me a sensible chuckle.

Edit: wait, wait, I listened to some more (don't blame me! I already had the files queued up on my mp3 player). Based on that experience I'm removing the previous charity star. The author is simply a bad writer and should find a different profession.
