The 5th book of the Dresden files is exactly what you'd expect. The unexpected. There's always unexpected twists in the plot with a little bit more exposure into Harry's past, non stop magic action mixed with the super sarcastic and calm-under-fire nature of Harry Dresden.
After 5 books, I'm still enjoying Harry's character, who I can describe as the House.M.D of the magic world who always finds himself in 24-like plot. All the books have a plot that last about 48 hrs in which Harry's is hunted by multiple parties and he slips out with some beasty magic action everytime he's pushed into a corner. And Death Masks definitely delivers. The plot is my favorite one so far, which includes a duel with a vampire and the return of a great character from Book 3.
Probably my favorite book of the Dresden files so far, but I wouldn't recommend reading this one without going through the rest of the series. The character build-up through the series makes this book that much more enoyable.
