Long ago, Susan Rodriguez was Harry Dresden's lover-until she was attacked by his enemies, leaving her torn between her own humanity and the bloodlust of the vampiric Red Court. Susan then disappeared to South America, where she could fight both her savage gift and those who cursed her with it.
Now Arianna Ortega, Duchess of the Red Court, has discovered a secret Susan has long kept, and she plans to use it-against Harry. To prevail this time, he may have no choice but to embrace the raging fury of his own untapped dark power. Because Harry's not fighting to save the world...
He's fighting to save his child.

The fast-paced and compelling 12th book in Butcher's bestselling series (after 2009's Turn Coat
) is aptly titled. Beginning with the revelation that wizard detective Harry Dresden has a daughter, Butcher throws one high-stakes curveball after another at his hero. Harry's ex-girlfriend, Susan Rodriguez, discloses young Maggie's existence after vampire Red Court duchess Arianna Ortega kidnaps the child. Ortega holds Harry responsible for the death of her husband and is planning to offer Maggie as a human sacrifice. With a fragile peace in place between the Red Court and the White Council of wizards, Harry is unable to count on them for support in his rescue mission, and he must compromise almost everything he believes in to save his daughter. Butcher is deft at relieving some of the tension and grimness with bursts of gallows humor that keep readers coming back for more. -

Wizard Harry Dresden lives in a world in which monsters dwell, vampires roam the night, and a fairy godmother is real. In CHANGES, Harry learns two things: He has a daughter, and she's been kidnapped by the evil vampires of the Red Court for use in a scheme aimed at world domination. Harry and friends must rescue the girl and save the world in the process. Narrator James Marsters, known for his work on TV's "Smallville" and "Buffy, the Vampire Slayer," uses just the right amount of snarkiness and wit to make his characters sound real. His female characters are effective, and his pace adds to the excitement. M.S. (c) AudioFile 2011, Portland, Maine
