Twelve Months by Jim Butcher
When last we met wizard Harry Dresden, he was just involved in a battle to save Chicago. One of the unfortunate consequences of the battle is he lost Murphy, his work companion for many years and lately his romantic partner as well. This book has Dresden working through his grief and dealing with the problems of being a major force in the mystical politics of the town. He has to save his brother. He has to deal with problems of being engaged in a political marriage to a succubus. He has to deal with the people of Chicago not liking the fact there is a wizard in their midst.
This is a better outing than some of the recent editions. I like the stories better when they were smaller and more personal instead of every problem is world ending. Here Dresden deals with his grief. There are still the big problems but a lot of the book is just him and his fried. And I particularly like the introduction of his new Valkyrie bodyguard, Bear. She is a welcome edition.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
