The Warden Morgan has been accused of treason against the Wizards of the White Council - and there's only one, final punishment for that crime. He's on the run, wants his name cleared, and needs someone with a knack for backing the underdog. Someone like Harry Dresden....
Now, Harry must uncover a traitor within the Council, keep a less-than-agreeable Morgan under wraps, and avoid coming under scrutiny himself. And a single mistake may cost someone his head - someone like Harry

urban Monsters SUSPENSE friends

The minute Morgan showed up on Harry’s doorstep I knew we were in for one heck of a ride. Turn Coat by Jim Butcher is the eleventh novel in the Harry Dresden files. I have been continuing my audio binge with narrator James Marsters. In fact, I am 90% into Changes as this review publishes.

When Warden Morgan is suspected of treason against the Wizards of the White Council, he turns to Harry. If you’ve been reading or listening to the series, you know how hard this must have been for Morgan. 

Someone has murdered a member of the White Council and Morgan is on the run suspected of committing the crime. Harry would love to turn him in, but this had to be an inside job and with his luck they’ll accuse him of something next. Spiders in the woods, traitors and a skin-walker soon have Harry and his friends testing their abilities.

I loved the story that unfolded and believe it to be the best of the series to date. I know, I know I say this with each book..but it was. Not only was I emotionally invested but we bear witness to enemies becoming allies and see friendships tested. I’ve never cared for Morgan but by the end I found him to be rather noble.

The White Council is in a pickle and the political climate for paranormals and supernaturals is being tested. The Black Council is gaining more power and they must answer this attack. Senior Council member Listens to Wind impressed me, angered me and told it like it was.

Molly makes a mistake and I seriously worry about her position as a wizard. Murphy was absent, and I missed our brave officer. Thomas plays a key role and Harry’s love for him is evident. I adored Mouse and firmly believe all urban fantasy series need a dog or suitable companion for their hero.

Nail biting moments, battles, betrayals and more kept me listening. If you haven’t yet listened to this series, I cannot recommend it enough. I laugh, pull my hair out and lose sleep. James Marsters is brilliant and once again made listening a pleasure.

Warden Morgan needs help and Harry Dresden may be the only one who can help him. Turn Coats by Jim Butcher. Narrated by James Marsters #urbanfantasy #iloveaudiobooks Click To Tweet

    I really do need to start this series. I can see it will take me some time to go through them all. What are they up to 15 now? That is scary to think about. Do they work as good stand alones?Ahh, I usually like to start from the beginning.

    I think you’ve officially sold me on this series. Once I get through my other massively long series in rotation, I’m going to have to jump on this.

    oh look at you so loyal to this series! I’ll have to give it another try. I was enjoying book one but got distracted with something else (that’s like my story for everything I don’t finish??? SMH!)

    gotta say, I am feeling bad for Harry right now. But he’s a hero, and hero’s gotta do what hero’s gotta do right?

    I’m so behind on this. I’m glad to see that you’ve been enjoying them so much since you got into it. It’s an awesome series.

    I’ve had a friend telling me to give this series a listen for a long time, Kimberly. And dangit if your reviews aren’t solidifying my need to do so. 😉 I’m thrilled this series continues to entertain you. I’ll get to it sometime. 🙂

    Wonderful review. I just finished reading book 10 yesterday. WOW…. I loved 10! So much happens. I agree on Mouse and that a hero or heroine should have a suitable pet companion. Well I can’t wait to read this. Morgan is a prickly character and always look for Harry to mess up.

    I am so happy to see you loving this series so much. Not sure if I will pick them up but this author is someone I would like to try if I ever want something different from what I normally read.
