This review will be for the first... 10...? or so books in the series. It starts of pretty great. I love the throwback to the old gum-shoe schlock in the modern setting, with an urban wizard as the main character. Lots of fun. The first few were pretty enjoyable.

Then... I don't know. I guess I just got fed up with it. Book to book, I enjoyed less and less. Eventually I get to the point where I'm 9 books in and Harry is describing his car for the thousandth time, and his friend, and her mental state, and what she's wearing, and how he can't be around electronics... And it goes on and on and on with things he's said in EVERY. SINGLE. BOOK. As if the author expected that you just skipped over the previous entries, so needed to make sure you knew all the things you may have missed.

And Harry kind of goes from being this old tired detective type to a typical niceguy. I think author was riding the line since the start and just jumped over and set up camp. One of the books is literally called "White Knight."

The audiobooks are amazing though. If you enjoy the books, you'll love the audio versions, and they were a large part of why I kept going.
