Having read to the end of the series thus far there are so many little nudges and hits that are dropped that I love picking up on.
In Summer Knight the series really kicks into high gear. With the white council in town Harry must get out of his funk and dead with his most difficult trial yet....fairies. Queen Mab makes an appearance and starts pulling strings to get Harry to find who killed the Summer Knight.
Scrambling, Harry teams up with Murphy to get info on the murder and finally clues her into the whole magic scene. They have an awesome encounter and shootout at Walmart. We get to enjoy Murphy kicking ghoul and chlorofiend butt and saving the day. She gets hurt in the process taking her out of commission for the big end battle.
Elaine shows up and is Harry’s counterpart in the trial between the fairy courts.
Harry takes Billy and the werewolves to the never never battle above Chicago at the stone table. Queen Mab realizes that the gate keeper is helping Harry and we get a hint of the connection between the two.
Harry gets to stop his “nemesis”, the summer lady, and coincidentally instate a new summer lady and knight who are friendly to him. Toot toot helps turn the tide of the fairy war and Harry earns a secret cleaning service obsessed with Pizza.
