Wizard Harry Dresden is the fantasy genre's Indiana Jones - he starts off running and the pace doesn't slacken from there. This 6th book of the series opens with Harry running from a burning building with a box of puppies in his arms, being chased by winged chimpanzee demons who throw flaming poop at him. Who can resist an opening like that? From there the White Court vampire Thomas persuades him to take a job for his friend, a porn film producer who has a bad luck curse on him, which has already caused two of his female employees to be accidentally killed. Then the Black Court vampire Mavra comes after him, determined to kill him once and for all. It's all Harry can do to keep it all together - and then in an interesting twist, he discovers he has family after all. This series just keeps getting better, and the characters don't remain static either, but keep developing. It's loads of fun.
