I think that the kid might show up later, but not as a recurring character. Interesting that Harry's uncle seems not to be dead. OTOH, he was working with a skinwalker, so maybe this person isn't really Harry's uncle, but someone wearing his skin.
You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Still wearing his skin? It seems like someone more useful would have come along at some point, but that's definitely a possibility.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
OTOH, he was working with a skinwalker, so maybe this person isn't really Harry's uncle, but someone wearing his skin.
I was thinking that. Because the skinwalker did say that Harry killed his uncle. OTOOH, if that really is Harry's uncle somehow resurrected, that would explain why he's mad at Harry. I wonder what happened to Harry's dad. Poor Harry's dad.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Mad at Harry? I thought it was only because of his orders that the skinwalker didn't kill Harry.

Yeah, but that doesn't necessarily mean he isn't mad or that he doesn't want to hurt Harry. The skinwalker's phrasing was something like, "When you ripped your uncle to pieces"; she didn't just say "killed him". There was definite vindictiveness there. And when we saw the uncle there at the end, he looked sinister, and I translated that into "danger for the hero".
But I don't know.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Perhaps, if it really is him, Uncle Justin still has an agenda for Harry, that Harry is more important/useful alive, with the chance of being used/converted for/to the uncle's nefarious purposes, than dead?
I really enjoyed this, although for some reason I had the impression that it was supposed to be funnier/quirkier than it was. Not that I'm complaining, I liked the tone it struck quite well.
The only downer was the ridiculous "I'm a powerful skinwalker, so I'm going to waste a lot of physical energy by tying this guy up so I can punch him in the gut". Mostly the imagery of the skinny blond wailing on him and looking rather silly doing it.
eta forgot about the dead-uncle thing. Wasn't the phrase more like "When you self-defensed your uncle to death"? (There were several remarks on this incident, the skinwalker said something about it that I forget) Which leaves it open to the uncle's body being intact, erm, I guess. But also means that the uncle was trying to kill Harry. So if then, why not now? (if it's still the same guy).
Can you kill someone in self-defense if you are not the specific target (say, Harry killing Uncle Justin who is trying to kill Pa Dresden?)
