Now in hardcover from the New York Times bestselling author of The Dresden Files.Harry Dresden's faced some pretty terrifying foes during his career. Giant scorpions. Oversexed vampires. Psychotic werewolves. All par for the course for Chicago's only professional wizard.But in all of Harry's years of supernatural sleuthing, he's never faced anything like this: the spirit world's gone postal. All over Chicago, ghosts are causing trouble—and not just of the door-slamming, 'boo'- shouting variety. These ghosts are tormented, violent, and deadly.Someone—or something—is stirring them up to wreak unearthly havoc. But why? And why do so many of the victims have ties to Harry? If Harry doesn't figure it out soon, he could wind up a ghost himself.

Review of 'Grave Peril' on 'Goodreads'

No rating

I'm withholding a rating because I read this under less than ideal circumstances: I borrowed the audio book on CD from my local library, and listened to it over several sessions, with long gaps in between. Combined with a few mistakes such that I listened to chapters out of order.

Beyond that, this one seems darker and grittier than the previous two.

Continuons notre découverte de la série Dresden Files avec ce troisième tome Grave Peril. Comme précisé dans la chronique du tome précédent j’ai continué la série en VO même si on peut trouver les cinq premiers romans en VF (faut juste arriver à attraper l’intégrale numérique quand elle surgit ou les tomes Milady en occasion). Pour le reste, Bragelonne a laissé tomber la traduction donc comme d’hab, sortez les dico anglais.

Harry se remet à peine de son aventure précédente lorsque les fantômes commencent à devenir dingues à Chicago. Oh, pas les histoires habituelles de maison hantées et d’apparitions inoffensives, non, là ils sont déchainés, violents et étrangement puissants. Pourquoi les victimes sont-elles presque toutes liées à Harry ? Qu’est-ce qui les pousse à agir ? Qu’est-ce qu’ils veulent, encore, ces vampires ? Epaulé par son copain Michael le chevalier il va courir dans toute la ville pour élucider ce …

This is the book where Harry really seams to catch his stride. I do like that Butcher felt less of a need to re-explain things (assumes you've read the others), but it did take an odd turn. I do want to know what happens to Harry down the road, so I'll continue the series!

Vampires, ghosts, and righteous men, oh my!

I'm late to the Dresden Files party, but better late than never right? This edition, read by [a:James Marsters|169487|James Marsters|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1252176950p2/169487.jpg], moves along at a good pace.If I had been reading instead of listening, this definitely would have been a page-turner -- do not bother me until I am done -- type book.

In this installment Harry has his hands full on multiple counts, juggling friends, lovers, enemies, and his fairy godmother. It keeps him going from sun-down to sun-up. He gets so tired he misses vital clues, repeatedly. But once he figures it out, he doesn't leave vengeance to the Lord.

Harry survives, but the ending of this book is real tearjerker.

Review of 'Grave Peril' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Definitely a major step up from Fool Moon. It didn't feel formulaic at all this time, and was pretty much action-packed from the first page of the book til the last page. I hope in time the series will introduce women that are not hyper-sensual, but I am not so hung up on that.

I get the feeling this book set big things into motion. Like the Vampire War and Susan being turned into a vampire.

Hooked, line and sinker!
