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'

5 stars

Chalk one up for the irony: I was about to say these books are becoming quite formulaic - when the formula goes out the window. Not overtly so, the basic outline is still there. Things are just heating up for harry these days, and I must say the climactic battle at the vampire house was quite, quite incredible, and that is my impetus for the five star rating, I think.

A series with far to go and doubtless more surprises to come; this book just cemented those that have gone before for me and made things more real, dangerous and vivid.
