Product Description

Product Description
Harry Dresden's faced some pretty terrifying foes during his career. Giant scorpions. Oversexed vampires. Psychotic werewolves. It comes with the territory when you're the only professional wizard in the Chicago area phone book. But in all Harry's years of supernatural sleuthing, he's never faced anything like this: the spirit world's gone loco. 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 purposely 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 ...

5.0 out of 5 stars Ghosts Rock Chicago, 8 Aug 2001
By Julie R. Fedynich "wizard@wizardsharry.com" (Independence, MO United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Grave Peril (Dresden files) (Mass Market Paperback)
Harry Dresden and his friend Michael, a true Knight of the Cross race across Chicago to save the lives of scores of newborn babies about to be murdered by a ghost as powerful as any they've ever seen. A momentary glimpse into the true spirit of the haunt shows them that the ghost is being tortured. A spiritual barbed wire is ripping and gouging into ghostly flesh causing pain and madness in the spirit world. The wall between real life and the Never-never is getting thinner while demons and ghosts are getting stronger. Harry has to, once again, put life and soul at risk to save the people he cares about as someone, or something, somewhere, targets everyone he loves.

Friends on the police department are behaving oddly towards our wizard and even as they call him for help, they exclude him from vital information he needs to solve the case. What's a wizard to do, but try to make a deal with a Fairy Godmother who wants to, not only separate him from the woman he loves, but wants to turn him into a great big doggie as well.

Jim Butcher once again captures us with his wry sense of humor and tugs our heart strings with his characters. The action packed adventure keeps your attention and suprises lurk in the corners with the monsters. Grave Peril can stand alone, but if you've not yet read the first two books in the Dresden Files, Don't miss out, get all three. Congratulations Mr. Butcher, you've done it again.

5.0 out of 5 stars A wizard and a true Knight of the Cross battle against evil, 13 Jan 2004
By M. E. Cooper "Fantasybooks" (England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Grave Peril (Dresden files) (Mass Market Paperback)
Jim Butcher (Storm Front, Fool Moon) goes from strength to strength in this his third book in the Harry Dresden saga. The boundaries between the teeming streets of Chicago and the Never Never grow ever thinner and cause problems for our hard pressed Wizard P.I. Together with his friend Michael, a true Knight of the Cross, Harry races to save dozens of lives from a tormented ghost intent upon sucking the life out of babies in the local hospital's nursery.

A glimpse into the ghost's motivations reveals that it is being tortured and used to do the dirty deed, but who could force a ghost this powerful to do anything? That's what Harry must find out and put a stop to, but old alliances are tenuous things, and the police are acting very oddly toward him indeed. He cannot rely upon their help. Harry turns to another source for his information--his fairy Godmother. The same Godmother who not only wants to separate him from the girl he loves, but also wants to enslave him for eternity.

Grave peril is book three in the harry Dresden saga, but as another reviewer pointed out it can stand on its own merits. That's not to say it should. Readers will definitely benefit from reading this series in order: Storm Front, Fool Moon, Grave Peril.

4.0 out of 5 stars Gravely Enjoyable, 3 May 2006
Grave Peril is book three in Jim Butchers series The Dresden Files... the other two being Storm Front & Fool Moon.

Harry Dresden is the only wizard known to mankind and listed in the Chicargo yellow pages.

In his career he has faced dark wizards, large scorpions, over sexed vampires and the police suspecting him of supernatural crimes he didn`t commit.

However in this third installment Harry now faces ghosts, demons and faeries... and that`s the easy part.

Pursued by his Fye Godmother (or faerie Godmother - and I don`t mean of the wish granting kind), facing many restless ghosts and a powerful demon ghost Harry needs help.
And that help comes in the shape and form of his rightious companion and friend Michael.

Can Harry & Michael defeat their enemies and save the day or will they be condemned to hell.

This is yet another amazing sequal and worthy of being called possibly the best of the series that I have read to date.

Whatever you do I recommend you do NOT miss out on this book or this series - read The Dresden Files and be amazed.
