Grave Peril | Jim Butcher
HARRY DRESDEN -- WIZARDLost items found. Paranormal Investigations. Consulting. Advice. Reasonable Rates. No Love Potions, Endless Purses, or Other EntertainmentHarry 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 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 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....

In the 3rd Harry Dresden novel, Harry takes on his most formidable opponent yet. It is going to take a few of his friends to help defeat this particular monster, they call Nightmare. Fast-paced, with Harry‘s sardonic and sarcastic wit throughout, this one was a fast read for being 465 pages. Definitely enjoyed it and will continue the series! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 #serieslove2023 #deweyoct

TheSpineView Well done!🖤🎃📖 5mo

Started this one this morning. I‘m 156 pages (35%) in and hooked. What is Harry Dresden up against in this mail biter?! Something bigger and more powerful than he‘s faced previously. ❤️📚

The spirit world has gone nuts. Harry has to play Ghostbusters with Michael.

The vampires are having a costume party.

Harry's friends are in peril and he has little magic left to cast the next spell.

I think I need to binge the next book now.

I really enjoyed this book more than the previous two. The whole stalking vampires/evil godmother plot line is fascinating and watching Harry outwit them (with great difficulty!) is fun. I also like his righteous (literally) new sidekick, Michael. His morality is a great foil for Harry‘s bad-boy persona. I definitely intend to continue this series!

DarkMina This is such a fun series. One of my favorites! 2y

This book is the 3rd installment in the Dresden Files series. Love the character of Harry Dresden as a wizard for hire. Great plot and lots of action. My only problem is there is too much action. At the halfway point I was starting to crave more. While I enjoyed it, I am not in a rush to read the next installment. Glad I got my copy from the library. 3.5ish ⭐ Note: I did round up on GoodReads since I felt it was better than 3.

Erinsuereads Ok keep reading! This one was my least favorite. I'm on the tenth one right now. It gets soooooo much better. 3y
TheSpineView @ErinSueMreads That's good to know. I thought it might be just me since everyone loves the series. 3y

🎧 Michael … Harry called him “the right arm of God” … has lost his sword.

I‘m loving this series reread. Michael is an excellent companion/helper for Harry. This book made me think I skipped a book.

This book‘s monster is … ghosts.

There‘s more magic & the vampire court politics & Harry‘s godmother & Susan, Tom, Lea.

This book has the most going on so far & characters show growth! Book 4 is on wait list so .. Dark Tower!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/8

James Marsters is still very much the reason I listen to this because to me, he is Harry!

I just don't think I can do the character the same justice that Marsters does as he acts the scenes out. The weariness, the heavy press of a case, the overall ugh from the hits and bruises that blossom on his skin as he gets himself into trouble. Marsters for me is one reason why I'll be going on with the series.

LiteraryinLawrence Great review! 3y

Hey new book friends, I just posted a video doing a review on the Dresden files, Grave Peril. If you have time please watch it, and also if you have a little more time, let me know how I can improve. I‘m finally learning how to edit better and use texts and things like that. Hope y‘all enjoy and here‘s the link:

KathyWheeler I‘m waiting for the latest Dresden Files book to come out. (edited) 4y
RobStark92 @KathyWheeler I‘m not that far in yet :) I‘m really excited though the first three have been very promising! 4y
Texreader I enjoyed your video and think there‘s a lot of potential! I‘d recommend scripting it, so there‘s not so many “really”s in it. What about adding some still screens with headers (I.e., to make “chapters” to set off the different things you‘ll be describing about the book or author or series) and quotes from the book? If you can find some royalty-free images to use, that‘d be cool to emphasize some of the parts of the book you described. 👍🏻 4y
RobStark92 @Texreader I‘ve tried scripting before. I used to do a lot of public speaking and I tried scripting and it always just came across as if I was just reading :S I suppose outlining might do well. And yes, you‘re right I should definitely use some quotes I‘ll write that down for next time. And headers would be good as well. I‘m still getting used to editing and I‘m just using iMovie for now lol but thanks a bunch for the advice I‘ll take it to heart! 4y
Texreader @RobStark92 I use outlines too. I think your coverage of topics was great, so headers would be a nice way to break it up. I used to do a lot in iMovie. I think you are going to really enjoy it!! 4y
KathyWheeler @RobStark92 I‘ve enjoyed them all -/ including the graphic novels. If you like audiobooks, James Marsters does a fantastic job of embodying Harry. 4y
RobStark92 @KathyWheeler I have the audiobook as well and yes James Marstees is an incredible narrator!! I‘m not much into graphic novels, which is weird because all my friends think that someone like me would be into them, but I might get them eventually just to have around 4y
KathyWheeler @RobStark92 I read them because I‘d read all the books but still missed Harry. 😊 4y

I‘ll say I loved it. I‘m really enjoying reading the Dresden files and really getting into it. Harry Dresden is such a strong main protagonist, and the side characters like Michael and the rest. Good inclusion of Christian elements without being hateful. Vampires, ghosts, demons and a whole lot more. A few minor issues. Minor issues with writing style. Below link to my YouTube video.

Sorry Mr.Dresden, I think this one kinda drops a little. And I do hate how female characters are portrayed.

But, but, but I‘m gonna continue on the next book. I still have high hopes for you. 😉

I love The Dresden Files, but Jim Butcher is one of those men who shouldn‘t be allowed to write about women. They are almost all beautiful, all breasts, and all about sex even when the situation is dire. It‘s boring. This one isn‘t one of my favorites either as it seems like two separate stories.

Much better than the last book!! I am really enjoying this series so far. It has a wonderful cast of characters and I am loving the addition of Michael. Bob has still got to be my favorite though.

I have be listening to these on audio and I continue to be impressed with the narration. Marsters does a fantastic job of giving life to these characters.

Mehhhh. I'm starting to think this series isn't for me. Conceptually, i should like it. Paranormal investigations, wizardry, a panoply of supernatural beings...but the writing, especially of the main character, drives me crazy. And gah the descriptions of woman *maximum eye roll* i might not pursue more. #mommyreads #fantasy #ghosts #vamps #ebook

Riveted_Reader_Melissa They actually get better as they go in my opinion, but yes the early books are very much a broad walks into my place, PI Noir 50‘s vibe. 5y

I read the first two books multiple times because I wasn't impressed and I promptly forgot everything about them. Everyone who recommends this series to me says this is the book it starts getting good and to just stick it out. I obviously didn't and had to restart the series again and again. So I decided to just start reading this one and it's miles better than the other two. I'm still not sold on Butcher as a good writer, but I might continue on.

This entry in the Dresden Files got a little confusing to me in places, but not enough to make me lose interest or the thread of the plot. I haven't met one of these books I didn't like yet. The characters, particularly Harry himself, are all fun/interesting and keep me reading.
