Harry's under siege, the vamps, faeries, and the undead are threatening Chicago and only Harry can stop them. But in doing so he loses whats most precious to him. ( )

Vampire, ghosts, demons - Harry's got problems. Grave Peril was an action packed mystery that kept me on my toes and slightly confused throughout. There was so much going on in this book, all good, all exciting, all interesting, but almost like entertainment overload. I can't wait to see what's in store for Harry Dresden next, but if Jim Butcher would slow the pace down a fraction, I wouldn't complain. ( )

This is book three in the Dresden Files about Harry Dresden, a working wizard in downtown Chicago. I’ve read and enjoyed the first two books in the series but felt this one was missing something. Although readable, i didnt find it as compulsive as the first two. The storyline though well written, did at times suffer from too many endless confrontations, Dresden lurching from one tight spot to the next. By the time I got to the big finale, I just wanted the book to finish. I was as tired as Dresden. Good without being brilliant. ( )

It was pretty good, but I got tired of Harry being so low, yet magically mustering up the strength & magic to get the job done. It got repetitive & a little too predictable. Still, not a bad read, but I don't think I'm going to start the fourth book of the series immediately. I need a break. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0451458443, Mass Market Paperback)

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 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 . . .
