James Marsters is so awesome reading the audio version of this book. Excellent book. Well written, fascinating, and definitely keeps you turning the pages! This book also introduces two of the most fascinating characters of the series! Grave Peril has redeemed The Dresden Files series for me. Vampires are typically one of my least favorite creatures but I still enjoyed this immensely. The addition of new characters into the plot was fantastic and I hope they stick around. The third book, and another interesting fantasy. This one was a little more intense and violent, but still a good read. no reviews | add a review

I must have originally logged this before I started reviewing everything I read. It was probably when I first joined Goodreads and was logging a lot of titles and rating by memory. I gave it 5 stars, I think based on the memory that this is the book that really sold me on the series.
It felt more like a 4-star read this time around—there were a couple things that bothered me now that maybe didn’t before—but the book still held up well, and the ending is a really good launching point for the larger conflicts in the series.
This is the book that introduces two characters I love, Thomas and Michael. Michael was a little more stiff and sin-talky than I remember, but I like all the Knights of the Cross stuff and how Harry perceives the power of his faith. I’m curious if Butcher had the relationship between Thomas and Harry plotted out this early.
I forgot so much about these early books in the series, I’m glad I’m rereading it. (
