Grave Peril by Jim Butcher

Grave Peril (Dresden Files, #3) ('Dark' Carpathian)

by Jim Butcher

Wizard for hire Harry Dresden gets mixed-up with the dead in this “haunting, fantastical novel”(Publishers Weekly) in the #1 New York Times bestselling series.

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 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...

This was a good story, just not as good as the first two books. This just didn't have the same, grab you into the story as the other books. But from what I hear this it just the start of great books to follow. Which I can see as the ending of this book sounds like something big is going to go down in the Harry Dresden universe. Which is why I am going to be starting book #4 soon.
