They have power, and that power is very real. They resound in the heart and mind, they live long after the sounds of them have died away, they echo in the heart and the soul. “Some words have a power that has nothing to do with supernatural forces. Otherwise, there’s a good chance that Fool Moon would’ve put me off from continuing with the series.
I know I’ve mentioned this-and I’m repeating myself here-but I’m thankful for the fans of the series who have acknowledged and mentioned to me that the first three books of this series were generally considered the weakest books of the series. Harry Dresden-with Michael-are dealing with a new case in this installment: ghosts and vampires. Grave Peril is the third book in The Dresden Files series by Jim Butcher, and the story takes place a year after what happened at the end of Fool Moon. This book showed the first signs of The Dresden Files getting better in quality. Published: 4 th March 2010 by Orbit (UK) & 1st September 2001 by Roc (US) Series: The Dresden Files (Book #3 of 25) “What would you get if you crossed Spenser with Merlin? Probably you would come up with someone very like Harry Dresden, wizard, tough guy and star of. Longtime series fans as well as newcomers drawn by the SciFi Channel’s TV series based on the novels should find this supernatural mystery a real winner.”- Library Journal “A tricky plot complete with against-the-clock pacing, firefights, explosions, and plenty of magic. “What’s not to like about this series?.It takes the best elements of urban fantasy, mixes it with some good old-fashioned noir mystery, tosses in a dash of romance and a lot of high-octane action, shakes, stirs, and serves.”- SF Site The supporting cast is again fantastic, and Harry’s wit continues to fly in the face of a peril-fraught plot.”- Booklist (starred review)
“Butcher.spins an excellent noirish detective yarn in a well-crafted, supernaturally-charged setting. “One of the most enjoyable marriages of the fantasy and mystery genres on the shelves.”- Cinescape “Superlative.”- Publishers Weekly (starred review) Hamilton and Tanya Huff will love this series.”- Midwest Book Review “Think Buffy the Vampire Slayer starring Philip Marlowe.”- Entertainment Weekly
