Harry Dresden has 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 has 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....

The spirit world has gone postal over Chicago, and ghosts are causing havoc. Tormented, violent, and deadly ghosts that only Harry Dresden can stop. First thing he needs to do before stopping the madness would be to find the one causing it. The first two novels were good, but this third one was even better. Dresden should be likable by now, and so should the other recurring main characters. Michael was a great addition to the team. I'm not sure if he's in it for the long run, but theGhostbusters meets Nightmare on Elm Street (with vampires).This 2001 novel is the third installment in the Harry Dresden files, professional wizard and the only one in the yellow pages. Butcher stated that he felt, and many fans have seconded, that this is where the series really took off. And I can see that, this is fun urban fantasy and built to move along to the next book.Taking place some time after the events in Butchers 2001 novel Fool Moon, where Harry fought some werewolves and even a
Took me 5 days to finish this book. The only reason it took me so much time because I read it in the middle of my term final. Addictively thrilling once you start it, it's hard to put it down. Something is always happening. One incident after another. I wanted to finish it in one day. But damn exam... I am a very impatient person when it comes to good books. Thanks to Rizwan vai who took out his time to convince me that Dresden files is worth another try after I felt very disappointed reading
In the third installment of the Dresden Files ghosts are terrorizing the streets of Chicago and with the Ghost-busters nowhere to be found Harry Dresden is called upon to swing into action.This was the strongest installment in the series so far for me. The first half dragged in places as I missed some of the cool secondary characters from previous books (Murphy and Johnny Marcone being the most notable). However the second half of the book picked up in a big way: the vampire ball sequence was
I had lot of fun and rating could have been higher if not for ending, specially for one cheesy moment and ending of story arc that followed. One thing I hate the most is when things reset to status quo instead of moving forward.
I rarely feel the urge to read books in the urban fantasy subgenre. An awful lot of them seem to be paranormal romances which are anathema to me. I think I have only read a few urban fantasies, American Gods, China Miévilles Kraken, and Clive Barkers classic Weaveworld spring to mind. The Dresden Files series has quite a reputation though, it has a rabid fan base and it is often recommended in SF/F online forums. However, even fans of the series tend to agree that the first couple of books in
Honestly, i feel like these books keep on getting better and better. It was a fast easy read, that was engaging, funny, and typical Harry Dresden. I really like the direction the series is going. I feel like with every new installment, his writing its becoming more mature and prolific. For me everything is starting to feel a bit more complete and i'm finding it easier to start relating to Harry and the world all around him. I was happy to finally have more contact with the nevernever and more of
