Publisher's summary

Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden has had a rough couple of weeks. As the only openly practicing professional wizard in the Chicago area, he has squared off against a multitude of supernatural bad guys. Harry has won the day against demons, poltergeists, sorcerers, trolls, vampires, werewolves, and even an evil faerie godmother. You might think nothing could spook him. You would be wrong.

Something is stirring up angry apparitions all over town. Something that can break all the laws of supernatural physics. Something that doesnt like Harry. His closest friends are being targeted. The net is closing in. Harry must find a solution soon or find this is one Nightmare from which he will never waken.

Featured Article: The top 100 series of all time


The feeling of discovering that your favorite new listen is actually the start of a series is euphoric. That you can immediately hit play and re-enter a beloved new world, or love story, or era from history is a gift to the devoted listener. But how to pick just 100 of these unique and immersive listening journeys? We defined a series as having a minimum of three books, and—after some debate—we decided the titles had to be anchored in fiction. From YA to horror to historical fiction, from fresh voices to seminal tales, hours of discovery await.

Series really takes off here

This is where I fell in love with this series and where the characters started to feel more real. This is also where I started to get really excited and want to read one right after the other. Re-read it for the 3rd time and still like it just as much might be in my top 3 Dresden files books.

Loved it!

This was probably my favorite of the first three books. The introduction of Michael and Thomas are great, and I think that's one of the things I like most about the series. Butcher continues to introduce new characters to flesh out the world that he's building, and it takes great leaps in this story.

Amazing story. It’s clear that this is where Butcher and Dresden hit their stride!

Amazing story. It’s clear that this is where Butcher and Dresden hit their stride. James Marsters is the only voice of Dresden in my head...

audio version, listened/read too

Not kindle unlimited, roommate has these various ways, working thru them, various formats but many on kindle, some also on audio for first few so will do review on those separately as well {taking a bit because having to do review on amazon, goodreads, audible at least while that lasts}

In all his years of supernatural sleuthing, Harry Dresden has never faced anything like this: the spirit world's gone postal. These ghosts are tormented, violent, and deadly. Someone-or something-is purposely stirring them up to wreak unearthly havoc. But why? If Harry doesn't figure it out soon, he could wind up a ghost himself.

best in the genre

Great mix of the underworld, wizardry, mystery, and storytelling, the background being the present.

a tale of chills and fangs.

a tale for the ages and really one of the best in the Dresden line of books. there is something strange in the neighborhood and who do they call? harry Dresden and his friend Michael knight of the cross. holy sword and mesmerizing magic join forces in this story to fight off the evils of the spirit world but these rampant ghosts or only the tip of what is going on in the deep dark depths in the city of Chicago.

Okay so far

I feel like the author struggled a bit of how to start this book. I think he could have started with what he put as a flashback. Overall I love the series so far. I like Michael. 😌 Can't wait for book 4.

Best new characters EVER!

Michael is introduced in chapter one, and is one of the best parts of this book. A friend told me that he is in the next few books at least, and I am SOOO excited about it. Guy really gives a nice juxtaposition to Harry's ethically questionable methods with his holy roller ideology. Really good, and would love to see a spin off book from Michael's perspective.
