Grave Peril (Book Three of the Dresden Files)
By Jim Butcher
Harry Dresden has a knack for facing up against baddies who are way out of his league. He's a powerful wizard, sure, but he's only one guy and there are significant limitations to the magic he can do when under attack. In Grave Peril, Harry is up against very, very powerful undead forces - ghosts, vampires, you name it. He has to survive repeated attacks while figuring out what is going on, and those two goals keep him very busy.
Butcher uses some cliched techniques for keeping us interested - dropping statements at the ends of chapters so we'll keep reading, that sort of thing. But they're cliched techniques because they work. I whipped through this (like the other books in the series) and had a lot of fun. Dresden is a great character, and I am looking forward to the rest of the series.
Book 7 in 2007.
