In the previous amount, the insurgent FBI representatives were all eliminated as well as the hexanwolf belts were thawed by Harry as well as additionally Murphy. It was a fantastic introduction to that and I’m excited to see more.Burial Place Danger (2001) is the 3rd municipal dream in the Dresden Information collection, following Fool Moon. Yes, we’ve had a rogue wizard and four types of werewolves before, but in this book, we get a glimpse into how the supernatural underworld operates. This is more like my kind of fantasy, and I think it suits the books more too.

The magical side of the world is being developed and I’m loving it I understand why she’s not in Grave Peril much, but it’s still a shame. I’ve mentioned in my previous reviews in this series that I think her character is seriously underutilised. We don’t see much of Murphy, which is a shame I got to a rocky start with Harry Dresden, so I hope his character only continues to develop like this. He has a couple of moments in Grave Peril where I was either very excited for him using magic and being awesome, or he thought something that made me really begin to see him as a hero. It’s not overly exaggerated, but it’s graphic enough to make me feel a little sick – perfect! Harry is really growing on me I don’t think I’ve mentioned before how gory these books can be… I suppose I should have done with Fool Moon, but in this one I noticed it a lot more. I’m enjoying these books – I just want to love them! So, I’m really hoping these next few books make me see the light. The plots are fast-paced, Harry Dresden is our loveable chauvinistic wizard, and there are monsters around every corner. Not at all! They were solid urban fantasy books. This is not to say that these first three books were bad. If I stop or pause for a break with another book/series, I might never come back, and I don’t want to miss out on what people have been promising – the books get better after book 4, Summer Knight (or 6, Blood Rites – depends who you ask!). I’ve been burning through these books in Jim Butcher‘s The Dresden Files quite quickly – 3 this week – but I do feel like I have to right now. Grave Peril felt like a step towards something bigger.

My Rating: 3/5 Grave Peril Book Review – Spoiler Free
