Description
Chicago wizard Harry Dresden gets a taste of the dead life in this novel in the #1 New York Times bestselling series.
In his life, Harry’s been shot, stabbed, sliced, beaten, burned, crushed, and tortured. And after someone puts a bullet through his chest and leaves him to die in the waters of Lake Michigan, things really start going downhill.
Trapped between life and death, he learns that his friends are in serious trouble. Only by finding his murderer can he save his friends and move on—a feat which would be a lot easier if he had a body and access to his powers. Worse still are the malevolent shadows that roam Chicago, controlled by a dark entity that wants Harry to suffer even in death.
Now, the late Harry Dresden will have to pull off the ultimate trick without using any magic—or face an eternity as just another lost soul...
Reviews
Better than I hoped
5By GottabaussieI was not sure I wanted to read this book after Changes. Changes broke my heart. I was angry for days. After a couple starts, I finally got into it and found it very good. Where we go from here-we will see. Anthing is possible now.Great start to a new arc
5By Chartwig78Loving the new arc for Harry and look forward to his further growth.Great!
5By ManMuffinManiacExcellent addition to the series, I’ll admit that this started out as one of my less liked books just because of the premise but I ended up really loving it!Really?
1By Plumisland69What was Butcher thinking. Just a really bad book in what has been a decent series.Ghost story's
5By Spector 007Great job as always, I look forward to the next one in this series.Highly recommended
5By Dave51vOne of those rare series where the next publish date goes in my calendar. Really well written dialogue. Maybe Jim can start using his feet to type as well?Ghost Stories
5By daiquiri bI've loved all Mr. Butcher's books including this one. Thank you.Ghost Story
5By BongoBernI couldn't put this one down! Too much was riding on it. Seriously! I mean, how does this most recent book end? What becomes of the wizard I started out not thoroughly liking, but ended up a loyal fan of? I'm not a professional writer and don't know how to review a book without all kinds of spoiler alerts. Suffice it to say, if you are not yet a Harry Dresden fan, start with the first book and know that the most recent episode is immensely satisfying. I can't wait for the next one. I can only pray that Jim Butcher never gets tired of preparing the Dresden Files for our perusal.Ghost story
5By Brewsbrother15Great read. Great character's. Could not put it down.Write faster....
5By Phaedo5555Finished your last Dresden and all the codexes..., now what do I do? Write faster... The Maggie Dresden stories? Hopelessly hooked, Jim. Thanks for the ride. Fellow-citizen of the worlds of words.Best Butcher / Dresden book yet
5By edsftwreOutstanding!! My only complaint is that it ended!The best
5By WonderlumpThis book is freakin' awesome and can't wait for the next book!Great book!!!!!
5By BryanHensleyI enjoyed this book, every word!! I couldn't put it down. I read with anticipation all the way to the end and was frustrated that it ended so quickly! Can't wait for the next one!!!Love the Dresden stories, hate the ending
5By Bubba Gump777'Nuff said.Ghost story
5By JsuceseGreat story! Only downside is it took too long to come to print following "changes." Loved it all keep bringing Harry back alive in print.Wow
5By polly wants a cracker tooJim butcher has done it again.Really Amazing
5By NS_06My God!! What a great book!! I waited over a year for this one and I can't wait for the next. I am getting a much clearer understanding of where Mr.Butcher is taking us in the order of Supernatural beings. From the fae to archangels. How compelling! This was well written carefully thought out. This was simply amazing. As a US Navy SEAL Commanding Officer I don't have much time to read fiction, but in my spare time Harry Dresden gets it.Wonderful
5By ArtemisSageAs always captivating until the end and always wanting more!!! Thank you for such a wonderful tale Jim Butcher! You inspire me to become better author/story teller!One of the best so far
5By Moulson1313Ghost story is one of the most compelling Dresden files book t date. Mr Butcher goes out of his way to deal with mortality, decisions and the after life. A now dead Dresden has to deal with the ramifications of his life, those he heed and betrayed. I finished this book and immediately wanted the next in the series to be written and finished. Amazing and need more.
