4 stars for Grave Peril (The Dresden Files book 3) by Jim Butcher.
Chicago wizard-for-hire Harry Dresden features yet again in this book 3 of The Dresden Files, a spooky, bizarre novel that begins almost as innocently as any other normal day in daily life.
In Grave Peril, Harry confronts his latest and most dangerous challenge in the person of a ghost of a supernatural being who possesses the power to invade people's nightmares and uses other ghosts to wreak havoc on the living.
The story is well paced and engaging with mysterious, peculiar new characters introduced. We also see new development in Harry's almost non-existent love life of which the ending hinted at further romance progression to come in the next instalment.

Harry Dresden’s 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’s 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….
