Graveyard Dust by Barbara Hambly

4.0

Great characters, as established the first two books. Genuinely tense mystery made more tense by the involvement of Ben's sister.

I really loved the gradual arc of Ben coming to respect Olympe's beliefs, punctuated with a good hard godsmack. The very last chapter, with Ben laying down an offering at a saint's altar, made me teary-eyed. Good stuff.

Also Hambly is so great at evoking horror in spare prose, in this case with the restraints in the attic. I don't know how anyone in this series can ever go in attics, because only bad shit happens there.

Not my favorite of the series so far, I think it was simply that I wanted more of Rose. Good book.
