Grave Peril by Jim Butcher
5.0

This one was a great read for me.
Just like the previous ones it is short and fast-paced.
I really liked the added roster of characters introduced here, which I am sure will come back eventually, and for the first time it felt like the stakes are getting bigger. (although i am ok with it being "monster-of-the-week" every now and then.)
We've had glipses of Harry's past and some "organisations" in this world, but they didn't play a pivotal role up until this point.
Nice banter beetween the characters, nice cliffhangers and turn of events.
There were things I could critisize but ultimately it didn't matter cause in the end i really enjoyed the story and it got me wanting to grab the next (as usual by now!)

If I ever reread this, I should count how many times "Hell's bells" is used, but I won't complain, I chuckle on every "holy whatever batman" and other references to balance the acdc ovedose that gets in my head reading this.
