Ghost Story
Jim Butcher · 2011 · 481 pages
"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. But even trapped in the realm between life and death, Harry can't catch a break. He learns that three of his friends are destined to experience unbearable torment and agony. Only by bringing his murderer to justice can he save his friends and move on to what comes next--a feat that would be a lot easier if he had a body and access to his powers. Instead, Harry must work as a ghost, unable to interact with the physical world, invisible and inaudible to almost everyone. Unfortunately he's not the only specter roaming Chicago. Thereare malevolent shadows who haven't forgotten Harry's predilection for putting evil in its place while he was alive. And now that Harry's on their turf, they are looking for some serious payback. So 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"--

“I’m trying to think of which one of The Dresden Files I would go with, cos it’s kinda like the Harry Potter series. The Dresden books are some of my favorites; they started off slow and got progressively more and more awesome. We’ll go with Ghost Story, and I won’t give too much away from it, but the thing I love about the writing of it, especially Dresden’s character, is anything and everything can happen to him. Even though he’s staring in the face of crazy odds, and he knows he’s gonna get blow up or fucked up, he just keeps going, because he has that natural morality that keeps him grounded. Even though he knows the odds may be against him, he keeps doing what he knows is right, no matter what it does to him or, sadly, to some of his friends. Those books I read just as fast as I used to read the Potter books, which we’ll get to.”↗
