DESCRIPTION:
"THINGS ARE ABOUT TO GET SERIOUS FOR HARRY DRESDEN, CHICAGO’S ONLY PROFESSIONAL WIZARD, in the next entry in the #1 New York Times bestselling Dresden Files.
Harry has faced terrible odds before. He has a long history of fighting enemies above his weight class. The Red Court of vampires. The fallen angels of the Order of the Blackened Denarius. The Outsiders.
But this time it’s different. A being more powerful and dangerous on an order of magnitude beyond what the world has seen in a millennium is coming. And she’s bringing an army. The Last Titan has declared war on the city of Chicago, and has come to subjugate humanity, obliterating any who stand in her way.
Harry’s mission is simple but impossible: Save the city by killing a Titan. And the attempt will change Harry’s life, Chicago, and the mortal world forever."

REVIEW:
This book is hard to review without spoilers, so I will just stay that it was fast-paced, exciting, nail-biting and sad...
NOTE 1: Peace Talks and Battle Ground should be read as one book.
NOTE 2: The book comes attached with a charming little Christmas short story.
Not her best work, but a fun read nonetheless. More a straight up mystery than romantic suspense, and while the plot villain was obvious, Stewart at least had some fun misleading the reader about the plot itself.
Aside: I bought this years ago at a FOTL sale for a dollar; when I finished reading it, I saw that it was published and printed 3 blocks from where I live now. On its site now sits a 'home improvement store' - Bunnings, the Aussie answer to Home Depot. A place a spit and swear about every time I have to visit it. Now, it seems, I have even more reason to dislike it - I'd rather the book publishers were still there.
