#64 Shattered by Kevin Hearne

The 7th book in the series splits up Atticus from Granuaile for most of the plot. She is in India trying to fight the Rakshasa that has taken over his body. Atticus and his now rescued former teacher are out of contact with her for most of the book but  things are coming to a head with the Fae and Atticus. Everyone meets up in the end but there are not happy endings for everyone.  This closes one part of the story arc that has started at the beginning of the book but there is still more with Loki and the revised Raragnarok that is still coming.

#65 The Rhesus Chart by Charles Stross

The fifth book in the series has Bob handing investment banker vampires [which don't exist] and dealing with the personal fallout of getting one of his and Mo's few non Laundry friends involved with the Laundry [from the previous book]. His take on vampires fits great with the overall universe he has set up. I do have to say that as amusing as bits of these books are there is the overwhelming dread that the end is coming as it does get referenced by most of the regular characters at some point in the story. The story ends with the main story arc going forward instead of just being hinted at. But with how things ended in this one I'm not sure if I'm ready to grab the next one as soon as it comes out. I think I'll have to make sure I'm ready for the grim story line.
