Dear Mr. Butcher:
WHAT
Because discussing the actual story would be impossible without spoiling, I'm instead going to nitpick two things.
First, at one point a symbol that looks like a circle with a line through it is thought by Harry to maybe be a Greek omega and iota on top of one another. Er... Unless I understood the description wrong, that would not look like a circle with a line through it. You want a plain circle-and-line, you need omicron; that however would mess his his pseudo-interpretation of the letters ("the last detail" -> "every last little thing"). On the other hand, maybe Jim Butcher does actually know Greek letters, and it is supposed to be an omega... well, sir, your visual description of it otherwise totally failed to make me see that.
Second, at one point, a character--a faerie character!--says, in reference to Jesus, "three days on a tree." Err... no. Three hours on a "tree." He's usually been really good at using Christian symbology and such, so to get a detail like that wrong--from the mouth of a character who it would be hard to just say the character was wrong--is a little surprising.
Now that that's out of the way...
AHHHHH
