BTW, saw no evidence of Lash in this book??
I believe Lash was the parasite mentioned by Mab or Demonreach at the end of the book.
Lasciel.
"Lash" was the mirror image of Lasciel (brought on by touching the Denarian coin and not possessing it) in Harry's head that he corrupted to be good, but she died in the use of power exhibited in BLOOD RITES finale.
Butcher has made sure to differentiate the two as differing entities.
If that whispered words demon was Lasciel (I have my doubts, but maybe) then it was certainly the real deal Denarian...
though it raises a point...
The Denarian Coin for Lasciel (IIRC) was last buried inside the Copper circle embedded int he floor of Harry's lab 'neath his house...which was destroyed in CHANGES, and is now the location of Marconi's Justice League HQ...does that mean Lasciel's coin is still buried under the earth of the new HQ?
I know the difference between Lash and Lasciel and I meant Lash. As Jim has said, death is kind of squishy in the Dresden universe and we had examples of that first hand in Ghost Story.
Re other comments: The coin was likely not still in Father Forthill's room. It was given to him for safekeeping and would have ended up in whatever repository the Church has for such things, he would not have kept it in his room.
The cheating part is that angels (fallen and otherwise) are not allowed to interfere with mortals, except in specific circumstances. The Denarians are an exception due to their circumstances, but there are many other fallen who could have been whispering to Harry.
