Yuillegan:
Is she G33k, where did it say that?

But yes, it seems these two lovebirds will be making an appearance in Peace Talks and/or Battle Grounds. As allies of Harry, but also possibly as extra bodies. More likely, they will be allies replacing those that die during the next two books. It's a common enough move in a series.

Dina:
@Yuillegan So, the Alphas are going to die? (I think they are more or less on the same spot that those kids)

g33k, what?

Yuillegan:
The ones that are still around, probably. Apparently according to a bizarre WOJ some of the Alphas just wrote of their experiences as drug induced delusions in college. Which to me sounds insane.

I suspect Will and Georgia might bite the dust. They are long-time characters with enough emotional value to be worth killing off, without being detrimental to Harry's future or messing up the series. Technically no character is safe but you can always work out who probably won't go. I don't think Andi will necessarily - unless Jim wants to make Butters' story darker.

Michael will probably die at some point in the series (likely in some incredibly selfless act of sacrifice). It would upset enough people reading it and makes for a good scene (the stuff Jim loves). I doubt any of his kids except Daniel or Molly will die, and almost certainly not Charity. Unless the series gets really dark - but Jim tends to balance things well enough. But we know of course that none of the Carpenters die in the next two books (confirmed from the Christmas short story).

Maggie is so safe she might as well be invulnerable. Which doesn't mean Mouse is but I think he'll be around for a while. Jim loves dogs and I doubt he would kill off Mouse just for the emotional pay off. Tbh it would upset me more than many of the characters.

But here is my list of those that are being circled by the Angel of Death:
- Thomas (Yeah...that's coming eventually)
- Murphy (almost certainly in the next two books, probably just after her and Harry finally sort their relationship out)
- Ebenezar (Death of the mentor is a pivotal moment in any book, for any number of reasons. I feel that it might happen somewhere in the next two books)
- Alphas (excluding Andi)
- Ramirez (Perhaps trying to keep up with Harry. Has awful luck. Maybe even fighting Harry's darker allies. Certainly things are being set up to have them at the opposite sides of the table)
- Luccio (For sure will die soon)
- The Merlin (probably doing the right thing, but too little too late)
- Ancient Mai, Listens-to-Wind, Gatekeeper
- Titania (but only in the BAT)
- Mab (almost certainly in the BAT)
- Vadderung (I mean, he is fated to die in Ragnarok)
- Mac (but only in the BAT)
- One of the Mothers
- Lea (I am mixed on this...she also makes a perfect Mab replacement)
- Gard (But not in the next two books)

Characters exist to serve the story. This story is getting increasingly violent and deadly and horrifying. The goofy PI Wizard novels are gone and are slowly being replaced with a Warrior-Wizard in the midst of a deadly conflict between the epic powers of the universe. Some will dislike that, some will love it. But that's how it was always going to go. Which means that a lot of the cast will get killed off eventually. It will break our hearts, develop the remaining characters and push the story along, and it will make room for new characters. Just the way of things.

That'd make her Thomas' niece, too...

I think you're misreading that line.  She is referring to being in Lara's territory, not her Father's.  She isn't going to refer to her Father as "Count Barrrowill" or whatever.

Yeah, it was that off beat PI/Wizard story line that attracted me to Dresden in the first place.  I too lament that the direction it is headed seems to be the more standard fantasy route..
