Book Recommendation: No PI/Detective

[Dawn, Desperately seeking new worlds]

I love my UF books and while I get why the private investigator or a detective works so well but I need a break.

Does anyone have any UF - no PNR please - recommendations where the heroine/hero is not in the policing business?

Thanks!!

[Darcy]

Dawn, give , this is a newer series, only 2 books, not many people seem to read them, but they are great.

[Leigh]

Have you tried ? I just finished it and really enjoyed it.

[Alisa]

Hhhmmmm I doubt there is anything I've read that you haven't already read but I'll throw these out anyways. :)

[Alisa]

or what about this one......great on audio

[Judith]

I really liked Unholy Ghosts! Sort of an anti-protagonist???

Love the audio!
I just brought the last one.

[Dawn, Desperately seeking new worlds]

Thanks guys and if you have any other recommendations in like fantasy or sci-fi let me know.

[Alisa]

I just remember this series. Not sure if you've read it. I've only read the first few but I like it.

[Leigh]

I don't know if this would be your cup of tea but I just finished it. It is YA but action packed.

The one where the heroine manages a funeral home sounds really good. That's going on my list. :)

and is a really good read. Not sure if you are into that kind of stuff but I know how I am when it comes to reading and if it sounds good I give it a whirl...

Never read Nightshifted will add that
Thanks a lot for the effort you put into the list very cool!

[Mike]

I really enjoyed Nightshifted.

[Tasula]

Fated magic shop owner
The Rook magic council member
Child of Fire ex-con
Staked vamp & nightclub owner
Vampyres of Hollywood actress
Mark of the Demon demon summoner (same author as White Trash Zombie, which is hilarious)
Touch the Dark
Halfway to the Grave starts out as vamp killer
Blood Engines runs a city

[Dawn, Desperately seeking new worlds]

Oh YAY more books!

You know I really wanted to like Fated but it just never worked for me.

But I totally forgot about Vamp City I think I may check out book 2

Never heard of Vampyres of Hollywood nor Blood Engine so adding that to the list.

FYI while I love Mark of the Demon and I cannot wait to see where she goes with the series from here the main character is a Detective.

I didn't like Fated either and I really wanted to but I couldn't even finish it. Blood Engines is amazing, the main character,Marla Mason, is one of my favorites. The new Marla book comes out in Nov.
