Help! Looking for a sidekick as wonderful as Jenks and Giguhl

[Ambisaurus]

I think the topic says it all but I'm on the last Sabina Kane novel and midway through the Hollows series and I'm terrified I won't find another series with characters I love as much as these. Could anyone help recommend something?

Series with great sidekicks:

The World of the Lupi series by Eileen Wilks has Grandmother - an indomitable, elderly lady and Cullen Seabourne - a werewolf sorcerer.

The Leandros Brothers series by Rob Thurman has Robin Goodfellow - a humourous, lecherous being who inspired the puck and satyr myths.

The Walker Paper series by C.E. Murphy has Gary - an elderly taxi driver with a love of life helps the main character fight zombies among other things.

The October Daye series has lots of fun sidekicks - Quentin, Raj, May, Jaz, Walter, and Spike among others.

The Incryptid series (also by Seanan McGuire) also has a variety. My favorites are the Aesilin Mice - intelligent, uniquely religious, and possessing a great love of food, and Ista, a fierce shape-shifter who dresses in the Lolita fashion.

The Jane Yellowrock series by Faith Hunter has Beast - a cougar whose soul bonded with Jane Yellowrock.

The Iron Druid series by Kevin Hearne has Oberon - an intelligent Irish wolfhound with a love of sausage, poodles, movies, and chasing squirrels.

The Elemental Assassin series by Jennifer Estep has Finn - a ladies' man, a con artist, and partner-in-crime to Gin Blanco.

The Dresden Files series by Jim Butcher has Bob - a porn-loving air spirit that is contained in a skull and serves as a mentor to Harry Dresden.

The Kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrews has a nice group of sidekicks - Andrea, Julie, Derek, and Ascanio.

Wow! That's a great list, Sara. You included all the ones I could think of - plus a few more I need to add to my TBR list. :)

hehe yeah I thought of that after! and now you have given me a reason to try that 2nd book..

[Jean ~ Kindle Queen]

I liked the second book much better than . Oh! Plus, there's Minion, who is a sidekick to the bad guy. Loved Minion!

[Ambisaurus]

Is the first a good read as well or am I going to wish I could skip to the second one?

Nina Bangs mackenzie Vampire series has the delightful and mischievous Sparkle and Ganymede. They are demigods of sexual mischief.

I highly recommemnd Gena Showalter's Tales of an Extraordinary Girl. Tanner is a wonderful sidekick and you'll love all the supporting cast.

Thanks so much you guys =) you've named so many books I've never heard before that I might have to go on a shopping spree soon.

The Sandman Slim series has lots of interesting sidekicks; by Richard Kadrey. Check out The Nightside series by Simon R. Green - fantastic sidekicks! Shotgun Suzie..

I liked too, but I wasn't totally enamored with the main character in that one. It took me a bit to come over to his side. You could check out a sample to see if it's for you. I did enjoy the subtle humor though.

I really love Jenks and Giguhl too! In fact, the only other side kick/ supporting character that is just as good a ride for my money is Jupiter from Jenn Bennet's Arcadia Bell series that starts with Kindling the Moon. He is truly a delight! I didn't read the series at first as I thought the main character might be another brash, unlikeable kick-ass female but turns out I was wrong!

[Ambisaurus]

I actually have the Arcadia Bell series on my tbr shelf. I didn't know there was a sidekick though. Might have to pick the first book up sooner.

[Kathy (Kindle-aholic)]

Basically ditto everything Sara said, and the Arcadia Bell series is awesome too.

I love Lynx from Maria Schneider's Witch Shadow seies. A young, stray cat shifter who starts off with a wary business relationship w/the MC.

[Brianna]

Arcadia Bell is great. :)

Try the Allison Pang series there is a 3 inch tall horny unicorn as a sidekick.
