It has werewolves and vampires. The setting was interesting and the characters were really well-written.
The Iron King
Fascinating series about the evolution of Fae in a modern world.
Shiver
A series by Maggie Stiefvater about werewolves set in the contemporary US.
Wake
The first book in the Watersong series about Sirens in the modern world.

The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher. A wizard in modern day Chicago working as the first wizard PI helping police with "Special/weird" cases. Its kick ass, has lots of action, both guns and magic, lots of sardonic humor, sarcastic humor, its fun, excellent character development and supporting characters.
The Iron Druid Chronicles by Kevin Hearne. 2000year old druid running a herbal shop in the USA hunted by homicidal Gods and fae. Has a dog he can talk too who is hilarious. Lots of action, fun read.
Sandman Slim Series by Richard Kadrey. Noir Humour, very violent but kind of tongue in cheek so it just works. He was sent to Hell alive, became a Devils play thing, then a devils assassin now he's back on earth and after revenge. I don't sell it very well but its an addictive page turner.
FANTASY FICTION
Everything by David Gemmel - Fantasy fiction at its best.
Brent Weeks. - The Shadows series and new one the Prism series has new slants on an existing genre, especially the prism series.
Peter V Brett - good new author I highly recommend him.
Tom Lloyd - storm caller. Great book
URBAN FANTASY
Magic Bites by Ilona Andrews. Magic and technology ebb and flows, society has kind of broken down, vampires were-beasts and even gods are back. Good action, has a romance interest with the lord of the beasts but this is an aside too the story which adds to it and does not overpower it.
For something different try
The Damned Busters (To Hell and Back #1)by Matthew Hughes. After accidentally summoning a demon, Chesney Anstruther refuses to sell his soul, which leads through various confusions to, well, Hell going on strike. Which means that nothing bad ever happens in the world… with disastrous consequences.

:P"
I am Aurora and I approve this message. (Lol...)

The infernal devices and the mortal instruments(both by cassandra clare)
the significance series












It's an indie book so I was reluctant to try it and not sure that I would have if my friend hadn't recommended it. He loved it and said that it was one of the best books he'd read in a while so I tried it and I'll be darned if he wasn't right. It's fantastic! I can't tell you how much I enjoyed the adventure of it.
I was looking for books (preferably sci-fi or fantasy) but was tired of all the steampunk and dystopian crap out there. I have grown soooo weary of being depressed after reading a story that I had all by given up and was about to just re-read some of my old favorites (starting with the Han Solo Trilogy) but this book really came to my rescue.
I'd highly recommend it. It's a little long but it reads surprisingly fast. I was able to finish it off in a weekend. I was up most of Friday and Saturday night reading it (something I hadn't done since reading Harry Potter books 3 & 4).
If you want a book with some action and adventure, I think this would be a great book for you. Hope you like it as much as I did :)




i think i just found my long lost sister

YAY!!!!! Sister!!!! :)
