Danielle | 2 comments I am looking for a new series. Some of my past favorites are

Alpha Omega and Mercy Thompson by Patricia Briggs
Anything written by Ilona Andrews
The Others by Anne Bishop
Iron Druid by Kevin Hearne
Haven & Alex Craft by Kalayna Price
Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor

I usually don't like serial romances dressed up as UF but I did love Psy Changling by Nalini Singh.

There is got to be something out there that is as good as the series I have listed. I can't seem to find it.

Practical Mike | 35 comments I'll second the Harry Dresden and Alex Verus series.

I'd also add Monster Hunter International (Monster Hunter International, #1) by Larry Correia .


message 8: by Lacey (new)

Lacey (she2beautiful) Harry Dresden is pretty freaking awesome but there's also the Downside Ghosts' series by Stacia Kane the first one is Unholy Ghosts. I also loved The Hollows series by Kim Harrison, the October Daye series by Seanan McGuire, the Charley Davidson books by Darynda Jones, the Jane Yellowrock series by Faith Hunter, the Charlie Madigan series by Kelly Gay and the Elemental Assassin series by Jennifer Estep.

I clicked through these links a while back and they did not seem like the same kind of books I mentioned I liked. Are these just UF books you have edited?


message 11: by Leiah (new)

Leiah Cooper (leiahingolden) | 332 comments Nope though some are. Sorry if they dont meet your requirements for whatever reason.

Halfway to the Grave
Jennifer Rardin
Moon Called

There's a lot here I know, I also recommend ANYTHING by Tamora Pierce, she was the start of epic fantasy for me and I still read anything she gets published. Some of these since they're the start of the series are a little rough but all of them get much, MUCH better as they go on. I hope these help!

C. | 5 comments Could someone please suggest some titles which are NOT as gruesome as Jim Butcher's Desden's files? Tried 'Storm Front', and his writing is not for me!


message 17: by Teresa (new)

Teresa Valentic (tvalentic) | 12 comments Also try books by misty Evans for a fun read that is similar to what you listed.


message 18: by Ruth (new)

Ruth | 1 comments Darynda Jones Charley Davidson series?
