read
which I thought was pretty good. also read
have to say im not really a fan, and the end was just depressing - and not in a good way, more of a confused what the fuck just happened kind of way....now re-reading
as I have just gotten my hands on the next book (Unravel Me) and cant recall everything that happened, plus its an awesome book so I don't mind re-reading it.

I am reading Finder by Emma Bull. This is my favourite kind of Urban Fantasy. Now I would like to read all the bordertown books!
I finished
. It has some really great moments and some really slow moments. But I did love the ending, so I'll be checking out the next one soon.Now I'm listening to
and I just love, love, love Angel.

I've only read books by Rob Thurman and Kevin Hearne of the authors in this anthology but so far so good. Kevin Hearne's IDC story was great!

last in the series, my first ever urban fantasy series to finished."Cool, Mark! It's always nice to finish a series. I finished that one recently myself, even though I started it three years ago.
What's next?
Don't know yet I am open to suggestions, I may go with the Dante Valantine series and mix up other urban fantasy to catch up with other authors.I will be reading the urban shaman soon.

There are so many to suggest. A few of my favorites are:
I will warn you that the first Kate Daniels book
starts out pretty slowly, but the rest of the series is phenomenal.And
is seriously better than you would guess from the cover.
thanks christine some i have started like the kate daniels she was my first. caught up with both butcher and hearne waiting for the new books.but most i have just added to my to read list on here.
white trash zombie is starting to pique my interest. lol.

"I hea..."
It was a great read starts off with a bit of an info dump but that really improves quite quickly. The world is amazing and fun. Not quite five stars but really great.

I'll have a review of each story in the book as soon as I get it finished. So far it's mixed but I have at least one new author I want to try.
Finished
. Really nice set of short stories by Urban Fantasy authors. Best part is that it includes an Iron Druid story from Kevin Hearne. My review http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/....Next up finishing
and starting

My review..."YEAH after about the 8 or 9th I was starting to wonder if it would ever end. There was a bit there in the middle where I was beginning to wonder if I'd ever get through. I had to read them all too since it was a free eARC and I felt like I had to review them all. If I had actually bought the book I probably would have skiped a few.
Finished Graveyard Shift There were some things I loved, some things I liked and some things that were a bit meh. Overall a good read and would make a good discussion book because of the lore, the plotting and just some of the overall themes. I think there's a lot to like, but some missteps that made it less than a 5 star read for me.
I am reading The Witch's Boy by Michael Gruber not Urban Fantasy, it is more of a fairy tale retelling.

yea i dont get any read to reviews anymore cause when i feel like i have to write a review i tend to end up stumped and have nothing to say, which is an odd feeling cause i have an opinion on like everything!! lol
which author did you want to check out more of??

I already read Kevin Hearne and Rob Thurman.

Best part is tha..."i believe i have read some of Allison Pangs stuff and if i recall correctly its not to bad. i have deff read some of Jennifer Estep and she is awesome, i adore her elemental series, its one of my faves. kelly gay's series is also quiet good, though i would highly recomend not leavng to big of a gap between books otherwise you'll get rather confused about who's who and what planet there from etc. actually i wouldnt mind re-reading her series. Kelly's books where one of the first i ever bought ^_^
Reading
,
, and getting back into
. I liked that last one but needed to read something lighter around that time.
i tried reading
only got about mid way, it just wasnt at all interesting and the writing wasnt anything special.i also started
but couldnt get into it. then i started
which is about a seriel killer and i have to say so far im loving it!!!
Finished
