5 Star Rated Urban Fantasy Series?

[Jordy]

I'm very curious to know which popular Urban Fantasy Series do believe deserves a 5 star rating???

[Megan]

For me it's the Hollow series by Kim Harrison (starts with Dead Witch Walking). There are very few books I will read again and these are at the top of that short list. I think everyone will have a different opinion, though. It depends on what world/ story series you can best imagine yourself a part of in your mind and what best lead characters you can relate to. For example, another top series for me is the Mercedes Thompson series. Same author, the Alpha and Omega series just didn't do the same for me (though I did enjoy reading them). Just enjoy Mercy more.

[☀Rachael☀]

My list for 5* is;
Mercy Thompson
Kate Daniels
October Daye
some of Sookie Stackhouse
Allie Beckstorm
and the Night Tracker series
I'm sure I'll add more!

[K.]

Fever series and Kate Daniels. I can re-read those every year.

[Ela]

Mercy Thompson. Without a doubt my favourite UF series, read them contiuously for a couple of months.

i agree these two are the best ones i've read so far,lol

[Sharon]

The top of my "To read again" list is Jeaniene Frost's Night Huntress series. Keri Arthur's Riley Jensen and Penumbra series are also very re-readable!

Scotia you won't be disappointed if you like classic UF! I must look at Kate Daniels, I don't think I've read any of hers yet, and a reviewer mentioned her as a similar author to me, so I must buy a couple of hers.

I loved the Kate Daniels series!!!

[Kat]

Kelly Armstrong's Women of Otherworld. Also Darkest Powers and Darkness Rising. Jeanine Frost's Night Huntress. Karen Marie Moning's Fever. Can't wait for the Fever World. Kate Daniel's Magic series.

There are probably others, but those I can re-read multiple times. In fact I re-read the entire series when a new book comes out :D

[☀Rachael☀]

I can't believe I forgot Night huntress!,

[Nicky]

Nightside by Simon R. Green, Downside Ghosts, Meredith Gentry series (haven't seen them mentioned & are consistently great) also Dresden files-I've re-read ++ times

[Alex]

First 9 or 10 Anita Blake books by Laurell K. Hamilton

Kate Daniels by Ilona Andrews

Jane Yellowrock - skinwalker by Faith Hunter

Jill Kismet and Dante Valentine by Lilith Saintcrow

Downside by Stacia Kane

[Tala]

Wow, love most of the series listed above. I really liked the Crimson Moon series by L.A. Banks, the first book is Bad Blood.

[Allison]

Chicagoland Vampire
Kate Daniels
Georgina Kincaid
Night Huntress

[Allison]

I want to read so many of these, but have to wait for the series to end. I can't take the waiting! The fever series just about killed me when I realized I had to wait for the last book.

[K.]

Only a few more days til Gunmetal Magic! I would pay extra to get certain books a few days earlier than their release!

It would be definitely worth it for . I've been in withdrawal since reading . : )

I can't wait either!!!!!

[Juli]

I'm partial to Kate Daniels by Ilona Andrews and The Hollows series by Kim Harrison. It's been a few years since I read this one, but Tanya Huff's Blood Price is good too. :)

[Kenya]

I completly agree. Those two series come to mine!

[Morgan]

For me, the shortlist would be:

Downside Ghosts (very gritty world building)
Jane Yellow Rock
Kate Daniels
The Hollows
Chronicles of Elantra

[Belizean Babygirl]

The Fever Series
The Vampire Huntress Legend
Dragon Kin
The Black Dagger Brotherhood
Mercy Thompson

[Ellese]

Mercy Thompson Series by Patricia Briggs
Jane Yellowrock series by Faith Hunter
Kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrews
Kitty Norville series by Carrie Vaughn
Elemental Assassin series by Jennifer Estep
Alex Craft series by Kalayna Price
The Walker Papers series by C.E. Murphy
Greywalker series by Kat Richardson
The Dark Days series by Jocelynn Drake
Riley Jensen series by Keri Arthur, and one more that isn't exactly my favorite but is pretty good is a series written by Jeanne C. Stein. Oh and Lilith Saintcrow. If you are looking for a funny/serious urban fantasy/paranormal series' look up Katie MacAlister.
Oh and Karen Chance is awesome too.

I will also say that I loved the first like 9 books by Laurell K. Hamilton, they were awesome until she slept with everything that...well you know. I would also say I liked Kim Harrison for a while until I had to wait too long in between books and got kind of tired of the homosexual tendencies she liked to write into the story.

Wow...that was a lot. Oh well, enjoy!! :D

[Nataliya]

Fever series would be on top for me

[Alisi ☆ wants to read too many books ☆]

My current favorite series are:

The Disillusionists
Kara Gillian
Guild Hunter
Psy-Changling
Downside Ghosts
Fever
Mercy Thompson
Elemental Assassin
Elder Races

[Kimberly]

The Fever Series hands down!!!!!

[melody]

fever series
lux series
bloodlines
vampire academy
covenent series

these are my top five

[Kat]

Yeah, just discovered Downside Ghosts and have to add that to the 5 star series.

[Karen]

Love The Hollows and Mercy Thompson

[Erin]

Black Dagger Brotherhood
The Hollows
Kate Beckstrom

Those three, I can always go back to :)

[Vira]

Erin,

What is the name of the series with Kate Becksrtom? Never heard of it before and am curious :)

[Estelle (E)]

My top list:

1) Fever - Downside Ghosts
2) Guild Hunter - Night Huntress - Mercy Thompson
3) Vampires in America - Kate Daniels
4) Cockwork Angel - Angelfall (so far)

[Anna]

Karen Chance: Cassie Palmer and Dory series. Fury's Kiss is an out and out 5 star.
Patricia Briggs: Mercy Thompson
Ilona Andrews: Kate Daniels - from book 3 and Andrea spin off

1st 9 or 10 books of Anita Blake - L Hamilton 4.5 there's always something in her books that bugs me

[Umar]

This is what I follow in series: Dresden Files by Jim Butcher, The Hollows by Kim Harrison, Sandman Slim by Richard Kadrey, Black Sun's Daughter by M.L.N. Hanover, Elemental Assassin by Jennifer Estep, Iron Druid Chronicles by Kevin Hearne. Looking for something new. Tried first book of Urban Shaman by C.E. Murphy, still letting it setting in my mind.

[Alisi ☆ wants to read too many books ☆]

Yeah, I'm still trying to get into that one too.

Yup. There's always something that makes people want to throw things. LOL! XD I loved Anita until she became a sex kitten. I was so ANGRY!

[Anna]

Agreed!

[Mhari]

I agree about poor Anita Blake, she used to be so kick-ass, the series just annoys me now, I haven't given up yet though, I keep hoping it gets better! Not holding my breath though!

[Anna]

Which book are you on Mhari?

[Mhari]

Waiting for the new one to come out Anna, I know, glutton for punishment huh? Ever the optimist!

[Audrey Jane]

I agree on Anita Blake. I just finished reading Danse macabre and it was quite painful. The story covers 2-3 days! In my opinion there wasn't a real coherent plotline. Strangely I would only give a 5 star to Obsidian butterfly since that was my favourite book.
But despite all that I can't stop reading the Anita Blake series, it's kinda of addictive. I agree with Mahri, hoping it will/must get better.
Without hesitation I would give a 5 star to Mercy Thompson series and Alpha & Omega (but I rather like to read Mercy's than Anna's adventures).

I completely agree!! Why couldn't she stay kick ass without becoming a sex kitten???? I'm going to be very upset if she has sex with Olaf.

[Mhari]

I'm sure sex with Olaf will appear at some point, just the kind of disappointment I'm expecting from the next book!

[Cheryl]

Eww,just eww! Hoping Olaf dies in a horrible way in Affliction. Anybody read Carrie Vaughn's Kitty Norville series? Love Kitty!!

[Karen]

I love Kitty too! Sadly it's been a few books and I'm still not completely sold on Ben.. It's not that I don't like him, I just don't love them together.

[Cheryl]

I hope Cormac gets a love interest. I feel so bad for him. I think he and Kitty would have been good together.

[Mhari]

Love kitty too! Def a 5 star series!

There were already lots of good suggestions, but I don't think these were mentioned, and they are very good also
The Nymphos of Rocky Flats Midnight Riot The Devil Inside Child of Fire The Last Werewolf Already Dead Anno Dracula book:Once Bitten, Twice Shy|937122] Mark of the Demon ][[book:Kitty and the Midnight Hour|14461]

and a very new book that I expect will start a series and was fabulous [book:The Rook|10836728

[Tasula]

Sorry about the links, I can't seem to get them right- The Rook is by Daniel O'Malley,
Once Bitten Twice Shy is by Jennifer Rardin
Kitty and the Midnight Hour is by Carrie Vaughn

Hope you find something that appeals to you
