Looking for an Urban Fantasy Rec

[snshne322]

I've read almost all the big-name series as well as some lesser known.  I'm itching to get back to my favorite genre, but I've picked through a lot of it.  I have First Grave on the Right on hold to try, but I need an audio book to start.  PNRs are fine too, but I really love a good Urban Fantasy. 

A few that I've liked are:

Mercy Thompson (and Spinoffs)
Kate Daniels
Riley Jenson
Fever
Chicagoland
Night Huntress (and Spinoffs)


Any suggestions?

I was going to suggest Chicagoland and see you've read them.

Have you tried the Black Dagger Brotherhood ones? I actually liked Chicagoland a bit better but they are pretty good, honestly.

Dark-hunter/Were-hunter/Dream-hunter series by Sherrilyn Kenyon
Succubus Blues/Georgina Kincaid series by Richelle Mead

Try the series by RL Naquin that starts with Monster in my Closet. It's fun and very engaging.

Have you read any of Charles de Lint's books? There are a number of stories in his Newford series.

I've started both of those and never went back after the second book.  No good reason, either!  I've loved Richelle Meads other stuff.  Especially Dark Swan.  I'm going to see if my library has the audio on the Georgina Kincaid books.  Thanks!

The first one looks fun! I added it to be TBR.  My library doesn't seem to have it.

Yep, I'm only one book behind on BDB.  In hindsight, I think I liked Chicagoland a bit better too.  I think BDB probably should have stopped at book 8.  You know it's bad when they start recycling characters!

My library doesn't have this either!  You'd think the Boston electronic selection would have it, but they seem to not have a great selection in this genre besides the best selling series.  BOOO!

To be fair, he was probably most popular in the '90s, so it isn't a huge surprise that his stuff isn't in wide circulation anymore.

How about Nalini Singh's Archangel series? It gets better as it goes on. Burn for Me or the Innkeeper series by Ilona Andrews?

Let me see if I can share it. What is your Kindle email?

I've read at least the first book, but I really just thought it was only OK.  I'm glad to hear that it gets better as is goes on because I really enjoy Pshy/Changling and her Rock Series.

I'm on pins and needles waiting for the second in the Burn for Series.  I LOVED it.

Me too!!! When she announced it wouldn't be until 2017 I was quite sad. But it'll be worth the wait I am sure

Did you read Angelfall & the subsequent books (it's a trilogy) by Susan Ee? I loved those books so much. They're YA (or maybe NA?) and really good.

NK Jemisin is great. I recently read this one and I really need to finish the series. www.goodreads.com/book/show/6437061-the-hundred-thousand-kingdoms?ac=1&from_search=true

I enjoy DB Reynolds "Vampires in America" series. Definitely more PNR than UF though.
