Good Urban Fantasy Recomendations?
I have read several urban fantasy series lately, and they seem to keep me interested but I can't seem to find another good collection of books to read.
The series I have read thus far: Dresden Files (Great Books Highly Recommended) Iron Druid Chronicles (great series with great mythology) There arent any others that are worth mentioning, but any suggestions would be welcomed. Thanks in advance! Whitaker9 |

A couple about fairies:
Rosemary and Rue, by Seanan McGuire - A changeling detective with well-thought-out background into fey politics. The second book isn't that great, but the other three are fantastic - the fifth one comes out later this year. Of Blood and Honey, by Stina Leicht - There's only one out so far, but it's really good. If you don't mind polyamory (not graphic, just mentioned) I really enjoyed The Enchantment Emporium, by Tanya Huff. It's a mystery involving dragons and the Gale family, who are powerful magic users. It's also really funny. The second book comes out in November, I think. I'm just getting into Urban Fantasy myself, so I'll have to check out the series you mentioned! |

Tim Pratt's Marla Mason series is quite good. I've read a couple and have a couple more on my TBR list.

It's only if you are not realizing it's old and having nothing to contribute to it. We've recently has some old threads resurrected because the people posting answers the question long after it's over. A thread like that is not obsolete and can be added to easily without a problem. It depends what the thread is about.
A thread on fonts can easily be kept going even if it's old as the information is not obsolete or out-of-date. So yes that thread is old and yes there is a warning. But the waring is unnecessary and you should be using that thread as it has a lot of good information pertaining to that the OP wants. Starting a new thread is basically tossing out all that good information in the other thread. Also, the last posts were in December 2010. So the thread is not that old. It has posts in it less then a year old. It's not obsolete and too old to be of use. So please use that instead of continuing here. |

I like Richard Kadrey's Sandman Slim series. A little like Dresden but darker. |

Maybe the two threads can be merged?

I've just posted the OP's question over at the other thread because that's where it belongs. I suggested reading that thread. If that other thread gets going again, people will post to it (IMHO) instead of posting duplicate suggestions here.
