Hi,
There was a thread on Dark Urban Fantasy but when I tried to post to it I was told the start a new one because it was old. That made me sad.

I personally love Dark Urban and I tend to stay away from the cute stuff – Kim Harrison is my exception but it is more YA than “fluffy.”

I would recommend a new series written by Stacia Kane: Unholy Ghosts, Unholy Magic, and City of Ghosts.

(Not a spoiler – you get this in the first 5 pages of the first book)
The sex is minimal. The main character is a serious drug addict looking for her next fix and doesn’t have a whole lot of moral issues. The world is one in which the soul energy that a person leave when they die doesn’t go away – it turns into a rage-fueled psychopath that torments the living. The setting, something like 27 years after 1/3 of the world population was killed by the rise of the “hungry ghosts” – Haunted Week. Good dark fun. I really like these.
