Why not, reading recommendations are always welcome
I've been reading the Kate Daniels (the first is
Magic Bites) novels by
Illona Andrews over the past few weeks.
It's Urban Fantasy set some years in the future (sometime around 2046?, not sure).
As in the Dresdenverse Magic and Tech are at odds, but here magic comes and goes in waves, one moment technology works just fine the next magic rules and tech is almost useless.
The protagonist is Kate Daniels (who would've guessed) a merc that deals with the monsters and other nasties that come with the magic, provided you're paying the guild fees of course. She's also the only viewpoint character (first person like Harry, maybe not quite as much of a smartass).
It's got action, fun, a little bit of mystery and bit of romance and I think those who like Harry should take a look.
