Thanks Geralt and others, for the Sergei Lukyanenko recommendation. Those books look very interesting. Also thanks Istvan for the Tepper rec. Those look good too.
Would humbly recommend the Bartimaeus books by Jonathan Stroud. Start with Amulet of Samarkand. The books are marketed as YA, but don't let that fool ya. I found the books to be quite sophisticated, dark, with a very adult, almost cynical outlook. The demon character Bartimaeus is very funny and the books are very well written.
