I've been dividing my time between the Kate Daniels series and the Edge series, both by the awesome author-duo Ilona Andrews. This husband and wife write very well together; I am definitely a fan!
I like both series, but I had a hard time getting into the third Edge book: Fate's Edge, and had to set it aside. I'm not sure if I'll pick it up again right after the book I'm reading now, or a few more books down the road. Either way, with only Fate's Edge and a 4th, final, book left to read, I plan to finish the entire Edge series this summer.
I'm currently reading the third book in the Kate Daniels series, Magic Strikes, and I am thoroughly enjoying it! This series is steadily making its way up my "Favorites" list. Although its little gorier than I'm accustomed to reading, the series does so many things well, with unique takes on mythology and lore. I find myself liking Kate and her co-characters more and more with every book.
As a side note: My twins have been reading the Harry Potter series and I couldn't be happier sharing the experience with them. Twin A is still in the early stages, about 1/2 way through Prisoner of Azkaban (book 3). Twin B has been tearing through them and will most likely finish Deathly Hallows (and therefore the series as a whole) by the end of the weekend.
Twin B and I have also been watching the movies together; Goblet of Fire (book 4) is up next.
