In fact I do not read much of the urban fantasy genre, but I am sharing these suggestions for the benefit of other friends on this forum. Perhaps you may like them.  |

He was too slick - almost like what Harry might wish he was. Atticus is handsome, magically powerful, slick, wise-cracking, and (if I'm remembering this right) sleeps with every desirable woman he comes across. Is there a male term for "Mary Sue"?

I tried the first book in
The Iron Druid series and really don't even remember just how far I got into it, but I never finished it. I simply could not warm up to the protagonist, Atticus. I don't believe that any reader can enjoy a book where they don't even like the protagonist and I simply
did not like Atticus.
I've not yet had any experiences with the other two recommended series.

I agree.
