The series is complete, but there are quite a few bonus stories that take place before, during, and after the last series novel.
I do hope to read them all at some point.

Thank you. A bonus the series is complete. Earlier this year I started
Colin McCool thinking it was complete, only to find out it wasn't at the end. Was going to recommend it here, but not when it is unknown how it ends or if it ends. Nothing worse than a never ending series that the author doesn't know how to kill off at the right time and end it. Series are nice, but having too many I am waiting on to be continued is horrible. Many got picked to gap the time until a new
Dresden book comes out ...

I don't know the status of the Hollows series. I started reading it when the first book came out; initially really liked it, then at some point, book 5 or whatever, started feeling like Harrison was being hit over the head with the LKHamilton stick, and decided, BTDT on a supernatural-mystery series that decides that fauxrotica is more profitable. I don't have any issue with sex scenes, etc., but when they start to take over from actual plotting, meh.

I will pass then, same reason I am not starting
Anita Blake. Just like you, I don't mind the scenes, but not at the cost of changing the genre of the series. And only reading until it goes downhill?
Meh. I would always wonder if I missed out on something.

That's why I gave up on LKH, years ago now, (an originally great supernatural murder mystery series that degenerated into the originally-bad-ass female protagonist being the supernatural-blow-up-sex-doll for the supe community) and I decided that I didn't want to enrich another publisher that ruined another series (that I'd originally really liked).

So you are saying usually the pressure comes from the publisher? Either you go add more romance, or you won't get any more books published.

FWIW. But, sure, they could crossover with a bit of creative rewriting, or Harry getting sent into some alternate timeline, whatev.

At least it would be theoretically possible.
