Mercy Thompson
Consider the similarities:

But I find the covers interesting. The same artist (Dan dos Santos) creates Mercy's facial characteristics quite differently on almost every cover. Here's my favorite (I just love the earrings!

Finished Proven Guilty and starting White Night. Little bit disappointed by the end. Nothing really happens other than lots of open ends. I stopped thinking in books, so I did not even take any time off before starting new one.

Cold Days. Another Harry Dresden book, another cover with Harry Dresden wearing a hat. :P *cue up "Gotta have a hat" by Ray Stevens*
Currently reading "Old Soldiers" (it's in Keith Laumer's BOLO universe). Will go to Cold Days when done what that. |

I doubt it will be released. Check out http://www.jamespotterseries.com/cha...incomplete.pdf - author talking about abandoning James Potter so he can publish real stuff and not be branded as a mere non-serious fan-fiction writer.

I would like to suggest for fans of kate Shugak and Tony Hillerman, Thomas Perry's Jane Whitefield Series. Available in libraries as well.

What is urban fantasy anyway? Dresden Files is supposed to be, right? Is everything fiction that is set up in the confines of a city, and that is more fiction than is hypothetically "real", thus more fantasy, automatically labeled as "urban fantasy"?
