That leaves about 100 more novels to read - by him. I will, however, be reading that first Odd Thomas book. That one sounds intriguing. |

I would really recommend the 3 book series by Patrick Lee. The first book is The Breech. It is different than most books, with a really good hook. I am just sorry he seems to have hung up his pen. I really like the Brian Haig series too, six books in that, very funny, he also seems to have quit writing. I look for the longer series my self, I usually read around two to three books a day so when I find something I like, I don't want to quit. I have been reading a lot of urban fantasy lately, some really good, some so so.

It's fantasy, but I recently finished "The Song of the Lioness" series by Tamora Pierce. I really enjoyed it. The heroine is an interesting character you get to see grow from a pre-teen into a young woman. There's some good world-building, and the overall story has some good twists and turns.

A good time travel series appeal to you? This one has elements of Mystery as well, The Time Shifters Chronicles by Shanna Lauffey.

A really good book is The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Beck Chambers. It is the first book in the Wayfarers series. The 2nd book is available and the thrid book will be available later this year in July. I found it very enjoyable. And if you like good characters, this is the book for you.

Another good Fantasy series is The Goblin Trilogy by Jaq D. Hawkins. Love the world building in that one.
