Got any Urban Fantasy suggestions? Also Cassandra Clare

[Jace]

Got any Urban Fantasy suggestions? I'm a fan of The City Watch series and The Mortal Instruments so that's the kind of feel I'm looking for.

Also, feel free to discuss any Cassandra Clare books ya want. Cause why not diversify?

By Urban Fantasy, do you mean such things as Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman?

 

[Jace]

Yeah, that's one example. Basically fantasy during modern times. Though I didn't like Neverwhere. Not a Neil Gaiman fan.

 

[Tonyblack]

Shame, because American Gods is well worth checking out.

Try Kelly Armstrong - her books are really good, my missus got me onto them, the main 13 book series finished 2 years ago but short stories are being released.

They are mainly female orientated and are very adult sexy but extremely brutal too lots of werewolves, vampires, demons, witches and the like!

I would recomend Kim Harrison's Hollow series and Jim Butcher's Harry Dresden series excellent urban gritty books.

Laura Resnick has a good series of paranormal screwball comedy set in New York City. The heroine is an aspiring actress who keeps getting involved in paranormal events. The first book is Disappearing Nightly.

A slightly more serious urban fantasy, while still comic, is Seanan McGuire's InCryptid series. The first book is Discount Armageddon.

Tom Holt mostly writes modern day fantasy with a humorous twist.

Jim Butcher - The Dresden Files
Ben Aaronovitch - Rivers of London series
Kevin Hearne - The Iron Druid Chronicles - although these are less police procedural/private detective, whereas the previous two are.
