Well, I didn't mean alien but maybe a fairy spider. It would involve more than just her running of course.
Hmmm...double hmmm.

But getting back to the subject well my last post probably is on subject...UF.
Anyway, I don't have time to type in all five tonight but here are two more UF writers.
One I haven't seen in person but the online description over at Barnes and Noble.com sounded interesting, maybe lighthearted.
Nightshifted
by Cassie Alexander
Second one here is from my collection. The writer is on my second level...I like reading her stuff but she's not my favorite.
So:
Margaret Ronald, The Evie Scelan series. All with the word Hunt in the title. There are, maybe, five of them. Ronald's world is darker than DF, very few magic users and most are insane in one form or another. Not always in bad ways.
This series is the final inspiration for two different novels I am writing. I say final because there are a couple of others with the same type of MC.

Thanks...again! I'll be sure and check out these authors. My wish list of books is growing very long...so I know what I'll be asking for on my birthday and Christmas. I'd really love to get some, at least, from my library but it sucks, big time. Will be waiting for the rest of your recommendations...

Time I finally get to finishing my list. One reason I took so long is this next writer. His name-specifically spelling it. Had to look it up and copy it.
Thomas E. Sniegoski He's might be more paranormal than UF and I would place him either on the bottom of my second level of top of third.
He has out three series I believe. One if YA I also believe.
But the one I want to suggest is the Remy series. Basically Remy is an angel who severed from PTS after the big battle that kicked the devil and his angels out of heaven. So much death and pain got to Remy. So he gave up being an angel and came to earth to live as a human. There are other angels running about or amuck. Evidently that group with the Morning Star-devil- as their leader wasn't the only group cast from heaven. There's a group sentence to live on earth, there are some who are have been given an early release from hell. Various Biblical characters are still alive. Remy meets up with Samson in the third book. He's still super strong and still blind.
Did I mention Laura Resnick? Her UF series is light hearted and is from the POV of an innocent actress who gets caught up with a wizard's war on evil. As wizards go he's kinda weak but they all are in this series. The series was actually started years ago but because of publisher politics the first one wasn't publicized and was cut off with only one short printing. Resnick restarted it not that long ago but it now starts with book two. I forget when but the original book one will be repainted some time. But There are only one or two points in book two that refers to book one so it reads okay.
T.A. Pratt also has one out. Kinda of different one. A wizard-Maral Mason- runs a city in the back ground. Hardly anyone knows she is the real power behind everything, she tries to protect her people as well as make money. This one is on my third level. Not bad writing, kinda dark in places, different, but still a good read.
There might be one or two more if I can find them.

Ah, you didn't forget!
I've seen the name Thomas E. Sniegoski but never bothered to check him out. I'm particularly interested in his Remy series as anything to do with angels is a particular favorite of mine.
I'll check out the others, too. Thanks!
