Alternatives While We Wait

Ok, knocked off Strange Magic in about 24 hours. Thanks, Con - that was really quite good. Maybe close to as good as Storm Front considered alone. I'll have to read more to compare at the series level. But yeah - you've thrown me a major bone! Much appreciated!
Con:
Lol I'm glad I could help. He's got spin offs as well that you can check out once you've ran out of Yancy Lazarus books. One from the perspective of a Big Foot Princess, the other from a Golem with the memories of Holocaust victims.
Might also wanna check out Hellequin Chronicles, has Arthurian and Trojan links. I'm currently on the first one.
KipIngram:
Yes, I've read the Hellequin Chronicles. Those are quite interesting too.

First, what are the Dresden Files books, so we can search for others like it? One thing they are is "Urban Fantasies", so this can help, "urban fantasy with male lead characters", https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/5181._Urban_Fantasy_With_Male_Lead_Characters , you will note that Dresden files much of the top of this list, so we can expect that those also near the top are at least somewhat like Dresden.
Next, where did "Urban Fantasy" come from? I believe it started with Mercedes Lackey, specifically her "Serrated Edge" series, starting with "Born to Run", Elves, racecars, and a human mage who acts a lot like Dresden, and the "Urban Elves" sort of thing found here http://www.mercedeslackey.com/books/bedlam4.html in the "Bedlam Bards" series. As far as I can see, that is where the whole type of world we see Dresden inhabit, and the sort of story he is in, came from.
Therefore, it seems likely that these books by Mercedes Lackey and friends will be enjoyed by those who like Dresden.
As a side note, I noticed an ad for a new "Fantastic Beasts" movie, with two guys with wands. So, naturally, I broke out the old wand breaker spell, just in case, but it has been a while, so all I managed to do was ruin some gals nails (she said I did it just today, this actually happened). OK, so now I have a nails breaker spell in my spellbook, never can tell when you might need such a thing, next, I am working on a "Bad Hair Day" spell.
Don't tell the bigfoot.

--- Quote from: flying peach on September 09, 2018, 04:34:15 AM ---I just finished 5 ebooks that are the free type with kindle unlimited that's the Montague and Strong series. Worth a try if you have kindle unlimited. It has good and bad things about it, but I liked it. The character references that wizard in Chicago (meaning Harry Dresden) but he also references a wizardly type in Saint Louis in the same sentence. Anyone know who that is?
Anyway, the main character is cursed to immortality by Shiva, has a time stopping sigil on his wrist that causes a dominatrix librarian dressed lady luck to appear and slap him around a bit, a pet hellhound, and is best friend's with a mage who he operates a detective agency with.

Saint Louis is probably Shayne Silvers Nate Temple series and spinoff https://www.goodreads.com/series/250502-templeverse-chronological-order which by the way is a fun to read series.
