--- Quote from: Navis on October 20, 2019, 06:04:18 PM ---I'm currently looking forward to the completion of the Lightbringer series by Brent Weeks that will be released 9/Oct/2019. The first book in the series is The Black Prism. This is more of a fantasy based series but does take an interesting spin on the way magic works and is powered.
For Urban fantasy
Kate Daniels by Ilona Andrews is a 10 book series that is finished. The first book in the series is Magic Bites It is a world magic and technology "take turns " being in charge of the world and the books take place during a time when the world is swinging back towards magic. This isn't a smooth swing though so it fluctuates between the two during the series making for some interesting situations. Kate is something like an investigator at the beginning of the series and after reading both series I think that Kate and Harry would be friends and booth have the same snarky attitude. Also The way vampires are depicted in this series i thought was pretty cool and original.
Mercy Thompson series is an ongoing series by Patricia Briggs. The first book in the series is Moon Called. The world this series takes place in is pretty much mundane. Mercy is a mechanic that owns her own little garage in a small town. She has the ability to turn into a coyote. She has a vampire as a friend and lives down the road from a pack of werewolves.

Havent read Mercy Thompson yet, but I the last book of the Lightbringer series released yesterday so I'm all about that right now
Rich44:
The Nightsider series by Simon R Green is extremely good about 13 books & is finished.
It's darker, more "adult" I suppose but it has a snarky jaded protagonist who everyone starts of with nothing but contempt for.
I highly recommend it, I loved it & the audio books are excellent too.

Here is another vote for the Rivers of London series as a fun Urban Fantasy series. I really like it. I particularly like the narrator of the Audiobook, Kobna Holdbrook-Smith. He is fantastic. He does some amazing voices.
An oldie but a goody is the Black Company by Glen Cook. Has nothing to do with Urban fantasy, but it's a classic series.
The Locke Lamora series is a good read, too.
BobbyWac:
I'd second Mercy Thompson series and would also recommend the October Daye series by Seanan McGuire. Nothing compares to DF but both are good
Nightfall:
FADE, BY Daniel Humphreys, book 1 of the Paxton Locke series (total 3 so far). Described as "Harry Dresden’s sorcery goes on a Supernatural-style road trip. Cool car sold separately." It feels like a Dresden book, even though it isn't.
