Can any one give me some good mind numbing/or not urban fantasy/paranormal romance since they seem to be just about the same thing these days? I've read the Sookie Stackhouse books, Kim Harrison's books, and quite a few others. What is at least an entertaining read, please help me book barn, your my only hope!

King Plum the Nth posted:Not my native genre but I asked an expert in the field. Apologies if some of these are repeats. Here's the list: Patricia Briggs - Mercedes Thompson series (first book: Moon Called) Have read these books and they were entertaining. Rachel Caine - Weather Warden (first book: Ill Wind) and Morganville Vampires series (first book: Glass Houses) [Actually, I did read the first one in this series and it was a lot of fun - KPtN] The Weather Warden series was great I started and finished every book in it last week. The Morganville Vampire series is teen lit and ~200 pages for 7-8 bucks is a bit hard for me to see it worth it I'm going to check have price books for them. Carrie Vaughn - Kitty Norville Series (first book: Kitty and the Midnight Hour) The kitty Norville series is a lot of fun. Jacqueline Carey - Kushiel series (first book: Kushiel's Dart) I haven't read the Kushiel books but Saint Olivia was a great read. Laurell K. Hamilton - Anita Blake, Vampire Hunter series (first book: Guilty Pleasures) I hear scary things about this series and how the main character goes and becomes a whore for anything supernatural and gets really creepy. I'll look into the other series though thank you.

freebooter posted:Took the words out of my mouth, except I was going to add "but it sucks." Neil Gaiman's books in general, Neverwhere (really fun read), Stardust (another fun read), and American God's fit this. A lot of urban fantasy would also hit that but instead of going from real world to fantasy world its more like learning the real world as they know it is not all their is.

I just finished Blood Song Raven's Shadow Awesome book 1. I heard about it here comparing to The Way of Kings and The Name of The Wind two other books I like. What else is close to as good as it is?

Ethereal Duck posted:You might like The Lies of Locke Lamora by Scott Lynch. I also highly recommend everything by Joe Abercrombie, starting with The Blade Itself. Other options are The Warded Man by Peter V. Brett or I suppose Brent Weeks' books, though his Night Angel series really grates on me personally. I have read The Lies of Locke lamora, the Night Angel books and the colormagic thing, and the Warded man and Desert Spear by Peter Brett, I need to try and retry to read the Joe Abercrombie stuff.

Ethereal Duck posted:I recently read the Riyria Revelations, maybe you'll like that. It was hardly innovative but it was a fun read. I have already read that also. I happen to read a wee bit. I guessed how that would end and was still happy.
