Sounds fascinating. Some recommendations? (not kidding)
- patio11 16y agoTypically they're marketed under an identifiable naming scheme and the heroine's name. I'm going to give you titles from the first in the series, you can search on Amazon to find the rest. Let's see: Dead Witch Watching (my first urban fantasy series and a decent one to get started on if you're new to the genre). Succubus Blues (an... amusing choice in a protagonist). Trick of the Light. Nice Girls Don't Have Fangs ("He vamped me against my will, comedy edition"). Some Girls Bite ("He vamped me against my will, drama edition" -- probably the quickest teach-you-the-tropes book on this list).
- jseliger 16y agoMost urban fantasy isn't very good (at least what I've read so far: Justine Musk, Mike Carey, some others). But if you get a chance, read Lev Grossman's The Magicians: http://jseliger.com/2009/08/28/the-magicians-lev-grossman http://jseliger.com/2009/08/28/the-magicians-lev-grossman . Although it's more straight-up fantasy than urban fantasy, Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy is also excellent.
