My Wishlist: the Absolutely-Must-Read-UF-series Edition
Today I’m here to share with you all a slight part of my wishlist. Specifically a slice of my evergrowing UF series wishlist.
Urban fantasy is one of my favourite genres and I couldn’t be happier that I constantly discover new highly praised UF series and authors thanks to my fellow blogger friends.
So let me tell you about a few of my absolutely-must-read-UF-series!
Red Headed Stepchild by Jaye Wells (Sabina Kane series)
In a world where being of mixed-blood is a major liability, Sabina Kane has the only profession fit for an outcast: assassin. But, her latest mission threatens the fragile peace between the vampire and mage races and Sabina must scramble to figure out which side she’s on. She’s never brought her work home with her—until now.This time, it’s personal.
On the Edge by Ilona Andrews (The Edge series)The Broken is a place where people shop at Wal-Mart and magic is nothing more than a fairy tale.The Weird is a realm where blueblood aristocrats rule and the strength of your magic can change your destiny.Rose Drayton lives on the Edge, the place between both worlds. A perilous existence indeed, made even more so by a flood of magic-hungry creatures bent on absolute destruction.
Kitty and the Midnight Hour by Carrie Vaughn (Kitty Norville series)Kitty Norville is a midnight-shift DJ for a Denver radio station – and a werewolf in the closet. Her new late-night advice show for the supernaturally disadvantaged is a raging success, but it’s Kitty who can use some help. With one sexy werewolf-hunter and a few homicidal undead on her tail, Kitty may have bitten off more than she can chew?
I love werewolf shifter stories, and that is enough for me to want to read this series. Oh and I also love stories told from the heroine POV. Double win ;-p
The Summoning by Kelley Armstrong (Darkest Powers series)After years of frequent moves following her mother’s death, Chloe Saunders’s life is finally settling down. She is attending art school, pursuing her dreams of becoming a director, making friends, meeting boys. Her biggest concern is that she’s not developing as fast as her friends are. But when puberty does hit, it brings more than hormone surges. Chloe starts seeing ghosts–everywhere, demanding her attention. After she suffers a breakdown, her devoted aunt Lauren gets her into a highly recommended group home.At first, Lyle House seems a pretty okay place, except for Chloe’s small problem of fearing she might be facing a lifetime of mental illness. But as she gradually gets to know the other kids at the home–charming Simon and his ominous, unsmiling brother Derek, obnoxious Tori, and Rae, who has a “thing” for fire–Chloe begins to realize that there is something that binds them all together, and it isn’t your usual “problem kid” behaviour. And together they discover that Lyle House is not your usual group home either…

I'm a big fan of all those series – you should def start reading them soon!
In terms of what else you should add to you wishlist, have you tries Mercy Thompson series, Ann Aguirre's Corine Solomon series and Mike Carey's Felix Castor. Castor is a great hero and the 5 books are all set in London so it's a little different from other UF! 🙂
I read the first book in the Kitty series and it's awesome. I really should read the rest of the series.
Have you tried the Persephone Alcmedi series by Linda Robertson? That's a cool series as well. As is the Hunter Kiss series by Marjorie M. Liu
I added Red-Headed Stepchild to my lookup list and Kelley Armstrong's name to see how far behind I've gotten, but my favorites are Kim Harrison's Rachel Morgan series, Patricia Briggs Mercy Thompson series…. Kat Richardson's Greywalker's series is one I've only found recently, but so far I'm enjoying — and the only male main UF that I've really enjoyed is Jim Butcher's Dresden Files.
I've only read Ilona's series from your list.
Kat Richardson – Greywalker
Jess Haines – The Others series
Vickie Pettersson – Signs of the Zodiac
Jocelynn Drake – Dark Days series
there are tons more, but that is all that comes to mind right now
I've dabbled in UF now and again:
Kim Harrison's Rachel Morgan
Patricia Briggs' Mercy Thompson
Jim Butcher's Harry Dresden
Anton Stout's Simon Canderous
Jocelynn Drake's Dark Days
Kasey Mackenzie's Shades of Fury
I should get back to reading the Darkest Powers series.
I hope I don't jinx future novels by saying this: Ilona Andrews never disappoints. I have enjoyed everything she's written. I would pay $7.99 to read her grocery list. Andrews, Briggs, and Vaughn are my UF auto-buys. And speaking of Briggs and Vaughn, I'm not really a fan of werewolves, but Briggs and Vaughn are just that good. Given the overlap in our lists, I'm going to put Wells on my TBR.
