Urban Fantasy: Straight, No Romance (63 books)

This list is for some straight up, no holds barred, NO ROMANCE included Urban Fantasy.

We don't want no stinkin' Romance here! If there is a relationship, it MUST take place off page and NOT be a major factor in the plot.

When adding books, only add the first book in a series or a standalone. If you add a series book that is not a first book in a series, it will be removed.

NO ROMANCE
NO LOVE ANYTHING
NO SELF-PROMOTION (if you wrote it, don't add it!)
NO SELF-PUBLISHED BOOKS
NO SCIENCE FICTION
