Listopia > Real Urban Fantasy

I was looking for an urban fantasy list to find some new titles to read. However, I wasn't looking for Young Adult or Paranormal Romance. Ive read and liked both, but when I'm looking for adult urban fantasy, that's what I want to see. So, I shut my big mouth and created this. Obviously defining urban fantasy is difficult for some, so this list is working under the following definition:"Urban fantasy is a subgenre of fantasy defined by place; the fantastic narrative has an urban setting. Urban fantasy exists on one side of a spectrum, opposite high fantasy, which is set in an entirely fictitious world." Feel free to add, but fair warning... young adult, high fantasy and paranormal romances will be removed.
