Urban Fantasy discussion

Okay, what are we reading for the last month of 2013? Suggestions, please!

- just released this month and it's the first in a new series (so no series baggage yet, lol).

Not sure if any of these qualify as UF but I am gearing up to read these. I really just grabbed them off the shelf as they struck my fancy.

Goldenland Past Dark
by Chandler Klang Smith

The Forbidden Book
by Joscelyn Godwin

After finding The Fallen and Leviathan enjoyable, I am also reading....

Aerie (The Fallen, #3)
by Thomas E. Sniegoski

For something that's fun

For something more traditionally UF I really enjoyed

Just released this in October, and has had great reviews. I like it, but I'm biased. I'd love to see if other urban fantasy fans feel the same.

Looks interesting and very cool cover.

Even though I am reading this in another group, I am going to suggest The Golem and the Jinni by Helene Wecker here, because it is an excellent debut novel that I think everyone should know about. It might not be typical Urban Fantasy, but I think it still would qualify for this group. It takes place in New York in 1898 and the leading characters are Golem from Poland and a Jinni from Syria.

Jalilah, Great suggestion, that's on my TBRS(oon) list.

Can someone answer Veronica G. I'm sure there was such a list somewhere.

I read this a few months back and really enjoyed it too.

How about Epic:Legacy by Justin Osbourne? It is a great read. It has some really funny laugh-out-loud moments.

I'm not sure this qualifies exactly as urban fantasy, not quite sure what else to call it, but some of you can take a quick look and see what you think. Set in London, police procedural (sort of) with magic plus science and a department that handles the cases with a magic. A touch of magic, a couple of vampires, a troll ... different.

I just read that one - I would definitely classify it as UF. Just my 2 cents.

Loved this one too!!! I've read all of them!

Created, the Destroyer

Not normally considered UF but here's the deal. Over the series 150 or so books it develops a mythology all its own.

Long story short Remo Williams unwillingly becomes the next in a long line of assassins who practice Sinanju the sun source from where all other martial arts have sprung from.

During it's run Remo fights primarily other humans but also plenty of undead, vampires, living computers, Gods, genetically cloned just about everything and of course several varities of Nazi's.

Oh, and did I mention that he is the living avatar of the god Shiva, The Destroyer?

The first time I read the Harry Dresden books I liked them so much because they reminded me of this series.

All of this comes with a few warning.
1. The series is very dated and VERY politically incorrect and will not be for everyone.
2. The first book in the series is no where near as cool or as much fun as everything else. The books really start to take off in the late teens and 20's.

You may want to check out my review of the series here to see if you have any further interest!

Midnight Riot does look good.

I agree with tasha on the "the accidental demon slayer"

Charming by elliott james

Vamped by David Sosnowski
