So many great possibilities :) But I'll just give a few. October Daye series
Alex Craft series
Cassie Palmer and Dorina Basarab series
Sabina Kane series
Rosemary and Rue frustrated me in her lacking investigative skills. Love the world and characters but he is more nuts and bolts of the investigation. Been pointed to the Alex Craft series so I'll have to check that out. Cassie Palmer, on my TBR forever, I'll push it up. Has a character with his name, Mircea. :-)
I really like the Prospero's War series of Jaye Wells so that might work too.
Thanks for those.
Elemental Assassins I liked for a few books and then felt like I was reading the same book almost in plot and was disappointed with the love interest falling apart. I don't know how he would like that.
How about a male protagonist. I was thinking Cal and Nico Leandros series. Is that a good guy series? By looking at all my series, I realize I have a big lack in male protagonists.

Scifi would work too. He really liked the Honor Harrington series of David Weber,
. Still a female protagonist.

"I definitely read a lot more female protagonists as well, but I read the first book in the Alex Verus series recently and enjoyed it:
. It was short but I thought a decent beginning to a UF series, I plan on continuing them in the future.Another series I've really enjoyed with a male protagonist is the Watch series, translated from Russian:
Nightwatch, that is a new one for me. I'll look into that. I like that Alex Verus is pushed, I'm going to move that up too.
So right now I'm putting
on the next shelf and these look interesting too.
I've put Nightwatch on my TBR pile too though I'll have to get a copy first.

Ilona Andrew, he has done them all but the Innkeepers.
Codex Alera sounds up his alley as it is more fantasy than UF.
Dresden and Nightside are on the gritty morose, self blame side. I like Dresden but can only take him in short shot of maybe 2 books at a time. Nightside just didn't click with me. I would try Dresden first with him and see. I asked and he hasn't read it yet, or didn't remember but I doubt you would forget Dresden completely. :-)
