Abhiram T S | 2 comments Hey guys,
I have read the Dresden Files series and have been looking for a similar book since then. Can anyone suggest me some books. Thank you.


Shera (Book Whispers) (sherabookwhispers) | 204 comments Hounded (The Iron Druid Chronicles, #1) by Kevin Hearne Hexed (The Iron Druid Chronicles, #2) by Kevin Hearne Hammered (The Iron Druid Chronicles, #3) by Kevin Hearne Tricked (The Iron Druid Chronicles, #4) by Kevin Hearne Trapped (The Iron Druid Chronicles, #5) by Kevin Hearne Hunted (The Iron Druid Chronicles, #6) by Kevin Hearne Shattered (The Iron Druid Chronicles, #7) by Kevin Hearne Staked (The Iron Druid Chronicles, #8) by Kevin Hearne Scourged (The Iron Druid Chronicles, #9) by Kevin Hearne

I think this series kind of has the same vibe.

Other similar series:
October Daye series, by Seanan McGuire - Rosemary and Rue
Rivers of London series, by Ben Aaronovitch - Midnight Riot
Scarlett Bernard series, by Melissa Olson - Dead Spots

Jordan Perks (jordanperks) I second the Iron Druid Chronicles that Shera suggested. I also recommend the Demon Accords series, Sandman Slim series and the Temple Chronicles.

Amyiw | 86 comments What I think is most similar to Dresden
Fated (Alex Verus, #1) by Benedict Jacka Cursed (Alex Verus, #2) by Benedict Jacka etc..
Alex Verus by Benedict Jacka
Clean (Mindspace Investigations, #1) by Alex Hughes Sharp (Mindspace Investigations, #2) by Alex Hughes Vacant (Mindspace Investigations, #4) by Alex Hughes , etc..
Mindspace Investigations by Alex Hughes
Charming (Pax Arcana, #1) by Elliott James Daring (Pax Arcana, #2) by Elliott James etc..
Pax Aracana by Elliott James

Rivers of London is really good from above too.

Iron Druid I would call Dresden light (and humorous)
Sandman Slim is Dresden dark (also humorous)
If you like both of these you would probably love
Imp Series by Debra Dunbar, anti-hero, both light and dark (humorous)

If you just want great UF Patricia Briggs, and Ilona Andrews are on the top of most everyone's lists.

Obskura3 | 21 comments Try Monster Hunter International, Demon Accords, Caulborn series, and the Hellequin chronicles


message 8: by Jordan (new)

Jordan Perks (jordanperks) Have you taken a look at Sandman Slim by Richard Kadrey? That is my all-time favorite.

Colin Burgess (colincarvalhoburgess) | 2 comments Hi Nandhu, might I be so bold as to suggest you check out my novel, The Tetris Effect.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3...

It's a reluctant coming-of-age story, featuring ancient immortals, a mischievous Tengu, and a trippy journey into the afterlife. Be great to hear what you think. Col

Amyiw | 86 comments Coming of age is NOT similar to Dresden and one comment on the boards. Not good etiquette.

Colin Burgess (colincarvalhoburgess) | 2 comments Have a read of the preview Amyiw?

Jennifer Blackstream (jenniferblackstream) | 12 comments I'd highly recommend SM Reine's Preternatural Affairs series Witch Hunt. The hero is self-depreciative like Dresden, and it has a mystery, case-style format. It's quirky like Dresden too. For instance, the hero is Cesar, and magic makes him sneeze. It's very good.
