Urban Fantasy discussion

I will just cut straight to the chase...I'm looking for something with angels...kinda like The Prophecy, the movie with Christopher Walken...something along those lines... Anyone have any suggestions?

many thanks!

Most of the stuff I read is a little bit lighter, but a librarian friend of mine, who I get a lot of urban fantasy recommendations from, has a great blog with horror and thriller reviews, if you're interested: http://theundeadrat.com/ You could ask him your specific question there, too, he'll definitely have ideas for you.

G, sorry haven't seen 'The Prophecy' but I take it you want bad/dangerous angels.

If so, Nalini Singh's Guild Hunter series would fit, first 2 books are .

ummm there is Fallen, Hush Hush and Angel. Also City of Bones has angels in it but it also has vampires, werewolves, warlocks and other creatures. Hoped i help!

i agree with shayne

Fallen

Hush Hush

City of Bones


There is also the Immortal Series by Allyson Noel


I enjoyed all of them alot

I absolutely LOVED EVERMORE, but thought BLUE MOON was pretty bad, and SHADOWLAND was a complete waste of my valuable reading time!

true the books are going kinda down hill but maybe the next one will be better!

hmm see shadowland gets released here in the UK in the next few weeks and then it is followed by dark flame.....i was hopin it wouldnt be like that...oh well we will soon see hehe

I do hope Dark Flam makes up for it then if shadwland wasn't that good

my bloggy

soz if we umm ruined shadowland for you Ayesha

Hey no problimo Shayne...i have a very open mind i'll read it and see what happens....i may find something i enjoy even if it is only a few parts

ok :D

A kiss before the apocalypse.

I'm really into angels too. I haven't read these yet but I've got the Deepgate Codex series (Alan Campbell), Angelology (Danielle Trussoni), the Angel Star series (Jennifer Murgia), Black Wings (Christina Henry), Murder Mysteries (Neil Gaiman), the Songs of the Seraphim series (Anne Rice), Angel of Death (Karen Dales), the Guild Hunter series (Nalini Singh), Dannan Frost Falls from Grace (Joanne Valiukas) and a few others on my to-read list.

J.R. Ward fallen angels series is really good first book to the series is covet and then crave I'm not sure when the next one comes out.

I am not into the angels thing, except for Thomas Sniegoski's A Kiss Before the Apocalypse and the other books about Remy Chandler. He's a Boston PI and he works with a policeman, but the only apocalypse is is in the title. It's a lot like Raymond Chandler & Dashiele Hammet, except for the angel thing...

oooooo I know what you would like. Realms of Shadow by Barry James!

Oh wait. I haven't finished writing it yet. ;)

But maybe next year!

My old buddy, William Maxwell, has a horror/ fantasy thriller coming out that has angels. It's called Shadowpath. I think it should be out in a few months.

The Remy Chandler series by Thomas E. Sniegoski is top notch!

Hello! I just started reading Blood and Feathers by Lou Morgan which deals with the war between heaven and hell, the fallen and angels..it's an urban fantasy and so far I like it a lot ( though I'm not that far :) ) I loved the prophecy series so I hope this helps!

is the second book, out this month, in the Company of Angels miniseries.

The first book is

I very much enjoyed Blood and Feathers by Lou Morgan which is recently released in the UK. I'm not familiar with the film you mention so can't compare with that, though.

Hope that works for you.

Okay, now that someone finally reminded me of the title of this book, I'll recommend Archangel. It's not a traditional UF, but it is an amazing book. Kind of sci fi meets fantasy with angels.

I second and third the recs for and and would throw in

I recently read Linda Poitevin's Sins of the Angels and Sins of the Sons, two of her Grigori Legacy books. She puts an interesting spin on angel mythology and throws a strong female lead in to keep you on the edge of your seat.

I am suprised not find mentioned
and the prequel

The third book is coming out end of december.

The best one I've read is Daughter of Smoke & Bone The new book should be out soon!
