I don‘t know if #recommendsday is still a thing here, but I sure could use some recommendations. I‘ve been reading the Innkeeper Chronicles by Ilona Andrews and really liking it. I‘m wondering if any #Littens have other urban fantasy suggestions. The fewer vampires the better (if that even exists.)
Scochrane26 I just read A Touch of Darkness, which I think is considered urban fantasy. If you don‘t mind some spice that‘s more on erotica side, it was good. 1mo
Sace It sounds interesting! Thanks! 1mo
audraelizabeth You could try the mercy thompson series. 1mo

Leniverse I second the Mercy Thompson series. There are some vampires there, but they are side characters. Also "Rivers of London". I don't recall any vampires in those, and they are amazing on audio if that's your thing at all. 1mo
Luke-XVX I‘m currently reading the 1st book in the Sandman Slim series, only 60 pages in and no vampires so far…. 1mo
5feet.of.fury Ilona Andrews has been some of my favorite urban fantasy, if you haven‘t read Burn for Me I‘d suggest that! 1mo
5feet.of.fury And I‘ll add another rec for Mercy Thompson, I‘m not caught up, but I keep meaning to get back to it, loved the early books! 1mo
Sace @Leniverse I‘ve had the Rivers of London on my shelf forever! @audraelizabeth Thanks! And my library has it available on audio! 1mo
Sace @5feet.of.fury Burn For Me recently caught my attention. Thanks! 1mo
Sace @Luke-XVX Intriguing! 1mo
wanderinglynn Ilona Andrews Kate Daniels series is one of my faves. I also love the Mercy Thompson series & the Alpha & Omega series by Patricia Briggs (1st books Moon Called/Cry Wolf), the Iron Druid series by Kevin Hearne (Hounded), Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris (Dead Until Dark), Dante Valentine series by Lilith Saintcrow (Working for the Devil), Chicagoland Vampires by Chloe Neill (Some Girls Bite) 1mo
wanderinglynn Ghost Hunters Mystery by Victoria Laurie (What‘s a Ghoul to do?), Southern Witch series by Kimberly Frost (Would Be Witch), World of the Lupe by Eileen Wilkes (Tempting Danger) - I have more (this is my favorite fantasy sub-genre). 😀 1mo
Sace @wanderinglynn the Iron Druid and the Southern Witch series sound good! Thanks! 1mo
MeganAnn Echoing all the love for the Mercy Thompson series! I‘m hoping to do a reread of that series sometime later this year. Also one of my favorites is the Hollows series by Kim Harrison (book 1 tagged). It does have some vampires but our main character Rachel is a witch and the world is filled with all kinds of magical creatures including pixies (Jenks, her pixie friend is my favorite), demons, werewolves, elves, etc…![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)
Dead Witch Walking (The Hollows, #1) 1mo
Dead Witch Walking (The Hollows, #1)MeganAnn Another of my favorites is The Bone Season series by Samantha Shannon. No vampires. Shannon creates such a richly detailed & unique alternate London that I find fascinating. Definitely read the author‘s revised 10th anniversary editions released last year as she went through & revised the text to make it the story she wanted to write but wasn‘t a good enough writer to pull off at 19 when it was originally published.The Bone Season: A Novel 1mo
The Bone Season: A NovelMeganAnn @wanderinglynn screenshotting your list so I can look for all the ones I haven‘t read yet! Urban fantasy used to be a favorite genre of mine as well and I‘ve been itching to get back into it recently. 1mo
Sace @MeganAnn thanks for the suggestions! 1mo
willaful I really enjoyed C.E. Murphy's series that begins with Heart of Stone. 1mo
wanderinglynn @MeganAnn totally agree on Kim Harrison‘s Hollows series. And I‘m adding Samantha Shannon to my TBR. 👍🏻 1mo
CoffeeK8 I‘ll second mercy Thomas and the other Ilona Andrews. But I also want to recommend K.M. Shea‘s Magiford Series 4w
Sace @CoffeeK8 Oh it sounds really good! Thanks! 4w
Sace @willaful Ooooo…interesting! 4w
