Fantasy series I enjoy
17
items I read to escape reality, that being said I love the underdog, the antihero, and the unexpected hero in stories. These series have a little of all these things and include magic in all its glory. Yay! There's bound to be something for you to enjoy he...
An Apalachian version of Lovecraftian horror, in a well crafted universe. I loved the entire series!
Half-Made Girls: A Pitchfork County Novel
Another universe that is consistent and an underdog hero that wins in spite of the odds.
To Kill a Unicorn: Lovecraftian Urban Fantasy
Wonderful series that pulls you in and comes to a satisfying end (20 books in the series) and also some characters that go off into their own series. Yay!
Sweet Blood of Mine: Urban Fantasy Action
The characters grow and change and new characters come to the fore, I love a universe that continues to grow and explore itself.
God Touched (The Demon Accords Book 1)
This series features my favorite anti-hero of all time. Sandman Slim is not a good guy...but he's not a bad guy either. He's so much more than I could ever describe here, and his friends and enemies are epic. I am looking forward to the newest in the...
Sandman Slim: A Novel
I resisted reading this series because of assumptions I made and I am proud to say that I overcame those and opened up a universe that I have greatly enjoyed being in. This also has offshoot characters' series - equally enjoyable.
The Immortal Doc Holliday: Hidden (Book 1)
This is a character set from the Immortal Doc Holliday series, and I love it especially since it revolves around 3 generations of very different women in the same family. Their interactions and how they support one another is a joy to read. Don't get...
Three Little Graves & the Big Bad Wolf
Another series with a wonderful universe and strong female characters. <3
My Luck: Urban Fantasy Mystery (Twisted Luck 1)
I probably sound redundant but I do love strong women in main character roles. Plus there's a golem who has a thing for various wigs and hairpieces. How can you go wrong?
Black Hat, White Witch (Black Hat Bureau Book 1)
This series was cool, necromancers and shifters and enough territorial politics to keep you intrigued.
How to Save an Undead Life (Necromancy #1)
I'm surprised no one has tried to make this a series, it is filled with magic, romance, and adventure. Loads of action, great characters. Sigh - I am already casting it in my head...
Dead Witch Walking: Witchy Urban Fantasy Romance
I would be remiss if I forgot to include the Sookie Stackhouse series ("True Blood" was based on this character and the books - loosely. Although I admit, they cast Eric Northman exactly as I pictured him, and Alcide the werewolf, too.)
Dead Until Dark (Sookie Stackhouse Book 1)
This series takes place in an alternate timeline of the US, and is charming as well as filled with action and surprising characters. Imagine wild west, territories not incorporated into the US, but still under the original countries and add magic to ...
An Easy Death (Gunnie Rose Book 1)
This is another of Charlaine Harris' series that was adapted for tv. And while I enjoyed the tv series, I love the books better.
Midnight Crossroad (Midnight, Texas Book 1)
Her brother has been cursed into the shape of a cat, and now she's in a town where she's a suspect in a murder. Plus there's magic and mystery all over the place. A little bit cozy, and a little bit paranormal, and a whole lot of stuff I love in a bo...
Witch Slap (Hollowbeck Paranormal Cozy #1)
Once this Detective Inspector (DI) has stepped across the boundary between normal and supernatural, there is no turning back. The heroine is an avid coffee drinker trying to make it all make sense while upholding the law. The results are harrowing an...
What Happened In London: DI Adams Mystery
Imagine that there are many worlds adjacent to ours and someone has to manage the immigration between them...now add ogres and other magical beings, magic, and a dash of Brit humor, and you'd best have a lot of snacks ready as you settle in to read t...
Fiends In High Places (Hipposync Archives 1)
