Fun Urban Fantasy Reads!

I’ve loved my foray into Urban Fantasy, and the Hall of Blood and Mercy series! I have one last blog post about the trilogy to post this week–it’s actually an announcement of sorts, but to keep you occupied until then, I have a big list of recommended urban fantasy reads for you!

A huge thank you to my Facebook Champions who helped put this list together! It’s a pretty wide list that includes books in Kindle Unlimited and books that you should be able to borrow from your local library, so there should be something for everyone!

Please note: I haven’t read all of these books, and they do vary a lot on language and level of romance heat, so make sure you check out the reviews so you don’t end up with something you’re not comfortable with!

My Top Picks:

City Between by W. R. Gingell: This isn’t going to come to as a surprise to many of you, but I ADORE this series! It has tricky fae, vain vampires, twisty worlds, witty dialogue, action, and more. It’s so, so good! If you haven’t picked it up yet, you need to. NOW!

Mercy Thompson by Patricia Briggs: This series is the classic, quintessential urban fantasy series! Mercy Thompson is smart, kick-butt, and is pals with some of the baddest werewolves in town. Check this out if you want a masterfully told, classic! (Warning, there is some strong language!)

1-800-Where-R-U by Meg Cabot: This series squeaks the line of urban fantasy–it’s technically more supernatural–but if you want a hilarious/ laugh out loud YA series with mystery and adventure, this series is for you. (For more of an UF flare you could check out Cabot’s “The Mediator,” But 1-800-Where-R-U is funnier. Just sayin’!)

Hall of Blood and Mercy by K. M. Shea: Vampires, wizards, and fae, oh my! This trilogy follows the scrappy wizard, Hazel Medeis, and her misadventures as she gets kicked out of her house and moves in with a pack of vampires. (And yes, I’m just cheeky enough to plug my own series, buwahah.)
