Thought it might be interesting to share what you consider your favorite Urban Fantasy series with each other if anyone else reads them. If you don't know Urban Fantasy takes traditionally 'Fantasy' elements either vampires, werewolves, fairies, whatever mythological creature you want to modernize; and places them in a modern landscape having to deal with modern problems and life.
My favorite series and author would likely be Kelley Armstrong and her Otherworld Series which starts with Bitten. Very good story about a unwillingly turned werewolf trying to deal with life and distance herself from those who turned her and how much she can or can't do so. Nicely written and nicely paced and starts off the rest of said series. Can get a view into that series with this piece which is up for free online and also can see a comic book telling of her right after being bitten here. All in all quite like this series it introduces a lot of great characters and protagonist and does a very nice job of making monsters and such likable and interesting characters and but for one or two characters introduced there's no one that makes me grate my teeth while reading about.
Second favorite series and author would likely be Seanan McGuire and her October Daye series. Very nicely written stuff dealing with a faerie changeling protagonist. Does a awesome job with mythology and retelling of traditional and darker and also light fairy mythology into a modern context. Very much worth a read.
So anyone else have any other series they particularly enjoy? I know LawOhki/Lawra mentioned and recommended to me the Sookie Stackhouse/Southern Vampire Mysteries/True Blood series, and while I enjoyed bits of that didn't really capture my interest like the other two series I listed. Also one of the more popular and well known examples the Dresden Files always bored me just didn't capture my interest. If you have some others to recommend by all means do so would be interested to see.
