I'm on an urban fantasy kick this season--and am thoroughly enjoying my alternate reality escapism with strong characters, neat mixes of various mythologies, and interesting mysteries. Here are my three faves so far: C.E. Murphy's Walker Papers series (Urban Shaman, Thunderbird Falls and Coyote Dreams)--mix of Celtic and Native American mythology Kelly Gay's Better Part of Darkness (imagine NCIS with a female Gibbs, in an alternate reality set in Atlanta, GA, after other dimensions have gone public) Ilona Andrews' Kate Daniels series (Magic Bites, Magic Burns. . .)--shapershifters, vampires (as vehicles for masters of the undead), knights and police--all working in a world where magic is trying to come back and "hits" with interesting effects on technology and life in our tech-dependent time Ronda http://thebookdragon.blogspot.com http://hardinvalleyes.knoxschools.org (then click on "Library Media Center) Check out my books on Goodreads: <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/profile/thebookdragon?utm_source=email_widget">http://www.goodreads.com/profile/thebookdragon</a> -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
