Kings of the Wyld. It’s about an over-the-hill mercenary group that are like literal rockstars in their world. It’s amazing!

They’re still in their prime of ass kicking, I meant over the hill in the same way that 90’s bands are considered old school now.

Rivers of London and the others in the series by Ben Arronovitch. The novel centres around the adventures of Peter Grant, a young officer in the Metropolitan Police; who, following an unexpected encounter with a ghost, is recruited into the small branch of the Met that deals with magic and the supernatural

They are really good and accurate to real locations in London. There is also a graphic novel series too which is good 🙂

I just started reading Hexed. So far, the Iron Druid Chronicles is a good series even though I am not a fan of urban fantasy

I don’t read a huge amount of UF to be honest, because I find most are just the same stories rolled out again and again and again… but finding a series like the Iron Druid Chronicles, which does something complete different, does make me keep trying 🙂
