I think kim Harrison’s series has some snark like The Dresden Files.

I love the snark. Unfortunately, I have read and loved most if not all of Kim Harrison.

Charles De Lint

I second the De Lint motion!

I haven’t read anything by him yet. What books do you recommend?

Joe, start with my favorite, Moonheart; but they are all excellent.

I like his short story collections – Dreams Underfoot and Moonlight & Vines come to mind.

Me too! Any book with the Crow Girls.

Rivers series by Ben Aaronivictch.

Second this series!

And I agree!

The Iron Druid Chronicles by Kevin Hearne

Loved them

This.

Alex Verus series by Benedict Jacka

Kate Daniels by Ilona Andrews is my favorite UF

Second. Have you read iron and magic yet? Whoa.

Right?! I almost skipped it because I thought he was an irredeemable character but I should have know they could do it.

My feelings are soooo mixed right now!

+1 for Alex Versus series. It’s similar in some ways to Dresden and both are great series.

Dirty Streets of Heaven by Tad Williams – the start of the Bobby Dollar series

I really enjoyed the Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Claire if you don’t mind YA.

Richard Kadrey’s Sandman Slim series and F. Paul Wilson’s Repairman Jack series. I keep dropping these titles and ya’ll are no doubt sick of it but I love them so much I will continue to recommend them when the question arises.

The Uglies series: Uglies, Pretties, Specials, Extras…by Scott Westerfeld maybe?
