Today for the Zyanniversary, Zy will pay everyone’s
taxes! Ha, JK. But she would if she could - Zyan would go to Hell and back for
her friends (quite literally). So we’ll talk about some of her friends in this
post. But don’t forget to pop
over to Facebook for the free book of the day and other awesome stuff.
First, my main inspiration for writing urban fantasy:
Laurell K. Hamilton. I devoured the Anita Blake books as a teen, or rather, the
first eight or so. They got a bit dark for me after that, but I’ll never forget
those first few and how addictive they were. That blend of the supernatural
with danger and a bit of humor… good stuff.
Another great urban fantasy series with a refreshingly
unique premise is the Totem Series by my friend Christine Rains. Set in Alaska,
the series follow three bear shifter sisters on their hunt to find missing
magical totems. The series is full of Inuit legend and mythos, and it’s a super
fun read.
More on the paranormal romance side is the Cloaked Series
by another friend, T.F Walsh. It’s about werewolves (called Wulkfin) and has a
fun European flare to the traditional wolf story. Plus, it’s way steamy!
Definitely a good one to get the blood racing J
If genies are more your thing, check out the Once Upon a
Djinn series by B.E. Sanderson. Featuring a snarky genie whose personal mission
is to free enslaved genies, it’s a fun read. A bit of romance, lots of good
humor and action. Check it out!
What are your fave urban fantasy or PNR reads?
