I use to read loads of straight fantasy books and I love paranormals so I must get my act together. Oh, actually, I just read Happy Hour of the Damned which I think might count as UF. Anyway, I liked that so it's a good start!! I haven’t really read any so I must correct that! I use to read loads of straight fantasy books and I love paranormals so I must get my act together.

Though it depends ... I'm strange what can I say. Only CERTAIN books grab me. Course I like Sci Fi and Manga and all that stuff. Weird that's me :mrgreen: Oh yeah I love Urban fantasy.

You might have read them? As I said there's lots of cross-over and if like me you enjoy reading lots of difference genres, it's great! Jane and Estella, Laurel K Hamilton’s books are urban fantasy.

Is Lynn Viehl's Darkyn series urban fantasy, paranormal romance, dark fantasy, or alternate historical fiction (ok, I don't think the latter has ever been applied to the series, but I think it fulfills the What If prerequisite quite nicely). Or Wen Spencer's Tinker - it has SciFi and Fantasy elements with some urban mixed in, and a romance as well. Tam Siler Jones' Dubric mysteries are another candidate for confusion, forensic thrillers in a Fantasy setting with magic and steampunk technologiy, and very gritty. An my Kings and Rebels is best defined as an epic alternate historical fiction fantasy with sword and sorcery elements. :smile: I like the new ways that open to readers and writers with all that genre bending going on.
