Sorry, I didn't know it had to be in the adult section. I thought it just had to be urban fantasy. My bad.

S'all good, they are decent books and well worth a nod. The OP posted later in the thread that they were looking for adult.

Nothing wrong with tossing some YA or even childrens books on here though and making it a decent list for anyone looking. To that end I would even toss out the Rick Riordan Percy Jackson and the Olympians books which are a fun little read and you can pretty easily get through all four in a day or so. Also I just grabbed Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians by Brandon Sanderson (who I am sure we all know) and just can't stop laughing as I read it, it is really clever.

I loved the first of Diane Duane's Wizard books though I think that they dropped off pretty sharply in terms of quality as the series went on. I know I stopped reading when they found out *spoiler*that whales were wizards too. *spoiler* It was just a little to Star Trek 5 for my tastes, but maybe that's just me.

OK, good. Sorry I didn't see that.

Yeah I thought the Percy Jackson books were pretty good…young but funny.

Not sure if this strictly falls within urban fantasy, but for something a bit different, you might want to try the Detective Inspector Chen novels by Liz Williams: http://www.amazon.com/Snake-Agent-Detective-Inspector-Novels/dp/1597801070/ref=pd_bxgy_b_text_c

It's set in a futuristic Singapore where the Chinese conceptions of heaven and hell are real - and bureaucratic. :)
