Stray
question
Are there any Urban-Fantasy books with 20 to 25 year old protagonists?

Okay so I'm 21, and as much as I still love reading YA, I'm also starting to get a little tired of 16/17 year old characters. When you get past the teenage stage, teenagers actually start to get quite annoying, haha!
So I'm hoping someone can recommend a good series with characters around my age. I've read all of the Stray books by Rachel Vincent, I've read Sabina Kane and am currently reading the God Save The Queen series by Kate Locke, but I think the last two series have characters in their late 20's early 30's.
I just don't understand why it's so hard to find books in these genre's, also the kind of genre for City of Bones or Throne of Glass, with characters in their early 20's.
So yeah, if anyone knows what I'm talking about and has a really good series to recommend, that would be awesome! XD

Richelle Mead is a really good urban fantasy writer. You should try read the Georgina Kincaid series:
or her Dark Swan series:
. It's not YA but the protagonists are in their twenties. So check it out :)

hi i have had the same problem, but I have found a variety ^^ you have to try:
- mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs
- the weather warden series by Rachel caine
- women of the otherworld by Kelly Armstrong
- black swan rising by lee carrol
- Morganville vampires by Rachel caine (has a variety of age from 17-20)
they are the best I can recommend!!!

they are the best I can recommend!!!
(large age range of characters)
(first book isn't to good but the series does get better)
not all the characters are in their 20's but they are still good and far more mature than YA. if you strictly want characters in their 20's have a look for New Adult Urban Fantasy.
also have a look through this list http://www.goodreads.com/list/show/90...
There are lots of great authors and series!
The Hollows by Kim Harrison
Women of the Underworld by Kelley Armstrong
Mercy Thompson by Patricia Briggs
Alpha and Omega by Patricia Briggs
Sookie Stackhouse by Charlaine Harris
I also liked the Anita Blake books by Laurell K Hamilton (but some of the books get to be a bit much with the sex scenes!!)
And did you read the Unbound trilogy by Rachel Vincent? They are great books!
