Paranormal Romance & Urban Fantasy discussion

I am desperately looking for recommendations similar to T.A. White's Rules of Redemption or Ilona Andrews Hidden Legacy series. I have read many of the most popular and well loved PNR/UF series but have had such a hard time finding anything new with solid plot, magic system and character development. Please share your recs!!

Author Patricia Briggs, Mercy Thompson series or the spin off Alpha and Omega series.

I second the recommendation of Patricia Brigg's Mercy universe. Moon Calledand On the Prowl(<-just the Alpha and Omega story)
I also enjoy Thea Harrison's stuff Dragon Bound
I've recently discovered Annette Marie's writing too The One and Only Crystal Druid and finished this series. I plan to start the main series that it is a spin off from.
I would recommend Ilona Andrews Innkeeper series too Clean Sweep, it's a bit of a spin off from her Edge series (also awesome but even more action packed which can get tiring.)

Thank you for the recs! I have the first innkeeper book and haven't read yet. I have not heard of Annette Marie or Thea Harrison and will definitely check those out!!

I own every Thea Harrison book she ever wrote (that I know of). Older favorites (who are no longer writing) are: Debora Geary (last book 2014), Annie Bellet (last book 2022), Deborah Blake (last book 2022), N. E. Conneely (last book 2016).

Give Rachel Bach a try - trilogy/space - start with Fortune's Pawn.

Also space (though grittier than T.A White) try Tanya Huff's 8 (?) book series - start with Valor's Choice . Great heroine.

Okay - more Hidden Legacy - family/magic type recommendations:

Try Jane Cousins - Her southern sanctuary series is a hoot (14 books so far) great eccentric magic family & the romances are sizzling. Start with To Woo A Warrior.

Or go with her other PNR series about Valkyries - and start with - What's Up, Buttercup?


Shelly Laurenston also does great family-centric PNR with a shifter edge. Start with Mane Event amusing along with wonderful world building and romances

Same goes for her alter ego - G.A Aiken. Major world building around family of dragons. Fiesty fun.

All of the above are excellent - can't go wrong

Meghan Ciana Doidge
KF Breene
Hailey Edwards
Annette Marie
Patricia Briggs
Molly Harper
Jeaniene Frost
Faith Hunter
Ella Summers

There's a few more. but these are the ones I can think of right now. Feel free to add me as a friend and check out my books if you want to.
