Hello and welcome to this months recommendation post!
This month’s recommendation topic is Urban Fantasy, one of my favorite genres.
I should start with stating my definition of urban fantasy because I know people view it differently.
Urban fantasy is a mesh of different genres, mainly paranormal and fantasy, with the same main hero or heroine throughout the series. There isn’t necessarily romance, but if there is it usually develops over the progression of the series rather than be concluded at the end of the first book.
Now onto the recommendations!
