I'm several behind on this series, I think there are like 14 books. I should see about getting them on Audible, as I don't really read that much any more.
I dig the comparison of Dresden to Buffy. Popcorn supernatural action with some witty humor.
Forgot to mention I read the first book in The Expanse series, The Leviathan Wakes. This has gained popularity as folks are claiming the show on Sci fi is the next BSG. Altough it's on cable, Netflix is somehow involved with the TV show deal as well.
The first book was definitely worth a read. No spoilers here, but I have to say it almost felt like 2 books. About 3/4 of the way through it takes a hardcore sci fi turn where the book up to that point had been mostly cyberpunk space travel & space military action. Worth looking at for fans of space genres:
These are great so far, about to start the 3rd book. Only watched the first 2 episodes of the show, but stopped as they have some differences, and didnt want to get it muddied up.
