    B00M9WCUOQ.01.LZZZZZZZ.jpg Some Urban Fantasy / Shifter Romance ...

    Gamer. Nerd. Sorceress.

    Jade Crow lives a quiet life running her comic book and game store in Wylde, Idaho. After twenty-five years fleeing from a powerful sorcerer who wants to eat her heart and take her powers, quiet suits her just fine. Surrounded by friends who are even less human than she is, Jade figures she's finally safe.

    As long as she doesn't use her magic.

    When dark powers threaten her friends' lives, a sexy shape-shifter enforcer shows up. He's the shifter world's judge, jury, and executioner rolled into one, and he thinks Jade is to blame. To clear her name, save her friends, and stop the villain, she'll have to use her wits... and her sorceress powers.

    Except Jade knows that as soon as she does, a far deadlier nemesis awaits.

    Justice Calling is the first book in the USA Today Bestselling The Twenty-Sided Sorceress urban fantasy series. Readers who enjoyed The Dresden Files or The Iron Druid Chronicles will likely enjoy this series.

    This is a great series. There's no doubt but that the author has played a lot of RPGs because of all of the references and game mechanics she references in the series. I've read like the first 3 in the series. I should get back to them at some point.

    Great. I read a lot of UF, too. Thanks for the recommendation.

    Urban Fantasy covers throw me off sometimes. I look at the cover and I wonder if it's being marketed to me or a 12 year old boy with raging hormones. But if some of you have read it and liked it I'll check it out.

    Nah, not to a 12 year old boy. There is romance in the series, but it feels like romance that's written for women. The main charaacter is female, competent, and well-schooled in Dungeons and Dragons, comic books, and various other nerd type things... okay, maybe that part was written for 12 year old boys. However, it doesn't have the gratuitous three paragraph descriptions of the character's cleavage or things like that which I associate with the kind of book I think you're talking about. Actually, now that I think about it, I think @Larakel might enjoy this series based off of her statement about liking books with strong female characters.

    Let me know if you enjoy it or if I'm way off base with my recommendation.

    I remember reading this book, but, I think it was a bit ago. It was an entertaining read.
