Vroom!

I'm always encouraging people to start drag races, and nobody ever does. 

In real news, I've made a big decision about Wild after some excellent feedback and advice from various parties, and I've decided to swop the location from the US to the UK, whilst keeping Lizzie American. It'll be like An American Werewolf in London, except it's not set in London. So really I could equally describe it as being like Ginger Snaps except not set in Canada, or indeed like Romasanta, but not set in medieval Europe.

Anyway, question for my urban fantasy reading bretheren: I'm struggling to find any current UF novels set in the UK - any recommendations?

Mike Carey's Felix Castor novels are current, and set in London. Ditto Simon Green's Nightside novels.

And the new series I have coming out next year is UK-based. ;)

And not to sound like a squealy fangirl, but I'm very excited about that!

I've read the first Felix novel and feel rather ambivalent about it. I don't suppose you've read the second and can offer an opinion?

Sadly, no. I WANTED to like #1 so much more than I did, largely due to the rampant ripping off of Hellblazer.

Hmm, might have to give book 2 a miss then and try the Nightside books again. The first one drove me crazy with all the repetition of the phrase "on the Nightside" but the later books look so cool...

Suzanne McLeod's are set...yes, I think they're in London, though for some reason I have a feeling they might be in Scotland. Because McLeod sounds Scottish. But I'm pretty sure they're set in England. The Sweet Scent of Blood and The Cold Kiss of Death. http://spellcrackers.com

Have a lovely day! :-)
