After reading through the Karen Chance series, I wasn't quite fininshed with the Urban Fiction genre.  I started re-reading the Rachel Morgan series by Kim Harrison. It's about  another kick-ass female dealing with the supernatural community. In this series, Rachel is a witch, living with a vamp and a pixy.  Throw in the elves, the weres, and the demons and it's kind of like Disney on steroids. Its wonderful. Rachel continually gets in tight spots that she somehow manages to work her way out of, usually with the help of her friends (and sometimes her enemies too). The first book wasn't such a great re-read because I knew all of the surprises already that helped bind it together, but the story continually develops and keeps you up at night reading.  I only got four books in before I decided I needed to take a break. This was because I felt that I needed some new books to discuss at the book group and there are about 10 books in this series. I will pick it up at #5 in the near future.

Did I mention that a strand of genetically engineered tomatoes killed off half the human population and that the supernatural community came out of the closet?

Here is the synopsis from bn.com for the first book, Dead Witch Walking:

Set in and around an alternate Cincinnati where Inderlanders (witches, vampires, werewolves, faeries, etc.) have officially been recognized, the novel begins with Harrison's leather-loving hero, Rachel Morgan, quitting her job as a runner (a kind of supernatural bounty hunter) for Inderland Security. The only problem is that no one walks away from Inderland Security -- and lives. Her boss, an ill-tempered ghoul named Denon, immediately puts out a contract on her, and within a matter of hours, her life is officially forfeit. She finds herself evicted from her apartment and almost assassinated on a city bus.

Thank God for friends. With the help of Ivy Tamwood, a non-practicing vampire, and Jenks, a temperamental pixie, Rachel tries to begin a new life by starting an independent investigation service based in an old church in an area called the Hollows. But first she must survive the week!
