Jacqueline Carey, who wrote the Kushiel and Namah series, has a new book out that's very different, but terrific: "Dark Currents."

Mostly involves all different kinds of Fae, with some vamps and shifters, and a spunky young heroine.

It's set in current-day US, in a small town with great Fae activity. The heroine is half-human, half-other.

The worst part about it is the cover. It looks like it should be some YA romance, but it's actually excellent contemporary fantasy. Best part is, it appears to be the first with more to come.

Thanks Betty. I really have been enjoying her other series (Kushiel) and have all the other books (Namah).

will have to add it to my list :)
