Do You Like the Dresden Files?
Here are five series recommendations if you like the Dresden Files by Jim Butcher. 1.Alex Verus by Benedict Jacka -I think Harry Dresden would like Alex Verus. The Alex Verus series is a really good series to try if you like the Dresden Files because they are similar stories. In fact, they are so similar in concept that Jacka gives a nod to Harry Dresden in the first book of the series by referencing a wizard who advertises under the yellow pages. In this series, Alex Verus is a wizard who uses his magic to see into the future. He runs a magic shop in London, and even though he…

Grave Secrets
by Alice James Recommend Toni Windsor would say that raising the dead is easy while dating a vampire is not, especially because it costs a lot of dresses. However, it does give her an excuse to go shopping. Just don’t tell anyone she raises the dead. It’s supposed to be a secret. When I first picked up Grave Secrets by Alice James I expected it to be a fun quick read with some zombie raising, some romance, and some mystery. Well, it is a fun quick read with some zombies, mystery, and romance in it. Except, none of it was what I expected based on other books I have read…

Top Recommendations of Fantasy TV Shows
#1. Game of Thrones Game of Thrones is an HBO show based on George R.R. Martin’s series A Song of Ice and Fire. It tells the story of greed and war as several parties wish to own the iron throne and leadership over Westeros. Some are involved in order to win while others are caught up in the events merely by being in the vicinity. At any moment one’s political motivations could send them toward their goal or throw them to the wolves. This TV show is excellent in many ways. It is excellent in quality, script, acting, and story. It has a very complicated storyline with many different threads…

Top 5 High Fantasy Series
#1. Codex Alera by Jim Butcher This series focuses on a boy named Tavi who is very unique in this world. He has no control over any types of furies (elementals of earth, fire, water, air, and metal). Instead, he has to overcome the problems that happen around him without any power, and as he branches out into the world, he discovers where destiny leads him and what his true potential can be. I love this series so much because of how unique it is. I, personally, haven’t read many other novels that incorporate nature manipulation as the main form of magic in the world, and I also like the…
