I realize that there are a good number of 10 ratings in the Urban Fantasy genre, which means I really, really, really, like those series. But, which do I like the most?

1. Night Huntress series by Jeaniene Frost is in first place.
2. The Hollows / Rachel Morgan series by Kim Harrison is in second place, but barely, because
3. Kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrews is really good, and might possibly beat The Hollows once it has as many books
4. Riley Jensen, Guardian series by Keri Arthur is wonderful and I am looking forward to the next books in the series
5. Meredith Gentry series by Laurell K. Hamilton - what a wonderfully creative view of the Fae
6. Psy-Changelings series by Nalini Singh
7. Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs
8. Sookie Stackhouse / Southern Vampire by Charlaine Harris - this would have been rated higher a few books ago, and it's still a fantastic series, but is no longer at the top of my list.
9. Guild Hunter series by Nalini Singh - a new series that may very well be closer to the top once we get a few more books
10. The Elemental Assassin series by Jennifer Estep is another one that could easily move up the list once there are more books
11. The Black Sun's Daughter series by M.L.N. Hanover is quite promising, and I think the third book will be pivotal in how far this series can continue.
    
12. Twilight Saga by Stephenie Meyer - once upon a time the author talked about writing other books in this series, to tell someone else's story. But she no longer talks about that, so it appears it is now a "dead" series, with no new books forthcoming. It's still a 10 of 10, but without the anticipation of new books, it's hard to place it higher in my ratings.

And then come the 9 ratings, which I'll put in this following order:

13. Anita Blake series by Laurel K. Hamilton
14. Kitty Norville Series by Carrie Vaughn
15. Women of the Otherworld series by Kelley Armstrong
16. Soul Mates series by Jourdan Lane (also listed under Erotica)
17. Succubus Diaries series by Jill Myles
