I was talking with a friend through email a while ago about Urban Fantasy books and we were discussing how they are almost always a series and never a finished one! Sometimes an Urban Fantasy series goes on well past its’ prime (I’m looking at you Laurell K Hamilton) but mostly we celebrate not having to let go of our favorite characters and move on to something new. We UF lovers are all so dysfunctional that we love the torture of a good cliffhanger or a long drawn out plot line.

Yet, I can’t be alone in that sometimes I wish I had a series I could read start to finish and be done with it, completed. Right now to get that closure I have to jump genres to paranormal romance or contemporary romance, but why can’t we have that in Urban Fantasy? Surely there are some well written series that aren’t never ending? Looking through my Goodreads lists I did find three Urban Fantasy series that are finishing up this year.

Rachel Caine’s Weather Wardens

Book 9 is releasing on August 3rd and will be the last one. While I will miss Jo and David, it feels like the right time to say goodbye. Jo has been put through hell and back over and over again, she deserves a little quiet time

Keri Arthur’s Riley Jenson

Book 9, Moon Sworn, released May 25th and marked the end of Riley Jenson’s story. These are technically Urban Fantasy but they lean pretty heavily toward Paranormal Romance in my opinion, lots of explicit sex in many of them.

Jenna Black’s Morgan Kingsley

The last book, The Devil’s Playground, released March 23rd but I believe it was ended by the publisher, not because the author was finished with the series. Because of that I don’t know how much closure there is… I haven’t gotten around to reading the last book yet.

So, can you help me out? Do you know of any completed urban fantasy series we must read??
