Just one paranormal romance or urban fantasy....

[nancylebov]

One of my friends has asked which PR or UF he should read if he's just going to read one.

I'm so overloaded on the genre that I don't have a recommendation, so I'm asking you guys.

Please let me know why you're recommending a book-- your favorite? Most typical? Acclaimed as best? Other?

If you pick up this question to ask in your own lj, could you let me know?

I haven't read any of those, so I'll defer to your judgment. My impression had been that "urban fantasy" had started, in recent years, to overlap with "paranormal romance".

I'm told that originally, "urban fantasy" referred to stuff like Fritz Leiber's Lankhmar stories.
