   Fool Moon por Jim Butcher (Siesser)

   Something from the Nightside por Simon R. Green (amberwitch, plutoempress, lookitisheef, DovSherman)

   amberwitch: A tough P.I. with a number of convenient talents making a living and trying to uncover the secrets of his own origin in the magical Nightside of London.

   plutoempress: similar style, though i (and this is my opinion) find john taylor funnier than harry dresden.

   lookitisheef: Jim Butcher and Simon R. Green both have created great supernatural male-lead detective series. I think they provide a nice balance to the girls-kick-butt series out there...don't get me wrong, I love the work of Kim Harrison and Laurell K. Hamilton (to name a couple), but it's nice to see that authors can create plausible male leads in the supernatural fiction world, too.… (mais)

   Rivers of London por Ben Aaronovitch (majkia)

   majkia: both involve paranormal mystery and smart-ass dialog.

4. 100
   Hounded por Kevin Hearne (clif_hiker, al.vick)
5. 113
   Dead Witch Walking por Kim Harrison (cjacklen)

   cjacklen: A crime-fighting witch quits her job to become a PI. Faster pace and more addictive than than "Storm Front".

   Neverwhere por Neil Gaiman (Polenth)
7. 71
   Night Watch por Sergei Lukyanenko (FFortuna)
8. 71
   The Man With The Golden Torc por Simon R. Green (dmacmillan, Scottneumann)

   dmacmillan: Similar in tone to Butcher's Dresden Files but bigger in scope and with perhaps an even wilder storyline.

   Libriomancer por Jim C. Hines (kqueue)

   kqueue: I found many similarities between Isaac Vainio and Harry Dresden. Both are cynical, powerful, heroes with a dark sense of humor, who are on the fringes of their official organization but are called in to save the day. Both books feature many mythical creatures, and have a good versus evil theme in a fast-paced adventure.… (mais)

    Thicker Than Water (Felix Castor) por Mike Carey (BeckyJG)

    Fables, Vol. 01: Legends in Exile por Bill Willingham (FFortuna)
12. 31
    The Devil You Know por Mike Carey (amberwitch, TheLibraryhag)

    amberwitch: Same noir feel, more interesting first person narrator. Lovely London descriptions.

13. 30
    Nightlife por Rob Thurman (gluestick)

    gluestick: Brothers Cal & Niko Leandros battle monsters while on the run from Auphe.Doesn't help that Cal is half Auphe.

    The Tomb por F. Paul Wilson (Scottneumann)
15. 31
    A Madness of Angels por Kate Griffin (amberwitch, questionablepotato, mysterymax)

    mysterymax: Anyone who enjoys the Dresden File series would, I think enjoy the Matthew Swift books.

    Sweet Silver Blues por Glen Cook (MyriadBooks)

    Monster por A. Lee Martinez (smammers)

    smammers: If you enjoy urban fantasy with a healthy dose of sarcastic humor thrown in, you'll love these books!

18. 20
    John Constantine, Hellblazer: Dangerous Habits por Garth Ennis (Cynara)

    Cynara: I think Harry Dresden may be a distant, nicer relation of Hellblazer's John Constantine.

    Magic Bites por Ilona Andrews (Strict31)

    Strict31: Lotta "urban fantasy" books out there. So many that simply stick to a formula. I was jonesin' hard for some Dresden when I stumbled across the Kate Daniels series. Like Dresden, it's a rare gem among a drawer filled with common stones. Kate doesn't spend her time on her back or pining for super-handsome creatures of the night. And she's not just an action surrogate for a male hero. There is action and there is romance. But it all fits. The series was not created to serve the needs of a genre, but rather, the needs of the character. It's a different type of storyline than Dresden, because the world has been irrevocably changed by the existence of magic. But a lot of the things I go to Dresden to get are also found here.… (mais)
