Pros

  • I've finished all the Alex Verus books and its one of my favorite urban fantasy series.
  • Alex Verus series is truly underrated. Less showy but still has every ingredient needed for a proper UF.
  • enjoying all 3 of those series (Fred, Inheritance of Magic, Alex Verus).
  • Alex Verus by Benedict Jacka
  • You've written two incredible series with Alex Verus and Inheritance of Magic.

Cons

  • The series is very similar to the Dresden Files if that helps. I found it enjoyable at first but didn't really like where it went around book 4ish.

I really enjoyed the first novel and it is my favourite so far, and I really liked how the chemistry (romantically) between Alex and Luna was built in the first book
