Can you recommend me a Series please

[SilverShadows]

Since having my kindle I've stopped buying "one-off" chick lit books (Jill Mansell, Marion Keyes etc) that I came across in the supermarket and have really got into reading whole series of books.

So far I've managed to do the following;

Janet Evanovich - Stephanie Plum
James Patterson - Womens Murder Club
Kathy Reichs - Brennan
Patricia Cornwall - Scarpetta
Dan Brown - Robert Langdon
James Patterson - Alex Cross
Lee Child - Jack Reacher
Phillip Pullman - Dark Materials
Stephanie Meyer - Twilight
Suzanne Collins - Hunger Games
Rick Riorden - Percy Jackson
Cassandra Clare - Mortal Instruments

As you can see my tastes are mainly either crime, or teen fantasy stuff. I do still like chick lit and I am fond of a bonk-buster.

What would you recommend I look at next please?

I second neffi's suggestion of Ben Aaronovitch's series. Love these books.

They're quite fantasy but Scott Lynch's Lies of Locke Lamora are awfully long incredible once you get into them. Made me laugh and sob

Just going to add in a negative here to the Karin Slaughter books - they're horrific! Well the first two were and I haven't been back to her. Got far too far into my head and stayed there, images I simply don't need in my head ever but now have trouble getting rid of whenever her name crops up. If you don't have that actively pictorial an imagination then you'll probably be ok; but if you do then tread cautiously!

You might like Jasper Fforde's books - the Thursday Next series, and the Nursery Crime series.

Am I the first to suggest the Discworld books? Some of them have vampires as well! For chick-lit, Marian Keyes' Walsh family books are among the best in the genre.

Have you read the Eoin Colfer Artemis Fowl books? Or are they too young? I like them (but I'm easily pleased!)
I'm also collecting the Septimus Heap series (by Angie Sage) at the moment - similar age range as the Artemis Fowl books, I'd say.
And then there's the The Secrets of the Immortal Nicholas Flamel collection (by Michael Scott) - more of a teen audience, this one.

Silly question - but do you not rate Terry Pratchett? That's a massive series to get into, you'll be kept busy for ages!
