From the publisher: Divorced mother of one, Charlie Madigan, lives in a world where the beings of heaven and hell exist among us, and they aren't the things of Sunday school lessons and Hallmark figurines. In the years since the Revelation, they've become our co-workers, neighbors, and fellow citizens. Charlie works for ITF (Integration Task Force). It's her job to see that the continued integration of our new "friends" goes smoothly and everyone obeys the law, but when a new off-world drug is released in Underground Atlanta, her daughter is targeted, and her ex-husband makes a fateful bargain to win her back, there's nothing in heaven or earth (or hell for that matter) that Charlie won't do to set things right.
The Darkest Edge of Dawn (Charlie Madigan, Book 2) coming August 31, 2010.
[BTW I have almost finished my copy of this title [thank you, Pocket Books] and find it to be a brilliant, imaginative story with a strong (even sexy) heroine who unlike most in the urban fantasy world has the responsibilities of raising a child.] Longer review to come.
Thanks to Pocket Books two US readers (No P. O Boxes please) will have a chance to win a copy of The Better Part of Darkness

I love New Orleans as a paranormal setting. I've been there and just love the "old world" feel.
I also like London as a setting. Again, another "old world" feel to it.
Thanks,

I like Canada in Michelle Rowen's series. The underground city is cool.

I like Forks, Washington from the Twilight series.

I would have to say New Orleans from Anne Rice's the Mayfair Witches series.
She gives it that haunting quality that makes you sit back and make the transition from the past to the present easily.
Thanks for the opportunity! Indigo

That would be Bontemps, Louisiana. I even like the name, which means Good Time. That is what you get with the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris. You never know who or what you will meet coming down the road.
I DON'T want to be entered, I'm just visiting other tour participants today.
Very good book!
I love Keri Arthur's Melbourne.

I picked the town of Rio Seco Texas as my favorite setting for the "Blood Line Series" by Maria Lima about
character Keira Kelly.
Jackie B Central Texas

I'd have to say Cincinatti... I love the Hollows books by Kim Harrison.
New Orleans is my favorite place for books (of any kind) to be set.

Chicago in the Chicagoland Vampire series and The Dresdon Files.
I love Chicago for Chloe Neill's vampire series!

Well, somebody already mention Cincinnati, home of the Hollows series, which is one of my favorites. I'd also say Sherwood, Maryland, home of Jeri Smith-Ready's WVMP series! Thanks!
It has to be Cincinati, OH which is the home of Kim Harrison's Hollows series.

It would have to be New Orleans, I love Anne Rice and the way she portrayed the city, in Interview With a Vampire just made it come to life.
Please enter me in the contest.
The Black Dagger Brotherhood's New York!

This is a hard question.. I guess it would be Atlanta. I love the Kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrews.
St. Louis, home of the Anita Blake series by Laurell K. Hamilton. Blake and company are hot!
Since Atlanta/Kate Daniels has already been mentioned, I'm going to go with my other favorite, Tri-Cities in Washington state for the Mercy Thompson series.
Thanks! :0)

Los Angeles is the home of Angel and Company. With all the human freaks, geeks and goobers in L.A., the paranormal people fit right in!

I love the mansions of the old south for paranormal settings. Seems so realistic that ghosts might visit.
Morganville, Texas for The Morganville Vampire series by Rachel Caine!
I've been seeing a lot of this book lately and it looks good. THanks for the heads up.
You named my top pick for UF cities: Atlanta a la Kate Daniels - I grew up in Atlanta and boy do I wish it had been like that when I lived there!
Thanks!

Happy Holidays!

Harper Connelly and her brother Tolliver, live in St. Louis but grew up in Texarkana.
They travel constantly, so it does not feel like they have a home.
This is a Charlaine Harris series.
