Embracing my demons. French kissing them. Might fuck them.

can y'all recommend me some low fantasy books? like it’s fantasy but takes place in our world and isn’t too complicated. but not pjo or hp, i already know about those.
I’d actually recommend the Hollows series by Kim Harrison, also called the Rachel Morgan series. Slightly alternative history in which a terrible pandemic in the 60s made it really obvious that not everyone was actually human. Witches (species), vampires, pixies, weres etc. revealed themselves to the world, a vampire was president and everyone learnt to live in something adjacent to harmony. Main character is a witch and Certified Disaster who works as something like a private detective/bounty hunter in Cincinnati. She’s a badass but also a fucking idiot and just an extremely fun character to read.
The world building and deep lore is actually fascinating, if a little iffy on the biology at times. There’s like 14 books and one tasteful sex scene per book because the author was a romance writer first, and you can tell, but it works. It’s not paranormal romance, it’s just urban fantasy, but Rachel sure enjoys eye banging attractive men. There’s like 14 books at this point not including the short stories.
Highly recommend. They’re trashy in just the right way and I found them by picking up a random book in an English language book shop in Quito, third in the series I think. Pure chance in 2008 but I just read the most recent book last week, I’m still enjoying them.
