Here are my favorite urban fantasy book series:

When her odd housemates display various powers, Chloe tries to make sense of the house's mysterious goings-on and endangers the entire group.
Senior High and Older books: Iron Druid by Kevin Hearne Centuries-old druid Atticus O'Sullivan, who is frequently mistaken for a college student, leads a content life in Arizona. But his peace is shattered when an ancient enemy decides to take on Atticus, the local pack of werewolves, and the ruling Irish gods.

Adult Fantasy (Due to sexual content) The Dresden Files by Jim Butcher Chicago. Harry Dresden, a wizard-for-hire specializing in paranormal investigations, helps the police probe the murders of mob enforcer Tommy and Tommy's lover, Jennifer, an escort who worked for a powerful vampire. Clues indicate rogue sorcery, but there are no leads and no suspects.
Angel Ink by Jocelynn Drake Mysterious tattoo artist Gage Powell tries to hide from his past, but warlocks are hunting for him. Gage must dodge detection while making sure his assistants--elf Trixie and troll Bronx--keep the business running in good order.
PS. If you don't know what Urban fantasy is then don't answer. I mean who really thinks Eragon is URBAN FANTASY idiot. I didn't list Mortal Insturments by Casandra CLare because it wasn't that good though it falls into the catagory. Sure the first two books in the series were good but once the girl finds out that the boy she's been making out with and in love with was her brother then that takes it too far. WTF
READ CITY OF BONES BY CASSANDRA CLARE! It's a bit like Harry Potter and Percy Jackson, with the whole fantasy world type thing; it's got warlocks, werewolves, demons, etc. and it's just a really great book (: Plus the movies coming out in August, so firstly you should read the book beforehand, and secondly if you want to get the gist of it you can watch the trailer online.
This one is one that never gets old and is better than the hunger games in my opinion, by suzanne collins, chronicles of gregor the overlander. There's also nick the overlander which I haven't gotten to yet. GTO has 5 books, and is about a boy who falls through the vent in his laundry room and discovers a hidden world underground where people have purple eyes, all bugs and animals are giant.. they ride on bats and are always trying to fulfill these prophecies. Gregor is the warrior who must fulfill them to save the underlanders from losing everything they have or being taken over by the rats. I dont wanna spoil it but its the best thing ive read in two years, and is very action packed.... I say you can almost compare this to harry potter, amazing series, very well written...
Sword of Truth series Wheel of Time series The Gatekeepers (or The Power of Five if you're in the UK) series Seven Realms series Ranger's Apprentice series Brotherband Chronicles series
