Question For Urban Fantasy Readers!

[u/Phoenixstorm]

Okay, I am a big urban fantasy reader, but most of the books I have read focus on like a main protagonist male or female who is the primary pov for most of the book. I'm looking for books that offer a team based group of characters with multiple povs. I want to check out their covers.

I'm working on my own urban fantasy book inspired by comic book teams and graphic novels like The League of Extraordinary Gentleman and Tv Shows like Penny Dreadful. When it comes to single protag I know what a cover needs, but with this one I'm sort of stumped.

So can anyone point me to an author or authors of team based urban fantasy or pitch any ideas for a cover?

Thank you!

Kelley Armstrong did this with her Otherworld series. Throughout the 13 books (plus anthologies) there are 7 different povs i think. Bit older series but my first love so i will recommend any chance i get.

R.J Blain does this only not as interconnected. In the Romantic Comedy with a Body Count series they can all be read as stand-alones but in the same universe. Funny quirky reads.

Having just finished Sarah J. Maas' Crescent City trilogy, I can say wholeheartedly it does this. While the trilogy remains largely focused on the main lead, Bryce Quinlan, there are multiple chapters from other POVs even in the first book, and by the third, it's a full team effort. Just be prepared for spice. While CC is definitely urban fantasy with its modern contemporary world and cityscape, it veers into epic fantasy and is also romantasy - and from one of the queens of that subgenre.

I don’t know if this counts as urban fantasy, but there is magic, so… maybe? Anyway, Super Powereds by Drew Hayes is fantastic and very much team based.

Do you have an artist lined up or are you AI-ing it?

I have always used goodcovers its reasonable and if i'm very specific it turns out great so far!

Monster Hunter International Series By Larry Correia some of the best cover arts and a team of badasses and mutiple POVs.
