I just finished the Lynch, and it has the same strengths and flaws of the first one, plus two completely worthless cliffhangers (it's really hard to convince a reader that the protagonist's life is in danger when you have a contract for five more books).

Fudoki I really liked, even though I can't describe it in any way that would make it sound like something I'd like.

I liked the Lindskold series, even though the author forgets some details at times. But it's complete at six books instead of never ending.

I liked the Marks, and have the third one on my to-read pile. But the first two make a complete story arc by themselves.

I read the first Huff book and it was okay, but not as good as her urban fantasies.

I really like Wells, but suggest you find Death of the Necromancer first if you can, since that deals with the heroine's family. This trilogy does have good stopping points between books, so not having the others isn't too bad.

I read the Hambly after it was mentioned in the Fantasy of Manners discussions, and it was pretty good (haven't read anything else by that author). I did find myself caring less about the heroine than her sister.

Butcher is fun and fast-paced.
