I've noticed in the past year that there is a new trend in alternative reality type books. Books set in the modern day except with witches, vampires, werewolves, elves, etc etc. I've read a few that I really enjoyed, and a few that I've really hated, but I've gotta admit, this epic fantasy reader has become a bit of an alternative reality addict.
Anyone else read any of these types of books?
What's your take on this trend?
