Atticus O'Sullivan is the last of the Druids, and he runs an occult bookshop in Arizona. He is a handsome, tattooed Irish dude that looks like he is in his early twenties, but in actuality, he is over twenty centuries old.
Atticus is shape-shifting in his spare time to hunt with his Irish wolfhound. He is giving the dog the same life-extending potions that he takes himself, so his dog is way older than the average seven years a wolfhound gets. When they are not hunting they watch movies and have witty conversations together.
Atticus draws his power from the earth, possesses a sharp wit, and wields an even sharper magical sword. The sword is known as Fragarach and it can cut whatever it hits.

Is Bartimaeus Sequence good?
This is a well-paced story with a good plot.
You should read this series, it is really good.
The story itself is well-paced and complex enough to keep the reader guessing.
Why is Bartimaeus Sequence recommended?
The Iron Druid Chronicles have some similarities with the Bartimaeus Sequence. Both Bartimaeus and Atticus has a sharp witty thong and has interesting dialogs.
One of the main differences is that the Bartimaeus Sequence has a younger audience as its main target, but it is perfectly fine for adults to read. It is a good book series. It is in the YA Fantasy genre and not in the Urban Fantasy genre like The Iron Druid Chronicles.
If you like The Iron Druid Chronicles then Bartimaeus Sequence is a good recommendation, but only if you are OK with Young Adult books.

The Monster Hunter books are also cool Urban Fantasy books with an interesting male lead character. It's an interesting series with many cool books.

The Dresden Files

Is The Dresden Files good?
I was at first a little put off because it differs from the stories told in the books, but after I come over that I started to really like it. The essence of the show is the same as the books, and you get a similar feeling. It is worth watching even if you have not read the books.
Why is The Dresden Files recommended?
Mostly the same reason as to why the books where suggested. But read the books if you haven't. They are much better. The TV-Show has almost nothing in common with them.

Grimms are a group of hunters who fight supernatural forces. They are charged with keeping the balance between humanity and the creatures of myth.
A reformed "Big Bad Wolf", now a reformed vegetarian, becomes his greatest helper and confidant.
Is Grimm good?
The creators have earlier made shows like Buffy and Angle. Grimm has some high standards to live up to, and it does so remarkably well.
This Show is a kind of modern take on the Grimm`s fairytales. Grimm is especially worth watching if you like modern fantasy and police shows.
The Shannara Chronicles

Is The Shannara Chronicles good?
The TV show is ok-ish.
Sadly it can't give the books the justice they deserve.
It's worth giving it a try if you like fantasy shows, but you still might end up not liking it.
