In Discount Armageddon, did you enjoy ...

... the blend of urban fantasy and quirky supernatural creatures?

Nice Dragons Finish Last by Rachel Aaron

If you loved the way Discount Armageddon weaves cryptids and magical oddities into a modern city, you'll have a blast with Nice Dragons Finish Last. Julius, the most un-dragonlike dragon, navigates a Detroit run by magical factions and filled with eccentric supernatural beings. The book’s playful tone, creative worldbuilding, and city-bound magical shenanigans deliver a similar urban fantasy vibe.

... the humor and snarky, self-aware narration?

The Atrocity Archives by Charles Stross

If you enjoyed Verity Price’s witty banter and the book's tongue-in-cheek humor, The Atrocity Archives offers a protagonist with equal parts sarcasm and dry commentary. Bob Howard, a reluctant IT guy-turned-occult agent, delivers a hilarious, geeky perspective as he deals with bureaucratic horrors and eldritch threats in the British government. The blend of humor and supernatural danger is a perfect match.

... a strong, capable female protagonist dealing with supernatural threats?

Magic Bites by Ilona Andrews

If Verity’s quick-thinking, martial prowess, and snarky resilience drew you in, you'll be hooked by Kate Daniels in Magic Bites. Kate is a tough, no-nonsense mercenary navigating a world where magic and tech unpredictably collide. Her sharp tongue, resourcefulness, and ability to handle magical mayhem make her a fantastic follow-up to Verity’s adventures.

... inventive and detailed magical worldbuilding?

Libriomancer by Jim C. Hines

If you loved how Discount Armageddon builds a secret society of cryptid-managers with its own customs and rules, Libriomancer will delight you. Here, magic lets people pull objects from books, and the world is filled with quirky magical organizations and rich lore. Isaac Vainio’s adventures are imaginative, packed with rules, history, and a sense of wonder that’s reminiscent of the InCryptid universe.

... a fast-paced plot with supernatural investigations and action?

Storm Front by Jim Butcher

If you enjoyed the breakneck pace as Verity juggles cryptid crises, monster hunters, and deadly plots, Storm Front offers nonstop action. Harry Dresden, Chicago's only professional wizard, races to solve magical murders while dealing with vampires, faeries, and a skeptical police force. The quick tempo, witty narration, and constant supernatural complications make it a strong next pick.
