Not exactly a literary masterpiece, but my favorite is probably "Changes" by Jim Butcher. It's the twelfth book in a series called "The Dresden Files" which follows an actual wizard/detective in modern day Chicago.

The books do a great job of giving me what I care most about in a series, which is interesting characters and character development. "Changes" brings a bunch of plot lines that were started from the beginning of the series to a final point. Like the rest of the series there's action, mystery, and hints of potential futures that leave you wanting more. Plus, cool ass magic and other supernatural displays. The character shifts in this book particularly are huge, and Butcher does a great job of making you sympathetic to their individual reasons and mindsets.

If you haven't given this series a try and it sounds at all interesting to you, please give it a shot. I love every book in the series personally, but I willingly admit the first few are a little sloppy. Many people are apparently turned off by this, but the payoff of fighting through them is worth it.
