I finished Hounded: The Iron Druid Chronicles, and I can definitely see what you're saying. There are a few times when the main character comes off badly. The ambulance scene sticks out in particular. Still, it's a good book, especially if you're into Modern Fantasy. Overall very enjoyable.

Spoiler:
The main character has been shot through the chest, nearly killed (he saves himself by pulling healing magic from the earth), and is on his way to the hospital. Nevertheless he uses some of the remaining dregs of his magical power to play a sophomoric prank on his EMT, not once but twice? I think his editor should have seriously rethought that.
