Devon Monk has an urban fantasy series that I really enjoy (starts with Magic to the Bone) that has the magic, the good vs. evil, and some humor.
Gail Carriger has a steampunk urban fantasy series set in Victorian England (with a twist) that I really loved...but I'm going to admit I thought the way she wrapped it up was a bit...stretching believability (if you can claim a need for believability from a story with vampires and werewolves). Oops, nevermind, not first person.
I know a lot of people who love Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum "mystery" series. It's utter slapstick. I lost interest after book...10? 8? I can't remember. I enjoyed them at first, but they got repetitive. And the author has fully admitted she has no intention of allowing any character growth in the main character. First book is One for the Money.
