Anyway, I've not read Patricia Briggs (I'm not into shapeshifters or werewolves, so I avoid UF series that seem to have a heavier focus on those kinds of supernatural beings), so I have no idea how "like" other UF it is, but I'm pretty sure you can't generalise a genre based on just one book.

There's a wide variety of urban fantasy out there, some with more romance and some with less, some more black-and-white than others and some with more grey morality than others, so it's likely you just tried a book that didn't suit you. I like UF as a genre but that doesn't mean I've enjoyed everything I've read. But then it's also possible UF just won't be your thing - not a single genre suits everyone!
You got me there, I had typed an aggressive word but replaced it with 'wistful'. I don't want to get banned, not now not ever.

The thing with UF is that once some formerly evil beings have been humanized, true evil's definition is arbitrary and unconvincing. That is, for me, a deterrence.
