I just discovered Patricia Briggs, they run a little romancy but the story telling and the writing style make them "better than that".

I also recently read a very promising first novel in the urban paranormal genre:
_Child of Fire_ by Harry Connolly. I liked it much more than the Dresden Files (to be fair, I don't like the Dresden Files books, loved the skiffy show though) but found it to be not so polished as the Briggs books I've read so far. Cant read Laurel Hamilton *at all*, got about half way through the first one and threw it at the wall.
