This series was recommended to me by a few friends. It is another take on the super/witch/were world set in the Hallows a suburb of Cincinnati Ohio. The premise is the human population was decimated by infected tomatoes and the supernatural community uses this large reduction in the humans to make them selves known. They figure that at least if things go poorly they will have the best tactical advantage in millennia.
The story focuses on Rachel Morgan a witch with the IS, a governing agency for non-humans. She is a runner, or cop, and she has had it with the bureaucracy, her dumbass boss, getting the worst assignments, and she terminates her contract. Opening an independent business along with another runner Lily, who is a living vampire, and Jenks, who is a fairy she has to avoid a hit put out on her by her former boss Denon.
She spends the book trying to avoid her own death and work a case large enough to pay off her contract.
A different take on an altaverse, that includes new twists on traditional mythos, like the living vamps a pixie vs fairy war and different were creatures. A good read if you like the dead series by Charlaine Harris.
