I'd also rec Kate Griffin's (aka Catherine Webb, aka Claire North) novels. They're more magic focused while still being set in a modern London, they have some of my favourite world-building in urban fantasy.

Rereading them now. The matthew swift world is one of my favorite takes on magic.

Yeah it may be my favourite magic "system". I was super sad she stopped writing them, but her novels as Claire North are also fantastic.

Would you accept a smug, kind-of-insane urban sorcerer?. There's four books in the Matthew Swift series and then it spins off into two books of Magicals Anonymous that I really wish would get more books in it.

She changed her pen name again (she's on her third now) and is now writing high concept sci-fi novels so sadly I think she's done with urban fantasy.

I might need to check those out, because her urban fantasy was really good. I like that it doesn't really remind me of anything else I've read.

The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August is amazing. I've read her first four books published under that pen name and was happy with each one.
