I'm a big fan of Ilona Andrews's Kate Daniels series, and I love the alternate reality she has create in "post shift" Atlanta. However, the latest book in the series, Magic Bleeds, is by far the best yet. Andrews pits Kate against her very powerful and evil aunt, who just happens to be a demi-god. "Aunt" Erra is bent on creating chaos, tearing Atlanta apart, and killing Kate in the process. Throw in the luscious romantic conflict between Kate and Curran, the Atlanta "Beast King," and this is a near-perfect book by a truly gifted writer.
