I haven't read the Dresden Files (well, I've tried, but I disliked Harry too much to finish the first), but I've seen Seanan McGuire's October Daye books compared to them pretty frequently - they're about a half-fae PI who does work for both humans and fae. (Pretend I thought of a natural way to work in pronouns there to confirm that Toby's a girl and so is Seanan. I've had three hours of sleep.) Urban fantasy/mystery!
I'll warn you that Rosemary and Rue has some sex with a fairly skeevy dude, but the consent isn't dubious even if the protag isn't making the best choices in the world, and there isn't... any, as far as I can recall, for the five books after that?
