I recently got back into Dresden Files and I am beyond disappointed with the series as a whole. The series took a massive drop in quality which wasn't that high to begin with. Every book is the same, with a slightly different monster, reason why Harry is weak and barely walking, loose magic that can do anything Harry needs and a new barely legal ridiculously hot, naked teen that is ready to sleep with Harry at a moments notice but Harry is such a gentleman he refuses.
Are there any books with simmilar plot that are actually good? I tried Magic Bites by wasnt feeling it. I'm looking for something like the early seasons of Supernatural while it took itself seriously.
Any recs are welcomed. Thanks in advance!

I’ve heard that Dresden is similar to the Rivers of London series by Ben Aaronovitch and I love those books. The main character is a little distracted by women early on but he grows out of that pretty much by the third book I’d say. The plot in my opinion stays fairly solid with some book specific cases as well as overarching stories
For other urban fantasy series, Moon Calling by Patricia Briggs or Rosemary and Rue by Seanan McGuire.
There is always the __Sandman Slim__ series from Richard Kadrey. Great fun.
Try **Alex Verus** series. I prefer that to Dresden.
I agree. These books are recommended so often that I’ve plowed through three of them but they are just bad. I give up.
