Greetings all. I'm looking for recent speculative/fantasy novels with modern/city settings and elements of pyschic ability rather than spells and fireballs. I'm not having much luck, as what I'm describing seems to sort of fall under Urban Fantasy, which often has police detectives, vampires and monsters (def not my thing) and comes across as a bit hokey to me (although Supernatural is one of my favourite TV series lol).
I thought I'd really live Rivers of London despite the detective thing but the gods thing threw me, and in places it felt too much like an adult verion of Harry Potter, and once I'd thought that thought I could not take it seriously. I thought Babel was promising too but… don't get me started on that one.
Older female protag and 3rd person POV preferred.
Thank you!
