I haven't read any of those, but I see the connection to Ilona Andrews. I've quite enjoyed the Innkeeper series (Clean Sweep is the first one), which feature multiple worlds, exotic creatures, the usuals like vampires and werewolves, and present-day Texas. And on Shabbat I just finished reading Burn for Me, first in a series (well, there was the short story "Swine and Roses"), in which the POV character is a private investigator in a world with mages. In all the works I've read, I've found the writing style engaging with a degree of snarky humor.
