I'm rereading The Hollows series while awaiting books on hold :>)
I love this series because it is fantasy set in the modern world...
The general plot is that there was a terrible catastrophe, and a vast majority of the humans died :>( However, in order to prevent the collapse of modern civilization, the "Inderlanders" came forward and saved the day - vampires, witches, werewolves, etc. !!!
Turns out all those fairy-tales were somewhat garbled but true - for instance, all the fairy-tales end with "and they lived happily ever after", but it was supposed to read "and they lived happily IN the ever after", because the "ever after" is a real, alternate world where, possibly, the Inderlanders came into our world from...
The protagonist is Rachel, a "Rosewood baby" witch, who with the help of her roommate, Ivy, a living vampire, and a pixy, Jenks, and his family, fight human and Inderlander crime :>) Rachel and Ivy are former IS (Inderland Security - staffed by Inderlanders) agents that are now working free-lance for the IS, and who also work for the FIB (Federal Inderlander Bureau - staffed by humans). Both agencies are similar to our present-day FBI.
So, in essence these are "Mysteries" with a twist !! There is some romance, but not really any sex, which makes it so much more enjoyable for me :>)
