I've only read the first one, but they seem to have more or less the same things you looked for in the earlier AB books. I suck at descriptions, so here are the Wikipedia links:
Dresden Files (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dresden_Files) (series, spoilers)
Storm Front (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storm_Front_%28novel%29) (first book)

The British covers are actually quite pretty:
