Try Martin Millar. He does a funnier, fluffier brand of urban fantasy in "Good Fairies of New York," same as he does for werewolves in "Lonely Werewolf Girl."

The thistle fairies and fairy wars are just gutsplittingly funny. There's a bit of nonexplicit sexual content, shoplifting, crazy ladies who think they're Greek generals, flowers, and a complete lack of angst and wangst, and Millar doesn't take his characters very seriously at all. It's wonderful, although kind of confusing and scatterbrained.
