I just finished Fated by Benedict Jacka. Another "Guys Urban Fantasy" these stories feature Alex Verus, a Mage who can see into the near future, allowing him to see all the permutations of events that could happen. This skill, while had on the nerves, can be quite useful.
Set in London, there is a affinity to Jim Butcher's Dresden Files books but there is enough unique style to set Alex Verus apart. I like the character, I like the writing style, the only complaint I have is that sometimes for someone who can see events before they happen, Alex can be very naive and has a couple of moments of what they call in the Romance fan world of "Too Stupid to Live." But I guess the plot needs a little dramatic irony or else Verus would solve everything before we get to read about it.
