Grimdark fantasy.

Urban fantasy with smart-mouth heroines. (Let me explain this a little further. The urban fantasy subgenre is rife with heroines who have a comeback to everything, even when it could result in them being dead, and moreover, tend to have a hate-on for other women, and are almost always The Very Best in whatever it is that they do... but at some point in the story fuck up in very basic ways and need to be Rescued By The Hero. Because it's emasculating if the hero doesn't save the heroine's ass or something. I also don't want to suggest that this wasn't problematic in the early days of urban fantasy, but as it's become more popular, the pattern is so very prominent that it's hard not to see it. And I love the idea of shapeshifters and vampires and magical beings in our world, right under our nose, but goddamn the tropes that come along with this subgenre are awful.)
