Let's see, what twist on urban fantasy can we come up with - how about Amazons are real, and still living in all-female tribes that practice magic and fighting, and give away or kill all male babies? All righty then!
Mel left her Amazon tribe after her baby son died (or was killed) after birth, and makes her living as a tattooist. Her teenage daughter doesn't know about her Amazon heritage or potential powers. Then dead Amazon girls start being dumped at Mel's door. Drama.
This is a completely over the top urban fantasy, with a convoluted and ridiculous ending. Plus, Mel falls in lust with two men at the same time which is one of the tropes I find most irritating in urban fantasy. One of them is creepily lying to her throughout most of the book, but inexplicably this doesn't seem to put her off. The magic of hormones. I don't think I'll be looking out for anymore of the Amazon series.
