I had a great time with Storm Front. It oozes of 30's and 40's hard boiled detective stories, and manages to construct an interesting universe, combining the modern world with magic and fantastical creatures.
One bit of fair criticism is that it leans a bit too heavily into outdated (and misunderstood) masculinity. It didn't ruin it for me, but I do hope that gets better in the follow-ups. That said, I've already started the next one. It's just that fun.
As a sidenote, I listened to the audio book, and the narration is just superb. It's taken straight out of noir detective narration from that genre's heyday. If that sounds like your thing, go listen to it!

I'm somewhat torn on Limetown. It never manages to reach the heights of the podcast, in particular its first season, but it does provide some very interesting backstory. Its main problem is that it spends a lot of time on uninteresting bits of backstory, interpersonal drama, which wasn't what I was looking for. There are also the odd inconsistency here and there, and the ending is rather odd, and doesn't perfectly line up with the podcast, and kind of leaves more new questions unanswered.
Even if you've listened to the podcast (you should), this is not in any way a must-read. If you really want to know more of the story, then it's decent enough.
