Kate Daniels is more urban fantasy than sci-fi, and more slanted towards "anti-heroes". It's also ever so slightly militaristic/dystopian world (if that's not your thing - it won't work for you, I don't care one way or the other), while Innkeeper has a kind of botanical/hospitality slant, there is no post-apocalyptic world or dystopian one, and Earth is fine, just in the dark.
I like the Daniels series better - because of the wry sense of humor, and complicated characterization. Also it has better banter. But admittedly the military/violence and dystopian nature of it - could be wearing. And the writers have a thing for characters with an enormous amount of power.
But I also read the Daniels series first, and am addicted to it - I've only listened to the Innkeeper series on Graphic Audio.
I don't like their third series - which has maybe six books (three are Nevada, and three are Catalina or Arabella, can't remember which), and I find kind of annoying in regards to world building. It's about family corporations running the world with "powers".
Haven't tried the "On the Edge" yet, have that in Graphic Audio as well.
