Another good option is 'Storm Front' by Jim Butcher. It's the first in the 'Dresden Files' series, but it can be read as a standalone. Harry Dresden is a wizard in modern - day Chicago, dealing with magic, crime, and the supernatural. The story has a good mix of action, mystery, and magic that beginners will enjoy.

For a different flavor, 'The Night Circus' by Erin Morgenstern is a beautiful urban fantasy standalone. It's set in a mysterious circus that only opens at night. The writing is lyrical, and the story is full of magic, love, and mystery. It's a great choice for those new to urban fantasy as it has a unique and enchanting setting.
