Yes. She's competent but she's not without flaws -- and that's the important thing right there. It's like they draw these characters that are so badass and competent that they can't think of how their villains could possibly beat her -- or how the hero could look sexy if he's not "better than her" -- and instead of giving her actual flaws (oh and hear this urban fantasy writers? Being a "little bit round" is not a flaw ffs. Flaws are part of your personality, not your body), they make her act entirely out of character -- and hey! villain gets to be awesome, and the hero gets to be all sexy and save the day! All good right?"
