Merry Gentry Alternatives?

I think it's quite easy to find Anita-like alternative reading material in this day and age (I can't spit without hitting a book about some girl dealing with vampires/werewolves), but I was wondering if anyone has stumbled across some quality urban fantasy material about faeries? I'm almost completely clueless.

The only one that immediately comes to mind is War for the Oaks (highly recommended).

Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm without any books lined up to read right now and it's kinda freaking me out.

Ink and Steel by Elizabeth Bear is supposed to be faerie related (it's an alternative history/urban fantasy kind of book involving Queen Elizabeth, Shakespeare, Marlowe and a bunch of faeries). I still haven't read it, so I don't really know if the faeries play a big part, but I'm pretty sure they are there. In the same theme (Queen Elizabeth and faeries) there's Marie Brennan's new book Midnight never Come.

More "faerie-centric": The Faerie Wars books by Herbie Brennan I guess. O__O
