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.

Tad Williams wrote a stand alone (but still ginormous) fantasy novel "War of the Flowers" which is about the fae, and I thought it was pretty good.

Ooooh, and Memory Sorrow and Thorn series has some very intriguing, very OTHER elves in it. They're very clearly not human beings with pointy ears, and Jiriki is DAMN HOT.
