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.

I second the recommendation for Holly Black's books. Since they're YA, they're pretty much guaranteed not to dip into porn. (Not that I have a problem with porn, just the LKH form of porn.

WHICH doesn't mean there is no romance in the novels.

Contrary to popular LKH-troobies belief.

For that matter, it doesn't mean there isn't anything erotic or sensual in the novels.

Dear LKH. Explicit, graphic sex is not the only way to coven sexiness. Sigh.

convey, even. Although "coven" is one of my more interesting typos.
