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 absolutely worshiped her during junior high and high school, but the characters and plots she uses (while still a hell of a lot of fun) got a bit repetitive for me after a while. If elves and NASCAR aren't your cup of tea, the Bedlam's Bard books are set in the same universe, but don't include race cars. I think the only books of hers that I still really keep up with are the Elemental Masters series.
I mentioned Emma Bull -- in particular, try "Territory." I was a bit skeptical going in, because it's a fantasy western, but it rocked hard.
