I'm pimping Robin McKinley because of one particular book, Sunshine. Everything I've ever read by her is good, she mostly does YA fantasy with strong female characters. *Actual* strong female characters, not female characters who derive their strength from the weapons they're carrying.
Sunshine immediately reminded me of the ABVH books -- because Sunshine is an example of the genre done right.
I highly recommend it, and btw, this was a great idea. Thanks for the recs, everyone.
ETA: Oh yeah, a synopsis. :)
Sunshine is a vampire novel set in an alternate universe where something called the Voodoo Wars have changed the way people live. There's magic, and it's scary, and vampires, and those are scary too.

Which is odd... Because books that have a lot of "_______ amount of time later"'s usually bug me a lot...
But I love it.
