Charlaine Harris A+
Kim Harrison A+
Patricia Briggs A+

Sherrilyn Kenyon B
C.E. Murphy B
Jim Butcher B

Kelley Armstrong C
Christine Feehan C

Any suggestions?

Sunshine by Robin McKinley
Uglies series, Midnighters series, and Peeps by Scott Westerfeld
The Blue Girl, etc by Charles de Lint
The Blood books and the sequel the Smoke Trilogy by Tanya Huff

I thought the Mediator series by Meg Cabot was rather addictive.

Have you read anything from White Wolf Publishing's World of Darkness?
Greg Stolze is one of the authors and a LT Author.
Justin Achilli, Robert Weinberg, Tim Waggoner plus many other.

Then completely separate
Tim Powers - Expiration date and Earthquake weather Plus he has lots of other good books.

I'm sure I have more but they're not coming to me right now.

I knew I forgot some!

Read Sunshine and the Uglies series.

What, no Neil Gaiman???

I second the recommendation for Tanya Huff. Her books are a lot of fun.

I haven't read any of her work myself, but my mother's currently into an author called Eileen Wilkes. Mum's big into paranormal romance/urban fantasy, so you might like Wilkes's work.

Read American Gods!

Looks like I'll try Huff next.

almost forgot

Nancy A. Collins

Her character is a vampire Sonja Blue.

Night Watch by Sergei Lukyanenko

He also wrote Day Watch and Twilight Watch neither of which I have read yet. The movie of Nightwatch is Kim Harrison meets The Matrix.

If you like Huff's Blood books, there's a tv series based on them called Blood Ties. It's available on the Lifetime channel website (no, no, it's not by Lifetime! It's a fantastic Canadian show that I really hope (but sadly doubt) will get picked up for another season).

Also, I agree with Arctic's recommendation of Night Watch books and movies (though I've only read the first book, too).

The Incarnations of Immortality by Piers Anthony might be stretching the Urban Fantasy definition, but they're very good, and not much like a lot of his other stuff.

I don't know what you thought of American Gods, but I thought Neverwhere was a very good urban fantasy.

Very much like the ones you mention:
Carrie Vaughn - Kitty series is really good!
Karen Chance - Cassandra Palmer series
Elaine Cunningham - Changeling detective series
Rachel Caine - Weather Warden series
These are a bit more on the funny side:
MaryJanice Davidson - Queen Betsy series
Katie MacAlister - Aisling grey series

A la Jim Butcher:
Simon R. Green - Nightside series
Mike Carey - The Devil You Know - I've only read the first of the series
Mark del Franco - Unshapely things - read like the start of a series, but I've only read the first
Wm. Mark Simmons - The Halflife Chronicles the first book is clearly the best, the second is a bit preachy and has its pretentious passages, and I haven't read the third yet.
Rob Thurman - Nightlife, and its sequel Moonshine. I've only read the first one.

Really good Urban fantasy, but not so much along the lines of what you've mentioned:

Nina Kiriki Hoffman fx. A fistful of sky, Spirits that walk in Shadow
Sean Stewart fx. Galveston, Mockingbird, Firecracker/Perfect circle
Emma Bull - War for the Oaks
Terry Windling - The Wood Wife
And more or less everything by Charles de Lint fx Moonheart, Someplace to be Flying, Memory and Dream, Forests of the Heart, Blue Girl, The Little Country

I also second Tanya Huff's Blood series and Keeper series as similar to what you describe.

I remembered a couple more!

Christopher Golden has a couple different series that would fall into this, one of them is a different take on werewolves, starting with prowlers

then there is also a vampire set by Karen Taylor The Vampire Legacy, starting with Blood Secrets

Thanks everyone! Lots of great ideas here.

P.S. Loved the Incarnation series and War for the Oaks. I've read Davidson too, but the Betsy series seems to not be as funny any more. I may try one of her other series.

I, too, loved War for the Oaks

Megan Lindholm aka Robin Hobb also wrote Wizard of the Pigeons, which takes place in Seattle, and another superb book (forget the title) about an Alaskan woman who meets and falls in love with a living fawn, set in modern times. Very good story, superbly told, and thought provoking too.

Also The Wild Road, The Golden Cat and The Knot Garden by Gabriel King (aka Jude Fisher with M. John Harrison) which is a marvellous fantasy about cats in London. Very original and compelling.

#17 - the faun book is Cloven Hooves. I believe it's out of print in the US, but a UK publisher still keeps all the Megan Lindholm titles in circulation.

Charles de Lint

xicanti - thanks! on that title...I did read that book as a British edition, as I recall. One London editor, in particular, has been a blessed constant with regard to all of Lindholm/Hobb's titles. It's a mystery to me, given all the current success with the stories done under pseudonym, why the Lindholm books have not been picked back up in the USA. They are way cool fantasies, and well worth the read, in my opinion.

Fledgling by Octavia R. Butler is urban fantasy, and a very compelling reworking of vampires, concurrent evolution and symbiosis. A warning, though, it has some quite disturbing elements, involving sort-of paedophilia.
