I'm just going to comment with the same stuff I always do when people ask for suggestions XD

Anything by Trudi Canavan. Especially the Black Magician trilogies (called The Black Magician Trilogy and The Traitor Spy Trilogy)! Mostly because they're absolutely amazing but also because I would seriously pay to have another fan to squee with sometimes holy shit...

The Saga of Darren Shan by Darren Shan (yes, yes, I know, YOU'LL UNDERSTAND) as well as The Saga of Larten Crepsley. The former is kind of a "you have to grow up with it" kind of thing (you know, a bit like Harry Potter) since it starts out as something for ten-year old boys but it's worth it for all the damn feels you'll have about the latter as a result oh my god :'| All of Darren Shan's books are pretty damn great though, if you don't want to commit to a twelve-book series I really recommend The Thin Executioner or even the City trilogy. He published a new book last month called Lady of the Shades that I haven't read yet but a lot of other fans have said it's his best one

I'm just going to rec the books I rec everyone and you can tell me to go away if they don't seem like your thing :D

"The Passage" by Justin Cronin - it's really, really long but really, really good. I hesitate to call it a vampire apocalypse novel, because that is just scratching the surface of the awesome.

"The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak is one of my favorite books, and it made me cry, but no matter how many times I read it, it still blows me away. I'd also reccommend "I Am The Messenger" by him.

"A Fine and Private Place" by Peter S. Beagle is my all time favorite book, but I know it's not everyone's cup of tea. It has fantasy elements (a talking raven, ghosts) but it's set in a "modern" (it was written in the 60's) setting.
