These aren't 'new' books but have you tried the 'Blood' books by Tanya Huff? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanya_Huff#Blood_Books Blood Price (1991) Blood Trail (1992) Blood Lines (1992) Blood Pact (1993) Blood Debt (1997) Blood Bank - a short story collection
And a spinoff series 'Smoke & Mirrors' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanya_Huff#Smoke_and_Shadows Smoke and Shadows Smoke and Mirrors Smoke and Ashes
Someone mentioned Mercedes Lackey below & in the last few years she's been taking classic stories & putting her own spin on them: The Black Swan (1999) based on Swan Lake Firebird (1996) Based on a Russian Folk Tale
Not sure if you'd like these but there's a serie by Rob (Robyn) Thurman I like. "an urban fantasy series set in New York City, involving a pair of brothers named Caliban and Niko Leandros" http://robthurman.net/cal-leandros/ Nightlife Moonshine Madhouse Deathwish Roadkill a rundown on the main characters: http://robthurman.net/the-leandros-lair/
