Faerie Fiction Recs?

While nowhere near as big a scene as Vampires, it seems like Faeries are enjoying a boost in popularity on the YA fiction shelves. Last week I picked one up at random, hoping for a fun read of modern Mabs and Oberons. I ended up with Bones of Faeriebecause of the classy cover and a 4.5 star Amazon rating. The premise–a story set one generation after a war between man and faerie wiped out technology and faerie folk alike, but leaving a taint of magic throughout the world– sounded really promising. Maybe if I was a teen girl the book would have spoken to me, but as an adult fan of the occassional YA fantasy, I really couldn’t get into it.

Anyway, I figured some of you gobblin readers must be well versed in Faerie fiction. Can anyone recommend any relatively recent relesaes that fit the bill?
