Undead series by Mary Janice Davidson
Undead and Unwed
Betsy Taylor turns 30, gets laid off, is killed by an SUV and wakes up dead all in the same week. The vampire community is convinced she's their prophesied Queen. But she's not having any of it - she's got shoes to buy! And now the undead world is being turned upside-down by a Bela Lugosi throwback and her subjects expect her to take care of it! Why didn't she read the handbook? But her would-be consort, Eric Sinclair, is (annoyingly) ever-present. If only he wasn't so tall, dark, gorgeous...and undead.
Fun series good sex but the fighting and violence is nothing like Laurell K. Hamilton. It is fun and light. I'll read the sequels.

Bitterbynde by Cecilia Dart-Thornton
Ill-made mute
Imrhein, a scarred, mute girl, is taken on as a servant in Isse Tower. Eventually, with the aid of a friendly wanderer, she escapes, learns handspeech, and begins her search for the secret of her origin and a way to recover the power of speech. On the way she learns that many of the tales of unworldly and dangerous creatures she has heard are true and that she and the land in which she dwells are in mortal danger. Featuring a world in which fairy and mortals live together.
Interestingly enough she weaves folklore and legends into this novel to make this fantasy even more of a treat.
