Have you read anything by Tamora Pierce? If not, try the Circle of Magic books and their sequels.

Especially the sequels.

Go beyond fantasy to science fiction, and try authors writing for adults. If you still want some romance in the mix try Mercedes Lackey, but while there's one vampire romance in there, it predates the current crop by so much it's practically a different planet. Read the classic works of the genre, like "A Wizard of Earthsea" by Ursula LeGuin.

Was definitely about to come in here and recommend Tamora Pierce's books too. I personally prefer the Tortall books but all of them are worth the read. I'd also recommend the Abhorsen books by Garth Nix.

Also, I don't know if the OP is sick of vampire stories altogether but I would recommend 'Team Human'. I just read it earlier this month and loved it. It has an Asian female protagonist and is a very different spin on the vampire YA trend.

Or anything else by her. The recent Annals of the Western Shore series is very good and has a wide variety of protagonists and plots.
