Okay, I could give reccomendations for hours and hours but I'll stick with three and see what everyone else comes up with.
The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan. It has zombies and evil nuns ... enough said. Oh - and her writing it FANTASTIC.
The Fever Series by Karen Marie Moning. It's urban fantasy, set in Ireland ... and the fae are scary as hell and Barrons - well, he's delicious.
The Black Jewels trilogy by Anne Bishop. Or, really, anything by her. She's amazing all around. Her stuff is almost urban fantasy, but it's set in a different world so I guess it's technically fantasy.
I started Night Shift by Lilith St. Crowe last night and could've stayed up all night reading. AWESOME!! I've never read her before, but I'll be snatching up everything she's written (slowly, because I'm dirt poor these days)from now on.
Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins. Just blew me away. My son loved it too (he has been reading it over and over again), and so do my friends. One of them called me yesterday morning saying she'd been up until 2am finishing it.
The Hunger Games is a fantastic book! I picked it up because of an interview that Stephen King did with Entertainment Weekly. It was so unusual for that kind of book to get page time in EW that I checked it out .... and stayed up half the night finishing it.
Because I recommended it to someone earlier this morning: the Bobbie Faye books by Toni McGee Causey. Same type of humor as the Stephanie Plum series, but with a lot more action. The first two books are out and the third is coming out this year. However, with the mass market releases of the first two books, they're changing not only the covers, but the titles too, so you've been warned.

I also recently read Coraline by Neil Gaiman and loved it and Zombie Blondes by Brian James gave me mad zombie nightmares.
