I love Twilight, and I'm looking forward to reading New Moon. It seems like you're into fantasy-romance books. (I love those, too!) A few come to mind, so here are my suggestions...
Cobwebs, by Karen Romano Young, is a great read. I suggest reading it late at night, with a flashlight! Nancy's family has always been a little...different. Her mother, Rachel, and father, Ned, are both descended from families that have spider-like qualities. While Ned loves heights, spending his days high above the city as a roofer, Rachel prefers a dark, quiet basement and is a weaver. Nancy is torn between the two spidery worlds, and her journey to discover herself takes a strange turn when she meets Dion. The pair's relationship will ultimately help them overcome all obstacles.
Next, I strongly suggest reading A Great And Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray. It is a beautiful, touching and slightly scary book, and I absolutely loved it. Set in Victorian England, the story follows sixteen year old Gemma Doyle, who is burdened by a strange secret she doesn't even understand. When her mother dies, she is sent to Spence Academy in London, where she discovers some unsettling secrets. With her friends Ann, Pippa and Felicity, Gemma discovers the secrets of an ancient cult of powerful woman called the Order. (And there are guys involved, don't worry!)
Also, Don't Die Dragonfly by Linda Joy Singleton was another great book. Sabine Rose is a teenage girl who struggles with unsettling psychic powers and visions that have a habit of coming true. After getting kicked out of her old high school after predicting the death of a football player, Sabine ends up in a small town with her grandmother and handyman-hunk Dominic. Sabine makes herself blend in, mingling with the cheerleaders and landing herself a hot boyfriend. But when she begins getting visions of a girl with a dragonfly tattoo in danger, she is forced to take action, and risk revealing her secret.
Finally, the Uglies trilogy by Scott Westerfield are more science fiction than they are fantasy, but I think you'll still love them! (I did.) The first book is called Uglies, and takes place in the future. The earth we know now is gone, replaced by a harsh and alien post-epocolyptic world. That is the setting for Uglies by Scott Westerfield. In this future, turning sixteen is more life changing than you could imagine. Normal people are considered ugly, and they live in shame until their sixteenth birthday, when an operation transforms them into a raving beauty. This seems perfect, right? But as Tally Youngblood finds out, there is more to it. The entire trilogy is packed with action, adventure, suspense and romance.
Enjoy the books!

I read Blue Bloods recently and it was a good book and it has to do with vampires and all that. I liked it. I'm going to read Twilight soon too.
