For your wife, specifically:
- Cassandra Clare's Mortal Instruments series as well as Clockwork Angel (the first is urban fantasy, the second is a steampunk version of urban fantasy)
- Kady Cross's The Girl in the Steel Corset (steampunk) -- There's a loss-leader free novella about the main character in The Girl in the Steel Corset, Finley Jayne, available at the very least in the Kobo store called The Strange Case of Finley Jayne. I read it and that's how I ended up reading Steel Corset.
...I find having an e-reader has helped me discover that YA fiction is pretty much adult fiction with less sex and swearing.
