A non-zombie/vampire/paranormal YA series that I've been enjoying is Ashfall by Mike Mullin (second book is out as well - Ashen Winter). Contemporary setting with a supervolcano eruption. Reminded me of Life as We Knew It in some ways, but even grimmer.
Re: Life as We Knew It - I felt the first book was the strongest; 2nd and 3rd were okay but somewhat meh and I've seen a lot of not-positive reviews for the 4th book that was released just some weeks ago.
