I think maybe it's an issue of age & maturity. I would not have been comfortable giving the Sookie Stackhouse books to my daughter any younger than 16-17, and she was a very mature and sensible young adult. Other books by Charlaine Harris do not have the same type of situations and would be fine -- though they might not be interesting to a teen.
What made Twilight so appealing for teen girls was the heavy focus on romance and not on the physical relationship. So my recommendations tended to run to books with a similar theme of the supernatural. Not all of the books that I recommended were romantic.
