I would agree with those above on "Sookie Stackhouse" books
they are certainly a good read but i would not recommend them to anyone under the age of 16-18 (depending on the specific person i was recommending it to), as mentioned above Charlaine Harris relies heavily on the sex side of Sookie's relationships with both the vampires and the weres (and even a faerie male, who was a christmas gift given to her by her great grandfather). The story lines too are often very dark (even if the writing doesn't match the dark tone) possibly the widest spectrum of human behaviour (whether good or bad) are covered within the series, pedophilia, murder, greed, envy, lust, racism, rape, love, kindness, friendship.
you could try the "undead" series by Mary Janice Davidson, i have not read them myself so I cannot recommend them, my partner enjoyed them (but then we are not teens) so i would suggest having a look yourself before passing onto your daughters
I have just picked up "evernight" by Claudia Gray, which does appear to be more teen based (im only about 20 pages in)
further recommendations:
His Dark Materials - Phillip Pullman
The Spidewick Chronicles - Holly Black
Modern Tale of Faerie - Holly Black (adult)
The Vampire Chronicles - Anne Rice (adult)
The Inheritance Cycle - Christopher Paolini
Bartimaeus Trilogy - Jonathan Stround
The Legend Of Drizzt - R A Salvatore
Harry Potter - J K Rowling
there some of the ones ive read over the last year or so, but none are really like the Twilight series
