My favorite so far this year is Mozart's Blood by Louise Marley - it's an awesome and intricately-woven story, and not at all like the typical vampire books that are everywhere nowadays. I almost didn't read it because it had vampires in it and I was tired of them, but I was amazingly and quite happily surprised!
