Not that knowledgeable about vampire fiction myself -- I love a good vampire story, but almost all of them are crap. (Hence why I am writing my own?) Stupid teenage girls falling in love with vampires. They're alien and creepy and WILL EAT YOU. Unless you are Joss Whedon, I will probably not be interested.
Ooh, yes, Diana Wynne Jones! I think I can see some reluctant readers latching onto Howl's Moving Castle, or the Chrestomanci books, especially girls starved for adventure stories in which girls actually get to DO SOMETHING, and still get to be girls while they do it.
I keep meaning to read Young Wizards myself, but I've never run into them except in bookstores, and I, having little money, never buy books I haven't read. Except for today. But that was the sequel to a book I had read and I couldn't just buy one! And yes, Sherwood Smith!!! Crown Duel & Court Duel might be a good recommendation for Twilight fans looking for more fantasy romance, though this is of course a very different kind. And Wren is great fun; haven't read those in ages, though.
