The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms; N.K. Jemisin; 2010

Broody teenage girl gets involved with an otherworldly powerful boyfriend who seems likely to be the death of her.  Though other guys are interested in her romantically, she only has eyes for her destined mate, and eventually becomes a being like him.

Does this sound like a bit too much like Twilight for comfort?  Especially in a Nebula and Hugo finalist?  Yeah.  Yeah, it does.

Given that the third book in the series is also a Nebula finalist, I have hopes and will probably go back for more.
