Valiant by Holly Black
Valiant, like Tithe is set in a world where fairies are not benevolent pretty things but rather both the Light and Dark Courts are horrifyingly beautiful and dismissive of the value of non-magical creatures.
Valerie Russel is betrayed by her mother and leaves her home in NJ for New York City. She changes her appearance and meets up with some other teens who are living in a subway tunnel and running errands for magical creatures. There is sex, drugs, magic, trolls, kidnapping, and a realization that the eye of the beholder is easier tricked than the heart of the beholder.
