Carrying on the supernatural theme, I found Dragon's Bait to be a quick, entertaining read.
Alys, the daughter of a poor, sickly village tinsmith has a date with a dragon. Unfortunately this is a date that is not destined to go well. A group of greedy, corrupt villagers have conspired to have Alys declared a witch - and the punishment for witchcraft in her village is to become a tasty snack for the local dragon. The villagers stake Alys out on a hillside and scurry home to their warm beds. It's late, it's cold and it's raining, and all Alys can think about is revenge. Then the dragon shows up, a dragon that is full of surprises...
