   A modern example is the Innkeeper Chronicles series from "Ilona   
   Andrews" (a husband/wife duo). It starts out seeming like an urban   
   fantasy. Dina is the keeper of a magic Inn, where she travels through   
   portals the marketplace with many strange creatures. A group of   
   Vampires is expected for stay. And she detects that a Werewolf has   
   moved into the neighborhood.   
      
   But it turns out it's all supposed to be science fiction. The Inn is a   
   living being that's psychially linked with Dina. The Vampires are   
   humanoid warrious with fangs, from distant worlds, not undead   
   bloodsuckers. The Werewolf is the descendent of bioengineered soldiers   
   from yet another world.   
      
   Now, the science is pretty soft, especially the biology (her sister has   
   baby with a Vampire) and this would I think fall in the "science   
   fantasy" category.
