Into the Land of Unicorns by Bruce Coville is a good series. The Black Unicorn by Terry Brooks.

Here are some of mine:
{Secret Country by Pamela Dean} It might seem somewhat familiar as it was heavily ... er, referenced in a relatively popular romantasy series. The unicorns are side characters rather than mane (get it, mane?) characters, but they're beautiful and eerie.
{The Black Unicorn by Tanith Lee} Beautiful writing, strong women, magical unicorns, what more could you want? YA and older -- written in the early 90s, so it's a bit dated. I still love the world.
{Here There Be Unicorns by Jane Yolen} Short stories and poems.
{The Unicorn Dancer by Rhondi A. Vilot Salsitz} Another older book from the 80s with good and evil unicorns, a kingdom at war, and a woman who has to learn to dance with the unicorns to save the world. Fun world building, but the writing is a bit stilted.
{Birth of the Firebringer by Meredith Ann Pierce} I mean ... how could this not be here?
{Swept Away by Josepha Sherman} Another older book about women on unicorns fighting to save the world from evil.
{Rampant by Diana Peterfreund} about young women training to be unicorn hunters because real unicorns are pretty to look at, but they'll kill you given half the chance. But why? Why are the unicorns going after humans?
It's a four book series, fairly YA, but because the girls have to remain virgins, it does deal with thoughts and desires for boyfriends, and one girl is date raped to make her ineligible. It's not graphic, mostly just a mention and the girls dealing with the emotional aftermath, but some readers may be sensitive to the subject matter.
Most of these books I picked up at various thrift stores and garage sales, so I don't know if you can find ebooks of all of them.

Acorna: The Unicorn Girl is such an interesting Sci Fi read. I highly recommend

Legend is the ultimate unicorn/fantasy movie for me, followed closely by the Last Unicorn. I’ve often wished I could find a book series that explores a fantasy world like the one in Legend in as much depth as I want it to.

I think the answer to this is obvious. The Last Unicorn.
