any good vampire books?

Question

any good vampire books?

Answer 1

Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice, is just amazing - so much better than Twilight trust me!

Answer 2

Soulmate, Huntress, The Awakening, The Fury, The conflict - all with the help of L.J Smith Ritual, Initiation, Legacy, Bloodlust with the help of Alex Duval those are ok ,yet of course Twilight might make all of them appear as if bedtime memories indexed right here are greater, yet in assessment to the 1st ones I gave those are proper for a greater mature following: Queen of the Damned, The Vampire Lestat, Blood Canticle, Merrick, Blood and Gold- Anne Rice Anne Rice has a respectable volume of vampire books yet no longer all of them have romance in them, it is there regardless of the incontrovertible fact that it's not any longer the focal factor of the story

Answer 3

Interview With A Vampire

Let The Right One In

Ive also read the Twilight Series and loved both of these.

Answer 4

the morganville vampire books are awesome and the plots of the novels are really good. it's also very funny at some points:)

Answer 5

Dracula by Bram Stoker. If you have not read this book, you most definitely should. It is the very basis of the vampire mythology, the birthplace and very root of the vampire genre. Though written a while ago, it still remains the greatest vampire novel of them all. Masterfully written and captivating to read. I think you get the point...read this book.

Answer 6

Like Twilight but better, and great drama, action, romance, and mystery!

Vampire Diaries by L.J Smith*******

Recently became a comeback trilogy(3 books total, fourth one coming soon)

Elena: the golden girl, the leader, the one who can have any boy she wants.

Stefan: brooding and mysterious, he seems to be the only one who can resist Elena, even as he struggles to protect her from the horrors that haunt his past.

Damon: sexy, dangerous, and driven by an urge for revenge against Stefan, the brother who betrayed him. Determined to have Elena, he'd kill to possess her.

But there’s a third party in the small town of Forena Fell, one who wants the brothers dead, and Elena for worse.



Marked ( Book 1) House of Night series by P.C. Cast & Kristin Cast

In 16-year-old Zoey Redbird's world, vampyres not only exist but are also tolerated by humans. Those whom the creatures "mark" as special enter the House of Night school where they will either become vampyres themselves, or, if their body rejects the change, die. To Zoey, being marked is truly a blessing, though she's scared at first. She has never fit into the human world and has always felt she is destined for something else. Her grandmother, a descendant of the Cherokee, has always supported her emotionally, and it is she who takes the girl to her new school. But even there the teen stands apart from the others. Her mark from the Goddess Nyx is a special one, showing that her powers are very strong for one so young. At the House of Night, Zoey finds true friendship, loyalty, and romance as well as mistrust and deception.



Blue Bloods Series by Melissa De La Cruz- The Blue Blood Series by Melissa De La Cruz- About a group of Vampires called Blue Bloods who try to do good in the world, only to realize that one of their own has turned from them.



Eternal By: Cynthia Smith-******

At last, Miranda is the life of the party: all she had to do was die. Elevated and adopted by none other than the reigning King of the Mantle of Dracula, Miranda goes from high-school theater wannabe to glamorous royal fiend overnight. Meanwhile, her reckless and adoring guardian angel, Zachary, demoted to human guise as the princess’s personal assistant, has his work cut out for him trying to save his girl’s soul and plan the Master’s fast-approaching Death Day gala.



Evermore (a lot like Twilight) Really Good

Since a horrible accident claimed the lives of her family, sixteen-year-old Ever can see auras, hear people’s thoughts, and know a person’s life story by touch. Going out of her way to shield herself from human contact to suppress her abilities has branded her as a freak at her new high school—but everything changes when she meets Damen Auguste… Ever sees Damen and feels an instant recognition. He is gorgeous, exotic and wealthy, and he holds many secrets. Damen is able to make things appear and disappear, he always seems to know what she’s thinking—and he’s the only one who can silence the noise and the random energy in her head. She doesn’t know who he really is—or what he is. Damen is equal parts light and darkness, and he belongs to an enchanted new world where no one ever dies. [close]
