Morganville Vampire series -Rachael Caine. Undead and unwed series- MaryJanice Davidson (these are really funny ) |
|||
|
|||
is the Dark series by Christine Feehan! |
|||
|

Darren Shan's Cirque du Freak series is outstanding. The series is YA, but matures in much the same way as Harry Potter. Almost forgot one of my all-time favorites! Fat White Vampire Blues and Bride of the Fat White Vampire by Andrew Fox. These are great books. I keep hoping he'll write another, but it doesn't look like that's going to happen.

for light/funny I liked Lynsay Sands' series through The Accidental Vampire - after that they got a little darker with some unfinished storylines. kathy love's young brothers kerrelyn sparks |

Don't forget the mother of them all, Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles, starting wtih Interview With the Vampire. |
|||
|
|||
I have to agree with the above and say The Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice. The mother of all vampire books, indeed! |

I'm the Vampire, That's Why (Broken Heart, Oklahoma, Book 1) by Michele Bardsley This is a funny series that begins with vampires taking over the town by buying out the humans...except...hee-hee don't wanna spoil it. I'd agree with all the others above too! Oh almost forgot the Dead End Dating series by Kimberly Raye. This is from Amazon to give you an idea about the series. A vivacious vampire with a flair for accessorizing, Lil Marchette is unlike most of her kind. She prefers lively shades of pink to dismal black (soo not her color), plus she’s a hopeless romantic. In need of a steady paycheck to support a compulsive cosmetics habit, Lil starts Dead End Dating (DED), a Manhattan-based matchmaking service that helps smart, sophisticated singles like herself find eternity mates–and may even help her stake a claim to her very own Count Right! |

My favorite is Patricia Briggs. Her Mercy Thompson series is great. Also, she has a new series out, Alpha & Omega. Only one book is out "Cry Wolf" and it is available in the system. Great book!!. I am a newbie at paranormal but of all the books I have read on that subject, I like Patricia Briggs' writing the best. |

One author who was writing about vampires before it was cool (even pre-dating Ann Rice) is Fred Saberhagen. He had a series of novels from Dracula's point of view - my favorite is the Holmes-Dracula file |
|||
|
|||
JR Ward's Black Dagger Brotherhood series is awesome and has been my favorite so far! |
|||
|
|||
For an older but very good vampire series that started about the same time as the one Anne Rice wrote, you could try Chelsea Quinn Yarbro's Count de Saint-Germain books, starting with 'Hotel Transylvania' - it kept me up till the small hours of the morning because I just couldn't stop reading. I liked the first six or eight books a lot, the later ones less so.

I agree with Ronica...Feehan is one of my favorite authors. The Dark series is excellent....as is her Drake Sisters series and especially the Ghostwalker series. |
|||
|
|||
Depends on the age group. Some good series, however I would NOT recommend for young readers, are the Laurell K Hamilton book ( Anita Blake),the Sherrilyn Kenyon( Dark Hunters) Books, Katie McAlister has some humorous ones, Kim Harrison , Keri Arthur ........ Of course most aren't strictly vampires but have were animals , witches, necromancers, and others involved. |

I have to say Vampire academy by Richelle Mead!!!!! This will take you to all 4 books http://www.paperbackswap.com/tags/index.php?type_id=1&tag_id=138105 |
