i'm an avid reader and i am looking for more vampire series books to read i am reading alex duvual and i have read stephanie myers. is there any other really good books like these ones ???????????????

Have you read the Vampire Chronicles by Anne Rice... most famous book is Interview With a Vampire.
The first 5 books are very good...in order
Interview with a Vampire
The Vampire Lestat
Queen of the Damned
The Body Thief
and Finally Memnoch the Devil
Then on wards are different stories intrducing the stories of the other vampires.

yes i read them along time ago lol but ty for replying to me

Vampire fiction yay, I love it! Personally I thought Meyer's books were pretty useless, I never read past book three...oh well that's my opinion, but here's some books that focus on vamps that I think are worth looking into... J. R Ward's `Black Dagger Brotherhood' series (dark paranormal romance), Robin McKinley's `Sunshine', Karen Chance's `Cassandra Palmer' (urban fantasy) books and Kathy Love's `Young Brothers trilogy' (paranormal romance), oh and definitely read E. E Knight's `Vampire Earth' (horror) books and Barb and J. C Hendee's `The Nobel Dead' series (horror) and Poppy Z Brite's `Lost Souls' (horror) for something real original.

There are also plenty of other books I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to you that feature vampires in the mythology or are secondary characters or only sometimes take centre stage...Laurell K Hamilton's `Anita Blake' books (ok maybe hesitate a little, I've only read the first and wasn't that bothered but everyone's different), Kresley Cole's `Immortals After Dark' books (dark paranormal romance), Gena Showalter's `Atlantis' books, Nora Roberts `The Circle Trilogy' has a fab vampire villain, there's also a lot of romance and just one more promise : ) Amy Lanes `Little Goddess' books (paranormal romance).

I don't know if these will apeal to you as most are pretty dark, with at least small amouts of horror and some are very romantic and erotic but you never know...enjoy!

Hi hath you read the vampire academy by richelle mead or house of night p.c cast, kristin cast or the last days by scott westerfeld.

I haven't read any other series except the Anita Blake books, and I would recommend that noone waste the time and money I did. ( I got almost all of them, had to complete the set-very stupid). It starts off as girl gets bitten by vampire story, and then continues through her series of sexual encounters with practically every other non human character, vampires and werewolves included. In the later books it seems only to deal with her succubus affliction and completely forgets about anything regarding plot and story. Vampirism and sex are inextricably intertwined and we all enjoy a bit of sex but this series has almost become a caricature of itself with completely over the top scenes spread over chapters of the book. Bestiality also features. Yummy....not.

Try the Southern Vampire series by Charlaine Harris featuring "Sookie Stackhouse" a coctail waitress with a difference. This series has now become a TV show in America "Tru Blood" which will probably wend its way across the water! I also agree Kresley Coles' Immortals after Dark" series are also worth a read.

The Argeneau series by Lynsay Sands is a true classic. The series begins as pure romance, how each member of a vampire family meets their mates. But as the series goes on, gradually more plot is added, so it becomes as much about the storyline as the romance. Perfect in my opinion. Original scientific take on vampirism. And the males are so easy to fall in love with.

Single White Vampire...Lucern is a vampire. He write biographies about his family that are to his horror being published as paranormal romances. His new editor Kate is determined to get him do some publicity events, which would be a little bit of a problem but not as much as his matchmaking Mother.

Love Bites (Book 2 but set before SWV) Lucern's brother Etienne has a problem, someone knows he's a vampire and they keep trying to kill him. Not a problem except people keep taking him to the morgue. Not only that but he can't seem to get the coroner Rachel out of his mind.

Tall, Dark and Hungry. (3, set after SWV) This one's Bastien, a workaholic who gradually learns to let his hair down by the unexpected arrival of Terri, who's here for her cousin's wedding. As the wedding catastrophe's mount up, Bastien and Terri's not only have to deal with all that but a bitehappy cousin and a accident prone editor.

Ok so those are the first three books, the first two have just been republished as they were from a smaller company. The third is pending but the fourth onwards are all available.

In chronological order... (datepublished)

1. A Quick Bite (2005)
2. Love Bites (2004)
3. Single White Vampire (2003)
4. Tall Dark and Hungry (2004)
5. A Bite to Remember (2006)

My faves Bite Me if You Can!

Hi,
Do you know the Vampire Diaries series and Night World series by Lisa Jane Smith?
First book in the Vampire Diaries series is The Awakening), first book in the Night World series is Secret Vampire.
http://www.ljanesmith.net/booklist.php and http://www.nightworld.net/nightworld/
They have many similarities with the Twilight books, but they were written long before Twilight.

Ms Smiths other books are very good too:
About witches: The Secret Circle trilogy, starting with The Initiation
About special powers: Dark Visions, starting with The Strange Power
And The Forbidden Game trilogy (starting with The Hunter)

Another vampire book you might like is Stone Masters, A Vampire Reckoning by V.M.K. Fewings
(ISBN 978-1897370759)
You can read an excerpt on Amazon.com and check out the video trailer on:
http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&VideoID=39587921

For some very different vampires (and aimed at a slightly younger age group), you could try Demons of the Ocean by Justin Somper, first book in the Vampirates series (http://www.vampirates.co.uk/the-books/)

If you want a break from vampires, you could try witches.
The Sweep series (Wicca in UK) by Cate Tiernan is my favorite, and I can't help recommending it to whoever seems to like ya books with a bit of romance and supernatural elements. The first book is titled Book of Shadows. You can read an excerpt on Amazon.com, and find more information on http://firefairy.eve7k.com/
and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cate_Tiernan

Finally two (short) vampire series I haven't read yet, but which are on my 'to read' list:
Raven Dane: Blood Tears / Blood Lament / Blood Alliance (http://www.bloodtears.co.uk/)
Kate Cary: Bloodline / The Reckoning (http://www.katecary.co.uk/bloodline.html)

Happy reading!

If you like a little sex with your vampires try Sherrilyn Kenyons Dark Hunter series and Angela Knight for a twist on the whole vampire/werewolf/dragon theme.......i am a really big fan of both these fantastic fantasy authors and have practically all the Dark Hunter books.

I agree avoid Anita Blake stories, starts off quite well but her writing never improves and it degenerates into nothing but sex. Not that I have anything against sex, even a lot of sex, in a novel but it needs to be good!
I'd recommend the Necroscope series by Brian Lumley but I have a feeling that's not the sort of vampire fic you're after!
There's one I remember loving called 'A Taste of Blood Wine' but can't for the life of me remember the author's name, I think it may have been the start of a series too.

hi, here are some of the books of vampire romance that ive read in the last few weeks
vampire academy
vampire diaries
morganville vampires

for more look on my page
good luck in your search x

You should try J. R. Wards vampire series, the first book is
Dark Lover,
Lover Eternal
Lover Awakened
Lover Revealed
Lover Unbound
Lover Enshrined
This is a fantastic series, which keeps you on the edge of your seat, hot sexy men, and a fantastic plot. My boyfriend and dad read them too, and they said they were great.

You could also try Christine Feehan's dark series. really great too.

I would recommend Mary Janice Davison's "Undead" series, I really enjoyed the silly humour meshed in very nicely will a good glob of horror. Sink Lair rules!
Undead and Unwed
Undead and Unemployed
Undead and Unappreciated
Undead and Unreturnable
Undead and Unpopular
Undead and Uneasy
Undead and Unwelcome

I agree J R Ward books are excellent BUY THOSE, and maybe try Jaqueline Frank "Nightwalkers" and "Shadow Walkers" they're okay.

OMG I nearly ordered that series, pleased i didn't!!!

I couldn't get past the homoerotic/paedophile tones of Interview to move on to any of the others even though I have them. I'm pretty sure they are there as I don't see them in any other books and I am not a Daily Mail reader and it is not often a book makes me feel uncomfortable to read.

I read the first couple of Anita Blake but they are trashy. I didn't expect much else but I still haven't read the others of the boxed set I got because of this.

As far as I can tell there is only one vampire book worth reading and that is Dracula. I know it isn't a series but who needs multiples when one is so good? It also doesn't have to descend into cheap erotica of any kind - normal or weird -to keep it going.

Brian Lumleys Necroscope series has some great vampires http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necroscope will explain better than i can about the Wamphyri
Vampire World trilogy can be read on their own

* Necroscope (1986)
* Necroscope II: Wamphyri! (1988
* Necroscope III: The Source (1989)
* Necroscope IV: Deadspeak (1990)
* Necroscope V: Deadspawn (1991)
* Vampire World 1: Blood Brothers (1992)
* Vampire World 2: The Last Aerie (1993)
* Vampire World 3: Bloodwars (1994)
* Necroscope: The Lost Years Volume 1 (1995)
* Necroscope: The Lost Years Volume 2 (1996)
* E-Branch 1: Invaders (1998)
* E-Branch 2 : Defilers (1999)
* E-Branch 3: Avengers (2000)
* Necroscope: The Touch (2006)
* Necroscope: Harry and the Pirates (2009)

Anita blake books by Laurell K Hamilton
Cat Crawford By Jeaniene Frost
Queen Betsy By Maryjanice Davidson
Riley Jeson By Keri Arthur
Raven Hart's Vampire books

I am looking for some good fantasy vampire books. Not that intrested in romance (being a bloke), and more into fantasy than modern or urban style vampire books.

Does anyone here have any good suggestions, would appreciate it.

Thanks

Try the Darkyn series Lynn Viehl, fast action, not too much romance, inredible plot, dark, more suspense, than romance. Also the psy-changeling series is nice (Nalini Singh) but romance is 40% compared to the Darkyn's 20-25% compared to action/suspense/thriller.

jim butcher is fantasy with vampires involved but not the main characters, also the cassie palmer series is quite good as are the books by Kim Harrison. I agree with the reviews of Laurell Hamilton although the latest Skin trade doesnt have quite as much sex.

Vicki Nelson Mysteries by Tanya Huff, starting with Blood Price. A female PI working with a vampire
Anna Strong series by Jeanne C. Stein, starting with The Becoming. A bounty hunter turned into a vampire
The Sweet Scent Of Blood by Suzanne McLeod is the start of a new series
Dark Days series by Jocelynn Drake, starting with Nightwalker. Vampire/pyrokinetic
Blood Memories by Barb Hendee
La Vida Vampire by Nancy Haddock
Midnight's Daughter by Karen Chance

I also second the other posters on:
Sookie Stackhouse, Charlaine Harris
Vampire Earth, E.E Knight
Saga Of The Noble Dead, Barb and JC Hendee

Saga Of The Noble Dead by Barb and JC Hendee, starting with Dhampir. Is one of the better fantasy vampire books/series
