Answer 1

Check out these:
Dracula by Bram Stoker: The vampire classic.

Mina by Marie Kiraly: In this haunting sequel to Bram Stoker's classic Dracula, the dark prince's most famous mistress tells her story. On the brink of becoming one of the Undead, Mina Harker was saved by a stake driven through Dracula's heart. Mina tries to return to the mortal world, but after feeling Dracula's undying passion, can she go back to an ordinary marriage?

The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova: a novel about a quest, reaching through the past five centuries, for the historical Dracula.
While nominally a modern re-telling of the Dracula story, The Historian delves deeply into the nature of history and its relevance to today's world, as well as serving as a cautionary tale on the historical antagonism between Western Civilization and Islam.

Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles: a series of novels that revolves around the fictional character Lestat de Lioncourt, a French nobleman made into a vampire in the 18th century.

Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake series: Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter is a series of dark fantasy novels by Laurell K. Hamilton, narrated in first person, hard-boiled detective style by the title character, Anita Blake. Anita lives in a fictional Saint Louis much like our own, save that, not only are things like vampires and shapeshifters real, but everyone knows that they're real and they are considered citizens of America, much like normal humans. The novels follow Anita's ongoing conflicts with the supernatural as she attempts to solve a variety of supernatural mysteries, come to grips with her own abilities, and navigate an increasingly complex series of romantic and political relationships.

Kim Harrison's Rachel Morgan series: This series is set in an alternate history where a worldwide pandemic caused by genetically modified tomatoes led to the death of a large portion of the world's human population. At that point, the hidden "Inderlanders," creatures such as witches, werewolves, vampires, and more, came forward and revealed their existence to the world.

Jim Butcher's Harry Dresden series: Each novel in the series is told from the fictional perspective of Harry Blackstone Copperfield Dresden (named by his father after Harry Houdini, Harry Blackstone, Sr., and David Copperfield). Dresden is the only professional wizard in modern-day Chicago (he is in the phone book, under "Wizards").
Butcher's original proposed title for the first novel was "Semiautomagic", a title that sums up the series' balance of fantasy and hard-boiled detective fiction. In the world of The Dresden Files, magic is real, along with vampires, demons, spirits, faeries, werewolves, and more. The general public that Harry Dresden works to protect does not believe in magic or the large array of dark forces which regularly conspire against them. This makes it tough for Harry to get by as a working wizard and private eye. Fortunately, the Chicago PD's Special Investigation unit led by Lt. Karrin Murphy regularly employs Dresden to help solve cases of a supernatural nature.

Sweetblood by Pete Hautman: A Young Adult novel where Lucy Szabo, a 16-year old diabetic, has lived with her disease ever since she was bitten by a bat years ago. However, she has a theory on her condition: centuries ago, when diabetes was not recognized as a disease and insulin did not exist, the suffering diabetics were the first actual vampires.

Midnight's Choice by Kate Thompson: second in a Young Adult trilogy about children who can shapeshift into any animal, real or imaginary, living or undead.

Companions of the night by Vivian Vande Velde: In this Young Adult novel, when Kerry Nowicki goes to the laundromat at 11PM to retrieve her little brother's teddy bear, she sees three men drag in a young man they insist is a vampire. Kerry helps the bloodied man escape, then finds herself pursued by the vampire hunters as well. When her father and brother are kidnapped, she must turn to the vampire for help--and finds herself falling in love.

If you just want to kill some time and have some fun reverting back to childhood, check out The Bailey School Kids series by Debbie Dadey and Marcia Thronton Jones. They have some humorous titles like "Vampires Don't Wear Polka Dots," "Werewolves Don't Go to Summer Camp," and "Dracula Doesn't Rock and Roll".

Answer 2

You might try Sherrilyn Kenyon's Dark Hunter series. Dark Hunters are immortals without souls that are charged with keeping humans safe from Daimons (vampires). There's some Greek mythology thrown in and nice love stories, though they aren't teens.

No one mentioned Twilight yet, which I find surprising. Sounds like this is right up your alley. There's a sequel, New Moon, and a third book that will come out. I read the first and it was pretty good.

Laurell Hamilton's series is really good early on; later in the series it's more sexual than having much of a plot, and the sex isn't about love.

There's a series by Mary Janice Davidson-Queen of the Vampires, where most of the books have the word "undead" as part of the title. They are top sellers and have pretty decent reviews, though I've never read one myself. I sell on-line and have had a few posted, but they sell too quick for me to read prior to mailing them. The site below is one of the books. You can get copies of the others from Amazon.com as well, or try www.fetchbook.info to see what sites have what books and for how much. Sometimes on eBay you can find a lot, which saves on shipping.

And yes, you can always go to your local library. :)

Answer 3

The latestest triology from Nora Roberts:
1 Morrigan's Cross;
2 Dance of the gods;
3 Valley of Silence.

I thought these books were really good and if you read them I hope you enjoy them too.
They can be found at any bookstores that sell novels or you could order off the website.

Answer 4

The Blood Countess is a "vampire" book based on the real life Countess Elizabeth Bathory who would bathe and drink the blood of virgins to keep up her looks.

I liked it because it is based on a real person...Author is Andrei Codrescu. Publisher: Simon and Schuster

Answer 5

Sunshine by Robin McKinley
The Vampire Kiss books by LJ Smith
The Last Vampire books by Christopher Pike
The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova (long, but good)
The Silver Kiss by Annette Curtis Klause (who also wrote Blood and Chocolate)

The Blood Countess is good, too. McKinley is one of my favorite authors -- I suggest hers first.

Anne Rice has good stories, but they are buried under mountains of superfluous description. Read hers if you like long, overwritten books that are short on plot and action.

Answer 6

'Carrion Comfort' by Dan Simmons

'I am Legend' by Richard Matheson (probably the best vampire story in a long, LONG time; sorry, not much love in here)

'Under the fang' a collection of short stories with the premise: what would happen if the world were dominated by vampires?

Answer 7

Tanith Lee's Blood Opera Trilogy (Dark Dance, Personal Darkness, and Darkness, I) are good vampire books. They're a bit difficult to read, but I find that I prefer these to Anne Rice's. ;P

Answer 8

try reading the series of interview with a vampire.. good books.

Answer 9

The book is 'Transilvania temple of Vampires'

Answer 10

I've a feeling you might like the Dhampir series. :-)
