You might like to try Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles. I think she writes the best vampire stories of all time. She takes on a different angle in her storytelling, writing from the vampires' vantage points, giving them characters and personalities that you will grow to love and sympathize with.
Amongst my favorites from the Vampire Chronicles are:-
1. Blood and Gold
2. The Queen of the Dammed (don't be fooled by the movie, it was atrociously done!)
3. Interview with the Vampire (maybe you should read this one first since it's the introduction to the series. And the movie was quite well made, albeit a little bit of plot changing)
4. The Vampire Armand
5. Pandora
Well, I thoroughly enjoy them, and I hope that you will too. So happy trying!

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 Thornton Jones. They have some humorous titles like "Vampires Don't Wear Polka Dots" and "Dracula Doesn't Rock and Roll".

The Sookie Stackhouse books by Charlaine Harris. Her latest "Grave" book was actually pretty good too. I didn't care for the first one, but this one introduced a hint of romance (slightly incestuous, but so what) that I liked.
Sunshine by Robin McKinley. I will be among those mobbing her if she doesn't write a sequel. Not enough sex or romance, but the hint was pretty tantalizing. And that aside it was just quite a jolly good book.
The series by Stephen Spruill. Lords of Light, Daughter of Darkness, Rulers of Darkness (in reverse order). LOL can be hard to come by - I had to order from UK Amazon.
Savannah Russe is ok.
Laurell K. Hamilton is a duh, although her plots have been thrown to the wayside in favor of sex. Which is good, but .....
Witches: Kim Harrison is ok
Werewolves: Lori Handeland. The first one kicked Major ***.
Kelley Armstrong.
Patricia Briggs is worth watching.

Try ANY and i mean ANY book by Anne Rice, compared to Stephanie Meyers, is a whole different thing than just vampire infatuation. You may wanna try "Interview with the Vampire" Also try the movie.
