Which vampire book do you prefer and why?

Haven't read Vampire Academy or House of Night. I have only read half of the Twilight Saga so I can't really decide. My favorite series with vampires is either Sookie Stackhouse series or Mortal Instruments! Both series are fast-paced, exciting and never boring. Another vampire series which I enjoy is Cirque Du Freak (13 books of amazingness)!

You need to go read Vampire academy! It's simply amazing! At first, I didn't want to read it since I read House of Night and many people said there similar but it's not true! Vampire academy is 100000000x times better than House of Night!

House of Night never seems to end and just gets really boring! Plus the writing is just horrible!

Twilight is ok! I think it's kind of overrated!

I never read any of those books but my favorite vampire books are the Night Huntress series


Renee (thebookroyal) I agree. HoN got dragged out too long. gave up after Awakened, which took me quite a while to finish.
Who in the world says that HoN is like VA??? the only similarities I see is that they involve a school for vampires and a female lead POV. And as far as Twilight goes, it was the movie media hype that killed it for me. I liked it up until Breaking Dawn. That was a crap book in my opinion. but the others were alright..


Karina My favorite is The Morganville Series! It is a long series but there is never a dull moment in Morganville. The author,Rachel Caine, always throws in little surprises here and there.I love all the characters and how they become stronger as the series continues. Love the action! The series is honestly addicting.
after that:
2.Sookie Stackhouse series
3.Vampire Academy
4.Blue Bloods
(In that order!)

I love what I have read so far in Cirque De Freak And the Chronicles of Vladimir Tod..but I havent gotten that far in neither, so I cant add to my favorites..yet :)


Karina The Nightworld Series is great as well but I am so sure the last book will ever be done or published.

How could I forget Vladimir Tod! I love ALL the Vlad Tod books! They're way too short though!!! I am always trying to think who I would cast for Vlad in a movie though.. (dark haired and pale male who has a goth look) The Slayer Chronicles tells of Joss the vampire slayer and is really good even though the sequels are not published yet!

Karina :O you were the one who recommended the series to me haha.
He has to be young too..That is difficult!

I emailed the author and I believe she told me it would be published in September maybe? I don't remember right now.


Karina I need to finish all these books I have so I can finally finish the series!

never heard of it! Anyone read shiver? IK it's about werewolves but ever since Twilight I associate vampires and werewolves together :P


Renee (thebookroyal) I've read the Shiver series. It was good :) and Night Huntress is a good series too if you don't mind the occasional graphic sex scene.

It's really hard to conclude a series.


Karina I always like a good ending, but yes it must be difficult. Especially since you want to keep everyone happy but cant satisfy everyone. I liked the last book. there was still action, rose was still a badass, it was surprising...and ill stop there because i dont want to ruin anything.


message 34: by Michele, The bookoholic! (new) - rated it 5 stars

Michele C (mcgxo95) | 4897 comments Mod
yeah alot of endings can be dispointing! I think I'll like the 6th book though. So far I'veloved them all although i thought the first 3 were better than the 4th and 5th.


Karina yeah I think youll like it! I didnt like the 4rth as much but only because Rose seems weak in that one..she annoyed me and I wanted to give up on it.

Michele C (mcgxo95) | 4897 comments Mod
I know what you man she seemed totally different and really annoying!


Karina I knew she wouldn't be able to face him without hesitating but I expected her to stay strong.

Michele C (mcgxo95) | 4897 comments Mod
Yeah :( This book also she also annoyed me sometimes. I wish she gave up on Dimitri :(


Karina HAha yeah me too. I always liked Christian and then Adrian showed up and I said "Screw Dimitri. This guy is better!"

He really is! Let him be stroigi who cares and then someone could kill him in the future! I wish she didn' heisiate all the times and killed him instead of Lissa doing it!


Karina When he turned Strigoi I was happy! Yeah I wish she would have just done it. Maybe then again she doesnt deserve Adrain, I mean she oonly used him!

Michele C (mcgxo95) | 4897 comments Mod
I didn't want him to turn Strigoi but I didn't want those two together either. Yeah she used Adrian and never really realized how great and kind he was to her!


Karina I cant wait until you read the final one!

Karina I know what you mean. I was going to get Bloodlines but I have about 6 books that I havent had the chance to read, plus 5 more on hold that i need to pick up by thursday and a few more that I own but havent read because I keep getting books from the library.
