Caridad Peneiro's "Danger Calls" series isn't bad if you like vampires. It's modern, if a little romance-y.

Let Me In by John Ajvide Lindqvist. I enjoyed the movie, and have read good reviews about the novel. It is on my list of things to read...eventually.

Guardians of Eternity series by Alexandra Ivy. I loved it!

I took the one less traveled by,

I haven't read them, either and I watched only the first movie. I may read the series someday.

The Swedish movie was so good. I didn't see the American version. I wanted to read this book as well. Forgot all about it, but the film was excellent!

I liked the American version, but I'm sure the Swedish version was better at sticking to the story line. I haven't seen that version.

I'm reading a vampire book called Blood Orange Soda right now. So far, it's really good. Will update when I am finished. If I remember.

Total agreement! Christopher Moore is an awesome comedy writer who twists the whole vampire mythology into a modern-day universe full of dry and sarcastic wit. Not necessarily what I would recommend if you're looking for something along the lines of Anne Rice or even Stephanie Meyer, but damn good for a fun beach read.

I would definitely have to suggest the Twilight series. Vampires are the central topic in that one and it is a fantastic story. Its one of the only series that I can read over and over again and it is still one of my favorite books. There are also vampires in the City of Bones series, but I wouldn't say they are central in the story until the second or third book. I hope this is helpful.

I'm still standing with the Guardians of Eternity series by Alexandra Ivy. There are other supernatural beings in the books but there's always a vampire, too.

I'm reading one now called "The Raven" by Sylvain Reynard. It's over 400 pages long (on a reader) and I'm almost half way through it and it hasn't come right out and said that he's a vampire but I know he is. He's a prince and everybody calls him that and he's centuries old. But the unique thing about him is he can withstand the daylight. He really hasn't done it thus far but the story is moving along pretty well and I'm sure I'll eventually find out what his real name is and a few other things. It's a vampire mystery with a twist of romance in it.

It's a pretty good book. :)

The Raven by Sylvain Reynald.

I just finished it this morning and wow, what a read! A vampire prince and a disabled human woman mixed with mystery and intrigue. It was amazing. I haven't had a book captivate me like this one did in a long time.

Thanks for this recommendation! I'm going to add this to my TBR list! I've read Sylvain Reynard - Gabriel's Inferno books and they were really good. Didn't know she wrote paranormal, probably wouldn't have without your post. :happy-wavemulticolor:

I'm going to get the Gabriel's Inferno series when I can.

I thought Sylvain Reynald was a guy..?
