My Favorite Vamp Books


What would Vamp Month be without listing a few of my favorites.  Sunshine by Robin Mckinley is the best book and Constantine is the best vampire in all the many books I have read featuring vampires.  I've probably read this one five or six times and enjoyed it every single read.  Unfortunately, it's not part of a series, although fans like me wish it was. If you are looking for a great read, get this book.  It will hit you around page fifty and you will not put it down after that.

The Anita Blake:Vampire Hunter series by Laurell Hamilton.  Anita kicks butt.  I am going to qualify my love of this series up to about halfway through the current total of twenty-one books.  Books nine and ten,
Obsidian Butterfly and Narcissus in Chains are the best of a simply fantastic first ten books.  After those the series becomes more and more about erotica and less and less about what I think made the series great.

The Southern Vampire Mysteries by Charlaine Harris.  Thirteen wonderful reads and unlike many fans of the series, I loved who she ended up with and loved the ending of the final book.  It's hard to keep a series this long going strong but Charlaine Harris manages to make each book better than the one before. Sookie Stackhouse is simply awesome.

I'm sure you have some favorites and I would love to hear from you in the comments.

  1. Totally agree with you on the Anita Blake series. The first books are outstanding, the rest (especially the most recent few) not so much.

    1. It's really unfortunate. I still read them, hoping to find out that she has returned to her earlier writing.

  2. The Vampire Hunter D novels by Hideyuki Kikuchi. Though the English translations can often seem repetitive, the stories are action-packed and a tad twisted. Not to mention the art by Yoshitaka Amano is breathtaking.
