• Thanks for the tips on The whole blow job thing. My kids love vampires and are not old enough (8 yrs. and 10yrs.) to read twilight yet. But we have friends that have kids old enough to read them and are now looking for more vampire reads. I will let them know about the BJs. I know for a fact that they would not want their kids reading that. Oh another question how old should my kids be to read the twilight saga? My 10yr boy really wants to but I say no not till high school. That sound good right, please say I am right so many of his friends read it but I think they lack the emotional maturity for them. I have read them though and loved them. (NT) -- BrandyC, 15:28:48 01/12/10 Tue
  • BRandy - just to clarify - the BJs are in the House of Night series, not Twilight. And as for ages, I think 14+ - esp. for the later books when the romance gets a little more intense (but still not explicit.) Hope that helps. (NT) -- ScarlettO, 15:42:30 01/12/10 Tue
    • Crap, sorry, I just saw that you've read Twilight, so you would know that there were no BJs. (Hehe - I'm just immature enough that I giggled at calling it "BJs." Sorry.) (NT) -- ScarlettO, 15:43:38 01/12/10 Tue

• If you like vampire comedy I can recommend 'Bloodsucking Fiends: A Love Story' and its sequel 'You Suck' both by Christopher Moore. I really enjoyed them. He also wrote 'Lamb: the Gospel According to Biff' which is one of the funniest/weirdest books I've ever read. Biff is Jesus' childhood friend. No vampires though. Many people have recommended 'The Historian' to me, but I haven't read it yet. I have a neighbor who loves the 'True Blood' series, but I haven't read that yet either. As an aside, if you liked Twilight, you may also like Stephenie Meyer's other book 'The Host'. Writing is better than Twilight and the story is good. Not very sci-fi even though it has aliens. I really liked it. (NT) -- MonicaW, 15:34:15 01/12/10 Tue
  • I LOVED "The Host". I enjoyed "Twilight", but "The Host" was so much better, writing wise. I think I actually wrote a reccomendation of it that's probably gotten lost in the archives.... (NT) -- Lady Stormwing, 18:25:22 01/12/10 Tue
    • I've raved about The Host here as well. Loved that book so much! (NT) -- Marg, 20:44:55 01/12/10 Tue
      • I loved the Host too. Really good book in my opinion. (NT) -- Gwen, 08:50:19 01/16/10 Sat

• I've heard the Sookie Stackhouse vampire books are good by Charlane Harris. The Historian was really good, but I wouldn't exactly call it a vampire book, though it is about Dracula...it is a very rich, slow moving, historical novel. I haven't read Bloodsucking Fiends, but Christopher Moore is a favorite author of mine.. (NT) -- FloraMac, 16:05:15 01/12/10 Tue

• You want adult vampire lit? Sexy stuff? Get thee some of the Brotherhood of the Black Dagger series by JR Ward. They become quite addictive! There's 7 books (so far) I think and please read them in order since they build nicely on each other. (NT) -- LT (Denise), 17:48:14 01/12/10 Tue
  • What she said ^^^^!!! *G* Also, not vamps but try Rachel Vincents Shifters Series (Stray is the first one) and she has a YA series "Soul Screamers" about a teenage bean-sidhe (banshee). (NT) -- AmandaW, 19:19:47 01/12/10 Tue
  • I recently read a very dark, sexy book called Shadowfae by Erica Hayes. Lots of vamps, fae, succubus and more, but be warned it is a much darker world than JR Ward. (NT) -- Marg, 20:46:33 01/12/10 Tue
  • JR Ward has the best Vampire porn I've read in years!!! (NT) -- Cherie, 09:01:13 01/14/10 Thu

• L J Smith has a series that has recently been made into a TV series - The Vampire Diarires. I read the first recently and it is quite clean content wise, with a good storyline. Kelley Armstrong writes excellent paranormal featuring mainly werewolves but plenty of other paranormal types as well. For a fun vampire read, try Jim Butcher's Harry Dresden series. Another good mix of vampires/werewolves etc is Keri Arthur's Riley Jensen series. (NT) -- Marg, 20:44:03 01/12/10 Tue

• I have to second Laurell K. Hamilton... her Anita Blake series is pretty good. Although its not vampires, I actually prefer her Meredith Gentry series about the Sidhe even better. (NT) -- Sorcha, 17:19:47 01/14/10 Thu

• I like the House of Night books better than the Twilight so far, I've read the first 3. I didn't like The Host at all. Loved the Brother hood!!! Some other authors are P. N. Elrod, Tanya Huff, Nora Roberts' trilogy that starts with Morrigan's Cross, Jennifer Armintrout, Jennifer Rardin, ....Those are all Vampire books, then there are the were-animal books!!!

• For fast action vampire lit try Jeaniene Frost Night Huntress Series and Karen Chance books-Carrie Palmer Series & Midnights Daughters series. They have action, love and some steamy sex. Kresley Cole has the Immortals after Dark series fun & good. Laurell Hamilton's Merry Gentry series is hawt-over the top sex. JR Wards books are hot too- you will find a fav vamp to fall in love with... (NT) -- AlysL, 09:53:19 01/17/10 Sun

• I read the Twilight Books and too was surprised that I liked them. Just another version of Romeo & Juliet I thought. The Host was better written and I loved it. Wish she would work on the sequel and leave the movies alone! The Sookie Stackhouse books are good, but no great literary writing either. Karen Moning has a series called the Fever Series...DarkFever,BloodFever..etc and though no vamps they are paranormal and quite exciting to read....probably one of my favorite series---next to Outlander!

• YOU HAVE TO GO AND READ THE AUTHOR THE STARTED ALL THIS FRENZY: ANNE RICE. Read the Vampire Chronicles, which trascend into the New Vampire Chronicles...she also has a parallel Saga: The Mayfair Witches, which begins with the book "The Witchiing Hour". This two parallel worlds merge almost at the end. And we have a Vampire-Witch thing...These books are pretty amazing...and Anne Rice's writing is mesmerizing, compelling, descriptive... She turned toher faith and wrote a biography of Jesus Christ and a sequel to it...and just started with Angels...I have her newes "Angel Time: Song of the Seraphims"...her writing is superb, no matter what she's writing abt... (NT) -- Ayira from Panama, 10:22:50 01/22/10 Fri
  • I agree. Anne Rice should not be missed. (NT) -- DawnW., 17:21:08 01/22/10 Fri
