A Goodreads user asked Charlaine Harris:

Thank you for following the vampire guidelines from Dracula and Anne Rice. Twilight was not a saga in any way. Stephanie's books The Host and The Chemist which . #4 Rachelle Mead they ruined a great series with "Mean Vampire Girls" not at all like the books h? Respect. I can't wait to see your series they better do a good job. You are #3 On the vampire authors. Respect and love. 📚♥🔖

Charlaine Harris Nicki, thanks; but from my point of view, since Bram Stoker and Anne Rice made up their own rules (based on folklore), other writers are entitled to do the same. There are certainly enough different interpretations of the vampire legend to make any reader happy, right?
