definitely vampire academy with blue bloods, morganville vampires, and house of night coming right after
the only vampire books i've read was the twilight saga
They were ok... It was a good romance (the books are TOTALLY better than the movies), but I definitely think that you should read blue bloods!
^ i agree, but what is blue bloods about??

i'm to lazy to look it up, so no i did not, but i will
ahem...I'll be the nice one (cough cough Tori) and summarize blue bloods!
actually I'll just take the summary from goodreads and post it here because I'm lazy too...
When the Mayflower set sail in 1620, it carried on board the men and women who would shape America: Miles Standish; John Alden; Constance Hopkins. But some among the Pilgrims were not pure of heart; they were not escaping religious persecution. Indeed, they were not even human. They were vampires.The vampires assimilated quickly into the New World. Rising to levels of enormous power, wealth, and influence, they were the celebrated blue bloods of American society.
The Blue Bloods vowed that their immortal status would remain a closely guarded secret. And they kept that secret for centuries. But now, in New York City, the secret is seeping out. Schuyler Van Alen is a sophomore at a prestigious private school. She prefers baggy, vintage clothes instead of the Prada and pearls worn by her classmates, and she lives with her reclusive grandmother in a dilapated mansion. Schuyler is a loner...and happy that way. Suddenly, when she turns fifteen, there is a visible mosaic of blue veins on her arm. She starts to crave raw food and she is having flashbacks to ancient times. Then a popular girl from her school is found dead... drained of all her blood. Schuyler doesn't know what to think, but she wants to find out the secrets the Blue Bloods are keeping. But is she herself in danger?
Could those vampire legends really be true? Steeped in vampire lore and set against the glittery backdrop of New York City, Blue Bloods will be devoured by Melissa de la Cruz's legion fans.

I like VA and HON, Twilight was okay. And I love The Sookie Stackhouse series.

Same! I love Aphrodite's transformation over the course of the books. I still have to read Tempted and Burned.
@Mistye- You will love VA! Definitely one of my favorite series.

Has anyone read The Night World series? They are great. But I have been waiting for Strange Fate to come out of what feels like an eon!!!

Read one night world book. It has the first three. Secret Vampire, Daughters of Darkness, and...drawing a blank. They were pretty good though. Loved the last one, even though I can't remember the name.
I read the Vampire Diaries and I'm starting to notice a particular writing style with L.J. Smith. However, the TV show for VD is sooo much better than the book.

Joking!!!! Bahaha! That's ok with me if you have not read them. You should though!

Well, Chives, I'm not so sure of that, it's just a feeling. I feel like I've read it all before, like it's grabbed me before, but now I just let go of its grip, as if the rope became slippery and just slipped out. Who knows, maybe I just have to read it over again.
ok Frostbite. well the next one, Shadow Kiss, is definitely one of the best of the series. go read it...NOW.
Finished Burned! I'm really annoyed that the summary said Aphrodite was a pivotal character but she only got 2 (3?) P.O.V.s!

My friend has it in spanish. Ugh. It is so tempting to read it, but I must be strong and wait for the english version.
Erg...It's sitting on my shelf...waiting...must...resist...I don't want the series to end though! I'm going to try and reread all the books!
Blue Bloods is a good one. Vampire Academy is excellent. I'm actually rereading the whole series again. House of Night could go either way. It's frustrating at times but the overall plot kept me reading. Hope you enjoy them!
