Dormant vampire lover here, these are the books and series that really had me when I was going through my vampire phase
The book is and was truly better than the movie. If you saw the movie, still give the book a chance.
Vampire Academy (Vampire Academy Series #1)|Paperback
Waaaay different from the TV show (even though I loved that too) This is way more complex, dark, and fantasy/paranormal based. The show kind of watered the original story down
The Vampire Diaries #1-2: The Awakening and The Struggle|Paperback
Completely unique take on vampires, a lot darker in content and a bit more mature than twilight. Really enjoyed this series when I first discovered it
Marked (House of Night Series #1)|Paperback
One of my absolute favorites. It's more YA and doesn't have crazy explicit content or super scary imagery but there's something about it that absolutely sucked me in when first reading it and makes me feel such a nostalgic draw when looking back at t...
Blue Bloods (Blue Bloods Series #1)|Paperback
A bit more juvenile and a more classic type of vampire but I loved this series nonetheless. Def the stereotypical goth girl meets hot vampire storyline and vibe but it's cute and an underrated series
Vampire Kisses (Vampire Kisses Series #1)|eBook
Honestly was super surprised with how much I liked this book. It's dark and sexy and was way more mature than I expected from Meg Cabot
Insatiable|Paperback
Underrated series that I don't think ever got big but I thoroughly enjoyed it
The Drake Chronicles Books 1-3: Hearts at Stake, Blood Feud, and Out for Blood|eBook
Not your typical vampire book, but I kind of like the mix of fantasy and paranormal here.
From Blood and Ash (Special Edition) (Blood and Ash Series #1)|Special
Hasn't aged well, but will always respect it as a classic
Twilight (20th Anniversary Edition)|Paperback
Loved the combination of vampires and history here a lot different from the rest of the love stories in this list
