Vampires have always been my favorite horror/supernatural genre. From the classic Hammer movies starring Christopher Lee (the greatest Dracula ever!) to the books of Anne Rice, there are blood-sucking adventures galore – stories to really sink your teeth into.

Celia: House of night series of course! :)
Michelle: Shade of a vampire series by Bella Forest 😍
Michelle: Bella Forrest even predictive txt lol
Natalie: Evernight is not a girl torn between vampires she's a vampire and she's torn between a vampire and a vampire hunter
shannon: Love love interview with a vampire as well as Bram Stoker and Salem's Lot by S.King classics
Tayja: The Moganville Vampire Series
Kate: What about House Of Night
Mariah: Another great series about vampires: The Strange Angels series by Lili St. Crow. It is definitely with out a doubt my favorite series. If you think Rose from V. A is a badass, Dru is going to blow you away. It's a great series that doesn't focus on romance like most vampire novels do. It's a series about vengeance (and a little romance). And they're unconventional vampires (but not in the Twilight Saga kind of way). If you loved the Vampire Academy series, you'll just adore Strange Angles.
Kimberly: A great series about vampires is thirst by Christopher pike
Floremartine: Thirst series or they go by the last vampire ugh amazing
