Top 10 Vampire Romance Books
The is undeniably something fundamentally romantic about vampires. They are at the same time powerful and dangerous, yet tragic figures. Many of the best recent romantic books have been based on vampires.
There several different kinds of romantic vampire novels, each of which appeal to a different kind of reader. You will find several of the best ones in our top 10 vampire romance books list.
Vampire Academy
What makes Vampire Academy different and in my opinion better than the other teen vampire books, is that it's set in a world that is much more real and gritty. Creating this spectacular backdrop is a testament to Richelle Mead skill as a writer.
In Vampire Academy two school going vampires: Rose and Lissa must master their abilities. Only then will they be able to protect themselves from a violent clan of Strigoi vampires.
I recommend getting the box set. The books are so compelling you will end up wanting them all.
Companions of the Night
Campanions of the Night begins when Kerry, a teenage girl, goes to the laundromat, at night to look for her brother's stuffed toy. While she is there some men drag a bloodied teen into the laundromat claiming he is a vampire. Kerry doesn't believe in vampires so she helps the guy escape.
So begins their steamy romantic adventure.
Sookie Stackhouse
The popular TV series True Blood is based on this series of books. In the books the focus is more on Sookie and less on the series's supporting actors.The books introduce many different supernatural creatures and goes into far greater detail than the TV show.
Though Sookie Stackhouse has plenty of romance going on it, it depends less on sex than the TV series does.
The stories are sufficiently different for any one who has watched the series to enjoy the books.
The Vampire's Kiss
In Vampire's Kiss Savannah's twin brother and his wife were brutally murdered. Now she is being hunted by the same monster. To survive and avenge her brother's death she makes a deal with a vampire.
He will transform her and in return she will be his mate for all eternity.
The Queen of the Damned
You cannot have a list of vampire books without the master of the genre: Anne Rice. Her books where made famous by the screen adaptation of Interview with a Vampire.
In this, perhaps her finest work, the vampire Lestat discovers an Egyptian queen vampire who has been sleeping in her tomb for centuries. Lestat's passion for love, life and music awakes and restores her, from her century long slumber.
Hollywood made a movie based on this book, but they mangled it quite badly. If you saw the movie, don't be put off. The book is much, much better.
Twilight
Twilight is aimed at the young and the young at heart. The vampires though broody aren't that scary. The books are best described as an easy relaxing read. The sex in the books are also toned down for younger readers.
The book is a great easy escape for a few worry free hours.
The books also have a more light-hearted comedic edge, which went missing in the movies.
