Books I'd suggest would be: - The Silver Kiss by Annette Curtis Klause!. It follows the story of Zoe, a teen whose mom is dying, and Simon, a vampire who is trying to kill his maker!. They become involved, slowly, and it's actually very sweet in the way they look out for each other!. - The Darkangel Trilogy by Meredith Ann Pierce!. A little more sci-fi oriented than straight fantasy, I think, but it's excellent!. They're some of my favorite books!. Aerial is charged with the task of killing a darkangel (re: vampire) and then helping vanquish his brothers!. - The Anne Rice Vampire Chronicles are always there, and I used to adore them, but the later books (especially the last couple UGH) turned bad IMO, and they are a bit more sensual/sexual than Twilight!. I enjoyed when the vampires talked more about their lives in the past before they were made, and reading such intimate details about New Orleans is great!. - There's always Dracula! For a while at Barnes'n'Noble there was a display of books to read "if you like Twilight," so you could try that too!. Sorry, I love books and vampires, I tend to get wordy!Www@QuestionHome@Com I haven't read Twilight-coz i hadn't heard of it but wish i had-but a good supernatural series is the Fever series by Karen Moning!.First is DarkFever,then Blood Fever and Fae Fever is coming out in 2 1/2 weeks!.I can't wait!.Www@QuestionHome@Com try the morganville vampire series by rachel caine also vampire adademy by richelle meadWww@QuestionHome@Com Since you asked for no rude comments, I'll bite my tongue;-)!.
