Looking for good vampire/fantasy series.

[Taylor]

Yes, I'm THAT kinda fiction reader.

Most of the time im buried in non-fiction books, but I do love a good vampire series or a good sword and magic series.

Finding a GOOD on is hard...so anyone out there know of an engrossing series I could "sink my teeth into?"

Pun: boooooo!~! :nah:

Taylor - have you checked out Laurrell K. Hamilton - her Anita Blake series is an enjoyable read. I also recommend Kim Harrison(her series is about a Witch and a Vampire) and Jennifer Armintrout (vampires - based in Grand Rapids Michigan area - which I thought was hysterical) - found both of these authors by accident but SO glad I did - read both of their first books, was hooked and hot on the trail to locate the rest of their series' - have read all of these ladies books and have enjoyed them all. Unfortunately, now I am stuck waiting for the next additions to come out. But until then, if you have others to recommend let me know too.

BTW - a great place to get rid of paperbacks you don't want and get ones you do is www.paperbackswap.com (http://www.paperbackswap.com) - I completed the Laurell K Hamilton collection through this site and got rid of books I no longer wanted in my library. Which was a double plus for me ;)

A great book that I would recommend is called : The Name of the Wind By: Patrick Rothfuss.

It's a great fantasy book. This is the first book of 3 in the series(next 2 books arnt out yet) . Imagine Lord of the Rings meets Harry Potter, with amazing writing skills. I can honestly say it is the best book I have read. Check it out. ;)

There is a series of books by the author Mario Acevedo, he writes about an ex-soldier who was turned into vampire in the Iraq war. I have read "The Nymphos of Rocky Flats" and am stalled about half way through "X-Rated Blood Suckers". His books are easy reads and in fact seem a bit comic bookish to me.

definately look into the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer.
Fantastic.

Anyone read the series that True Blood on HBO is based on? The author is Charlaine Harris the series is supposed to be really good.

If you haven't checked out Anne Rice, you definitely should. I recommend Queen of the Damned and Memnoch the Devil, but you should read all of them. There are some hardcore religious ideas in Memnoch, it's a fantastic book if you like to be stimulated intellectually, while QOTD is just a thousand time better than the movie and explains the whole creation and history of vampires.

I cut my "fangs" on Anne Rice stories ;) - I admit she got me intereseted in the whole line a LONG time ago. Definitely a MUST READ author if you are into the subject.

Hey, if your big into fantasy stuff, you should definitely check out some R.A. Salvatore if you haven't already, particularly the dark elf trilogy and icewind dale, I've read those series a couple times, frickin awesome.
