This is for the wife, She has read Twilight and is a "Twi Freak" I am looking for any other books that may spark interest. So any help in this genre will help THANKS!

None So Blind 92 Member Since: 1/1/01 Posts: 11029	Michael Romkey's vampire trilogy - not as childish as Twilight, but does have a serious "romance" undertone, which may appeal to her in that sense... You have ignored this user.

croaker 3 Member Since: 6/17/02 Posts: 1367	Funny that no one has mentioned Huston's books (All the Blood in Brooklyn, etc). Probably because they're definitely dark and more 'guy' oriented Hamilton jumped the shark after Blue Moon. Her early stuff defined the genre for most, though You have ignored this user.

grafzep 49 Member Since: 1/1/01 Posts: 5571	Vampire$ by John Steakley. Carpenter made a movie out of it but it didn't even approach the greatness of the book. Steakly is such a squirrel though. Guy wrote two great books, the other is Armor a sci-fi book, that shared character names. Both still in print. Never wrote another thing. You have ignored this user.

I am Legend is indeed awesome. "The Strain" was a very good newer book, and the first in a trilogy. I have every Brian Keene book written for Lesiure fiction, and he seems to be going downhill. Urban Gothic just pretty much straight out sucked. But I have high hopes for "Teeth". Salem's Lot was fantastic. The Sookie Stackhouse books are surprisingly good once you get into them.

MikeD -  Seul - Maybe those "dead until dark" books that true blood is based on? I read all but the last one. I like the series, although it started strong and is well past its prime. I just read "Dead in the Family," the last in the Sookie Stackhouse series. This was the first book I've read in a long time that I struggled to make it through. I'm not hard to pleasure, but this was just a brutal read. All over the place...nothing really happening. It was ~ 310 pages with maybe 50 of actual crucial plot content. I hate to see a series that was so good initially plumet to this. I doubt I'll read any of the future entires in the series. At least the first 6 or so were really good. You have ignored this user.

It depends on what you're looking for. I wanna sit down, read something and get lost in it a bit. I don't wanna be taxed thinking about the vocabulary lol.   You have ignored this user.
