hmmm... i'm not familiar with the house of night or night world series. i saw the suggestion of the sookie stackhouse series (i haven't read the books, but i've seen the tv adaptation -- pretty cool so i reckon the books would be good).
but... long before vamps became sparkly and mainstream, there was anne rice. i recommend her vampire chronicles, specifically interview with the vampire (has a film adaptation with tom cruise, brad pitt and kirsten dunst). definitely darker and heavier than twilight, but i guarantee meeting lestat would be worth your trouble. :D |

Vampire$, John Steakley - hard to find these days, but pretty good.
Those Who Hunt the Night, Barbara Hambly - a very good one-off vampire mystery novel. I understand that Hambly did eventually write a sequel; I might even own it, come to think of it, but I haven't read that yet, so can't recommend the sequel in good faith. But TWHTN is really very good, and more accessible than my other recommendations. For more complicated reading, you might try one of the two Tim Powers novels involving vampires: Dinner at Deviant's Palace (a big award-winner set in a futuristic California) and The Stress of Her Regard, which manages to be both fascinating and creepy at the same time as writing about the Romantic poets Byron and Shelley. Really, anything that Tim Powers writes is gold, but those two in particular deal with vampires. |

1) The Immortals Series by Alyson Noel is a good series. They're short books, like most of these, but I really did enjoy them. It's like a vampire tale, but about a more independent girl, who's a junkie and a semi-alcoholic, but gets past it with her love.
2) The Chronicles of Vladimir Tod by Heather Brewer. Okay, first off, they're childrens books BUT they're really good. I didn't think I'd like them. I thought that they'd just be another teen-vampire-love story, but it's not necessarily a love story. It's about a boy who's parents died, and he's a vampire, living with his aunt Nelly. He's supposedly the Pravus, which is the vampire hybrid who's destiny is to end the human race and rule over all vampire-kind, and how he puts a stop to his destiny... that and how pretty much everyone is trying to kill him. 3) The Vampire Diaries by L.J. Smith. DO NOT WATCH THE TV SHOW! I REPEAT, DO NOT WATCH THE TV SHOW! The books are nothing like what the show portrays them as. If anything, they keep the names and the setting and vampire plot. The series is about this golden girl who lives with her aunt and sister, and finds herself becoming less and less selfish and more and more revolving around someone else who she's so incredibly intrigued by and falling for that she gives up everything for him... until Damon interferes. 4) The Blue is for Nightmares series by Laurie Stolarz is also a good book. This is about a girl, Stacey, who is going to a prep boarding school. She has two roomates; Drea and Amber. Years ago, Stacey had preminitions of a little girl she was like a sister to being killed. Her mother, telling her to ignore them, ended up more wrong than Stacey could handle. Maura was killed, where, how, and when her nightmares told her. When her nightmares start telling her things about Drea's death, she cannot ignore her dreams anymore. Even if that means her secret getting out. Even if it means losing Drea in another way. 5) Wake, Fade, and soon, Gone. What can I say other than that I love these books with a passion. They're about a girl, named Janie who when around someone sleeping falls into their dreams. Even the nastiest, most terrifying nightmares. She works at a nursing home (seems like a stupid job since a lot of the time, older people are sleeping) where she falls into this one guys nightmares, and always seems to be seen, seizing on the floor (an affect of her nightmares). When Cabel, a seemingly disgruntled teen, (really an undercover drug buster) comes along, she falls into the worst nightmares of them all; his. And to what do they contain? Her death. When it turns out they're not about him killing her, but how he doesn't want her dying, she falls completely and irreversably in love with him. But this is later affected when she realizes how her life will likely ruin his. |

You should read the Night Huntress Novels. They are extremely good and a little more grown up that Twilight and Vampire Diaries. There is also the Gardella Series, but stop after the first book. The rest are quite disappointing :(

I just discovered the Vampire Academy series and am throughly enjoying them. You should also check out "The Historian" by Elizabeth Kostova, and "Fledgling" by Octavia E. Butler (although that is an adult vampire book, not a YA teen book). Both are great!

I loooove Twilight and I recommend:
"Xoe" by Sara C. Roethle--witty, sarcastic, yet likeable heroine; hunky vampire love interest; lots of mystery and action...what more could you want. "Guilty Pleasures" and other works by Laurell K Hamilton--dark yet humorous, though I only recommend the first nine books in the Anita Blake series. "Dead Until Dark" and other works by Charlaine Harris--the HBO series "True Blood" is based on this series. The writing takes a bit of time getting used to, but it is well worth the effort. |
