Love bites. The characters in the vampire romance books below might know a thing or two about smoochingand biting. Vampires have always been fascinating creatures to me, and whenever I find books that feature them, I cant hold back my shout of excitement. Each author puts their own twist on these distinct stories that will stay with you forever.

My very first vampire book was Twilight. My dad was a Scuba diver and he usually taught classes so other people could be divers too. One time, a girl a bit older than me was taking part in one of his classes, and instead of paying attention to his lessons, she was reading a book. You might guess which one. Yup, Twilight. He decided to buy me the first two books, to see if I would also gravitate towards the story. Im happy to announce that it did work and since then Ive never looked back.

Twilight was a sensation, as we know. It definitely created a vampire boom that expanded throughout the world. Many authors were releasing vampire books and people were hungry for more. I loved the lore, the romance, the high-stakes (pun definitely intended!) circumstances, and the drama that vampires created. But nowadays, you dont see quite as many vampire romance books out there.

With that being said, what Ive been noticing is that you can definitely find more vampire-themed romances in indies. They give you such a wide variety of stories that you wont be able to choose just one. I hope we see growth in the upcoming years where dangerous vampires get their happily ever afters.

Holly Black is one of my favorite fantasy writers. She shows us in this book that vampires are very untrustworthy, dangerous beings.

In a world where vampirism is glamourized, our heroine Tana wakes up one day in the middle of a massacre after a night of partying. The only survivors are herself, her ex-boyfriend, and one vampire chained up next to him. Because of the possibility of being infected, they travel to the nearest Coldtown, a walled city where predators and prey live in an eternal party.
