On a recent trip to Target, I realized that one entire shelf was full of young adult vampire books.
Like most people, I was familar with the top shelf, the Twilight series, but I wasn't familiar with any of these other ones, so I took a close look. |
Almost all of the books are part of a series:
A. Twilight from Stephenie Meyer
B. House of Night Series by P.C. and Kristen Cast
D. Chronicals of Vladmir Tod (Vlad Tod) by Heather Brewer
F. Mortal Instruments Series from Cassandra Clare
G. Bluebloods Series by Melissa De La Cruz
H. The Immortals Series by Alyson Noel
I. Fairy series by Aprilynne Pike
J. Kissed by an Angel series by Elizabeth Chandler
K. Dark Secrets series by Elizabeth Chandler
L. Vampire Academy series by Richelle Mead
M. Hush, Hush series by Becca Fitzpatrick
N. Evernight Novels by Claudia Gray
O. Shiver series by Maggie Stiefvater
P. Eternal Kiss series by
Q. The Wicked Lovely series by Melissa Marr
R. Fallen series by Lauren Kate
U. Vampire Diaries by L. J. Smith
W. Vampire Kisses series by Ellen Schreiber
X. Thirst series by Christopher Pike
Y. Darkest Powers series by Kelley Armstrong
Z. Wake series by Lisa McMann
I admit, not all of these are actually vampire stories. Some feature werewolves, angels, fairys and other supernatural creatures.
