Fade Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Does anyone know of any books similar to the "Twilight" series? And that would be a good read? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Univerze Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Haven't read Twilight (and after trying to watch the first film but not being able to stand it anymore after half the film.. the chances of me reading the books are slim to none) but maybe series like the Vampire Diaries? Think there's quite a few series like it out there, young adult vampire books are popping up everywhere.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissy Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Bizarrely as the second person to respond, I haven't read the Twilight series either! I recently read , and truly enjoyed the Cassandra Clare Mortal Instrument series (3 books to date); 'City Of Bones', 'City Of Ashes' and 'City Of Glass'. They are fast paced, really well described, there is the range of relationships from long term friends to new encounters and love. If you like a touch of the supernatural without it being overplayed, I can thoroughly recommend them. p.s. Welcome to the forum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chesilbeach Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 I've read an awful lot of supernatural YA books in the last couple of years since having my interest piqued by the Twilight series, and I think my favourites for teen romance with a supernatural feel would have to be Shiver and Linger by Maggie Stiefvater (third book in the trilogy out next year).

Toneeh Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 I used to read Twilight, but stopped once the films come out. But here are some that I've really enjoyed reading and are similar to twilight (kinda): The Morganville Vampire Series (Really good - 9 book series up to now) The House of Night series (Really good, series that will have 12 books) Vampire Academy (Unsure of how many there are but have been told that they are good) The Women of the otherworld Series (I love this series so much. the Author is amazing. it has werewolves, witches, demons, although not a whole book dedicated to vampires.) Anita Blake Series (Unlike twilight, but has vampires in and is older. Would say definately PG13) Theres more books like twilight, I just can't think of whats on my shelf. I was told shiver, but could not get into it, but I would say try reading to see for yourself Hope I helped Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToniLianne Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 If you fancy something a bit different, but sticking with the supernatural romance theme you could try Fallen by Lauren Kate or Hush Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick. I recently read and enjoyed both of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toneeh Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I've read both Fallen and Hush, Hush. The above poster has good taste They're both on my shelf. You should really look into them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjzazzy Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Hi After posting a similar question in another forum, someone recommeded to me : Gemma Doyle series, by Libba Bray. Also, the Mortal Insturments (as mentioned) was really awesome too. j Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KearaLee Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Vampire Diaries, I've never read it but it's supposed to have had half the ideas in it used in the Twilight series. I've been told it's good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UCLGeogPhD Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 If you want something different and more serialized then perhaps you could try out a comic. DC Comics is releasing a monthly vampire title in September as part of its relaunch, and this looks like its going to follow in the footsteps of the modern vampire mythos rather than the older capes and castles comic approach. The book will be called I, Vampire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samsiren Posted August 10, 2011 Share Posted August 10, 2011 there are loads of good choices here - the Vampire Academy books are brilliant, there are 5 in total. Also the Shiver/ Linger books are brill and hush, hush and crescendo... But if I were you I would go for VA. The romance is fab and the action is amazing! these are my favorite books in a series by far! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
debboy Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 The House of Night series are pretty good, and how about the True Blood Series? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
