Vampire books

Lately I find myself reading more and more vampire books. I love the Angel/Buffy novels and comics and really got into the Anita Blake comics. I loved the 1st of the Blood Books by Tanya Huff and the same goes for Twilight, the 1st book of the Twilight saga books by Stephenie Meyer. But for some reason I didn't like the 1st Blood Ties book by Charline Harris. It was more an Harrold Robbins book with some characters that happen to be vampires. I guess I don't like Charline Harris writing because I couldn't even finish the only Aurora Teagarden mystery novel that I read.
