Geeeez!!! That's all I hear from my teenage Niece and Nephew.
Having read all of the Anne Rice Vampire series. I'll have to admit, I recently finished reading the Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris. It was actually pretty good and very interesting. You check it out if you haven't read it yet.
If you want a good read, I highly recommend the Bartimaeus Trilogy by Jonathan Stroud. Once you start reading this book, I promise you, you will not be able to put it down and the only thing that you'll hate about it is that there's only 3 books.
Kind regards,
