Twilight

by Stephenie Meyer

I mean, duh. A twilight re-read is in order to help prep for the new book. And if its your first time picking up this classic I have two things to say to you. One, where have you been? And two, welcome and prepare yourself for a love-story for the ages!

The Coldest Girl in Coldtown

by Holly Black

You may know Holly’s faerie tales (if you don’t, do yourself a favor and get on that), but she has also explored the world of vampires! But unlike in Twilight, this book is set in a world where the existence of vampires is known and even the fodder of reality tv. They’ve been quarantined behind walled cities known as Coldtowns. And once you enter a Coldtown, you can never leave. When Tana wakes up after a perfectly ordinary party surrounded by corpses, she must enter a race against the clock to save herself and the only other survivors, her annoyingly disarming ex and a mysterious boy with dark secrets – by going straight to the wicked, opulent heart of Coldtown itself.

Marked

by P. C. Cast and Kristin Cast

Cirque du Freak

by Darren Shan

Less romantic, more horror-centric, Cirque du Freak is another YA vampire classic about one boy’s descent into the bloody world of vampires. When Darren and his best friend Steve get tickets to the wonderfully gothic freak show, Cirque Du Freak, little could Darren know that their night out would be more than just that. Steve recognizes one of the performers, Mr. Crepsly, is a vampire, and confronts him with a disturbing plea. Darren is pulled along into the monstrous maw of the vampire underworld
