On vampire books

I have been away from blog writing for a while. I needed to come because somehow it feels good to write here (although no idea why).
Again I cathced a cold and I am starting to get annoyed by my serious lack of defenses. I think I have been at the doctor due to flue and a variety of respiratory problems around 6 times this years (from all the odds! gosh!).
For a vampire lover I guess I have a pretty lame health. Not to mention that my eyes allergy is getting worse and I am really -I mean really- photosensitive.

My french is improving and university is not doing too bad. My academic life is spinning insesantly but no wonders there. I guess I will always have to fight with all my might to get things straight right?

Last night... or should I say this early morning? I finished the Vampire Academy series and since it so happens that I have been arond a year reading vampire's stuff directed to young adults I thought ranking and sharing my vampire experiences was a must, so here it goes:

1. Jeanine Frost's Night Huntress series, featuring Cat Crawfield as the badass girl!
There are currently 4 books in the series and I loved them! Whenever you get your hands on these books you cannot stop reading. The dialogues and characters are very well shaped and well: I am a sucker for a girl in control and a hot guy. Cat and Bones are the best couple in a vampire book ever!

2. Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series. As a matter of fact, ranking second I should place two series, which seem to me to be fighting closely for this place in my rank, but a girl has to make choices: right?
I love Edward. He is always caring and mind you but girls want to feel protected and a bit spoiled once in a while! Bella, in the books (I clarify because even when the movie was great for a weekend with no better plans, the characters there plainly sucked!) has a very peculiar personality that draws some strange sense of strenght and bravery which are always great to interact with.

3. Richelle Mead's Vampire Academy series. To tell you the truth I like much more the writing style from this series than the one from Stephenie Meyer's. Nevertheless, it drives me a bit crazy all this I have to save Lisa no matter what agenda. You will get me when you pick up these books. Currently they are 4 books, as in the case of my hot-hot-hot number one! lol. These books are incredibly fun to read. I like the races differentiation and I like its twists. Along the way the book gets a bit predictable but the way the whole adventure is told makes it comfortable and dynamique.
Amazingly enough to choose a favorite character here is quite complicated, as it is the case with the Jeannine Frost's series. Who will dare to choose from the Christian's sardonic comments, the violent in-more-than-one-sense personality of Rose (the protagonist), the exhuberantly male pose of Dimitry or the all too likeably cocky demeanor of Adrian? I certainly can not.

4. Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse series. These books saga is long... and on going... sometimes I feel there is too much filling maybe that is why they do not classify a little upper in this list. I like Sookie's always femenine and well composed tempered she is neither soft not a dominatrix hahaha. The Bill from some books really gets on my nerves but he is a good potrait of many day to day guys lol. Eric on the other hand... wow! WOW! He is mind blowing! I love his character and that has nth to do with the great looks of the character in the True Blood, HBO, Tv series. I had read almost all the books by the time the series started airing so I am pretty positive my judgement is not biased. Eric is not easy to like but the more I read about him, the more it catches my deepest sense of curiosity.

There it is! Now I also read Anita blake's series and as you can figure I loved Jean-Claude... not that Richard was hard to like or anything but I am just a vampire lover, what can I do?
The series has its very good moments. I like all this I am a paranormal detective sort of thrill but well... it has pretty boring moments and even when I like erotism within the pages of my vampire books... Laurell K. Hamilton gets too carried away in the last books... I have not read them all and I simply do not want to. Too much pornography, if I want to go into so much detailed sexual encounters I would rent a movie! I mean I have nth against the sex scenes but it got to a point where they seem to last forever and frankly I read for much more than getting my panties wet, let's leave that chore to my boyfriend.

Vampire Diaries, well, I like the decription of Damon, he is an idiot without question but I just like his physique. As usual it also engaged me the fact that he is a tormented bad boy; that is irresistible in a fictional character ;). On the other hand... well, I do not want to be harsh but these books are garbage. Nice garbage, eventually, but alltogether if I have the choice to go back in time I would not read them again.

There are also the books from Anne Rice. I have been reaidng a couple of them. I work slowly with them, even I like them they are not the kind of books which get me addicted and which I cannot put down until I read the last single word. The literature in these books is much better than in any other contemporary vampire books but it lacks some of that rush that the other series in my list do posses. Nonetheless, to be fair you cannot be a vampire lover and not read at least two of these woman's books.

I tried other series and got terribly bored so they're not worth mentioning (and I do not remember the name, honestly).

Ahhhhhh, so many vampires hunting my dreams!
