Recommended books

I read a lot. Recently, for few years, mostly about vampires and stuff. Here are some great recommendations.


Twilight series  (link)
Author: Stephenie Meyer


  1. Twilight
  2. New Moon
  3. Eclipse
  4. Breaking Dawn
For young adults and some older too. About human girl Bella, who falls in love with vampire Edward. Along comes werewolf Jacob, and we have a triangle. Ok its not as simple as that but it has an ongoing story for 4 books and I personally would like to read more after book 4 since thats when the thing everyone waits happens at last. Really easy reading and addicting.
So far 3, Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse coming out soon. They are also making 4th movie, well actually 4th and 5th, since they are making 2 movies of the last book to get everything told with minimum clipping. APPLAUSE! Good one I think. This is one rare movie series where sequals rule out the previous movie each time. First one was a let down, New moon was amazing and Eclipse looks so far to be the most amazing of them all. Recommend! But I also recon you really should read the books before seeing the movies and you will get so much more out of the movies too.

These books are still on going project. They start out from Dead until dark, the vampires are out of their 'coffins', meaning they have legal US citizenship. Our heroine is Sookie Stackhouse,blond waitress at merlottes bar. Sookie is telepathic, wich mostly annoys herself. Then she meet her first Vampire Bill, and finds it fascinating that she cant hear his thoughts. Here starts of the story and its amazing ride. Great characters and great twists in plots. So far ther have been released 10 books.

Tv and movies based on the series:


True Blood (link)


HBO started a series based on these novels. It slightly follows the series, but has great plots of its own as well. True Blood is worth watching even if you dont read the books, because the tv-show has characters that are only minor in books, but great fun in the tv-show. The series have allready aired 2 seasons, and 3rd just started. I hear they've confirmed 4th season as well.

Anita Blake the Vampire hunter series is also ongoing project and more to come even tho theres allready been released 19 of them PLUS short stories. Anita Blake is animator, who raises zombies for living for company called animators inc. She is also legal executioner of vampires, who are also out of their coffins in this series. Anita Blake series first book was written in early 90's, so this is ahead of the other series with legal vampires. As the series go on, Anita pursues relationship with werewolf Richard Zeeman, but the master vampire of the city St. Louis, Jean Claude, has an interest for Anita, interfears the relationship wich turns Anitas life around as she starts dating Jean Claude as well. During the series, Anita starts of as thinking vampires are just corpses that walk, but as the series go on and she gets inside the world of vampires and were-animals, she gains moral issues regarding her job. Whereas other executioners just kill without questioning, Anita begins to seek for the legal rights and treat them more like people. She also gains more powers as animator and finds out she is actually Necromancer. Necromancers have power over all dead and as the series go on Anita gains herself a vampire servant. She also gains vampire powers when she becomes Jean Claudes human servant, tho its not sure who is the master and who is the servant as the word servant hardly fits Anita. She also gets infected with multiple lycanthropies, and carries at least wolf, leopard, lion and tiger inside her. She hasnt shifted, but she has multiple lovers of each were-group. Anita Blakes are good reading but not for kids. After book 10 the series take a turn to more adult side, R-rated I might say, as he ardeur she inherits from Jean Claude boosts anitas sexual activity and needs.

Tv and othe media:


There has been talks about tv-series for Anita Blake, but so far there is none.
Marvel took Anita as one of their heroines tho, so there are Anite Blake comics available at least for the first books so far.
