Happy Halloween Spooky Readers,
If you have been reading my blog a while you will know I am a little obsessed with reading vampire books. I have previously done a post about my favourite vampire series. My little black heart can’t take this year, vampires are back and not only are they badass the don’t freaking sparkle. There is so much happening this year with vampires’ new books, movies and tv revivals I honestly can’t contain myself. I do think the second half of 2021 was a perfect setup with the release of Night Teeth and Blood Red Sky on Netflix. Talking of Netflix uploading all but one of the Underworld franchises hasn’t helped my vampire obsession.
Movies

TV
The Interview with the Vampire (AMC)
A vampire tells his epic life story: love, betrayal, loneliness, and hunger.

Vampire Academy (Peacock)
Vampire Academy follows the friendship of two teen vampires: Rose Hathaway, a half-human hybrid vampire called a dhampir, and Lissa Dragomir, a royal Moroi vampire. The series will take place at St. Vladimir’s Academy, a boarding school that doubles as a training facility where dhampirs train to protect royal vampires from the more savage Strigoi vampires.
Books
City of Gods and Monsters by Kayla Edwards
Loren Calla has only ever been ordinary. As a human
struggling to survive in a city that caters to the needs of vampires, werewolves,
witches, and other supernatural creatures, she always assumed her life would
remain simple, predictable, and as safe as her world would allow. When women
start disappearing, and some of them slowly turn up dead Loren learns that love
can make an ordinary person do extraordinary things.

Shadow Kissed by Rebecca L. Garcia
Everyone at the guild is on high alert, but no one will tell Olivia why. She thought it was somehow tied to the death of her boyfriend, but the truth is far grislier. Captured by a vampire named Sebastian, who insists he’s protecting her, she’s taken to the horrific City of Nightmares. As she fights to survive in a world where mortals are fed on or traded, Olivia must place her trust in Sebastian, if she hopes to survive. Can she escape the clutches of her destiny, or will she succumb to the dark shadows?
I hope this post gets you excited for vampire week and add some options to your spooky season lists. Who is your favourite vampire?
