| | I just finished the Vampire Academy series, and I would love to read something else like it! - Kaitlyn | All the drama of high school, steamy romance, plus intricate vampire mythology, and a plot with deadly stakes (pun very much intended)—what’s not to like about Mead’s bestselling series?
Between the Lines
Like Mead’s series, my picks for you are action-packed vampire novels that expand on vampire lore. Although there are supernatural elements, obviously, the focus is on relationships (both romantic and platonic), and on the twists and turns of the plot (rather than violence or gore). Here are three more great vampire stories with an urban fantasy flavor that I think you’ll like! | | | | | |
|
 | | VAMPS: Fresh Blood | | Eighteen-year-old Dillon is shocked to find out he’s a dhampir—half-human, half-vampire—and even more shocked to be attending the elite VAMPS academy with a host of beautiful and supernatural classmates. | |
|
|  | | Certain Dark Things | | A teenage trash picker is drawn into a bloody war between rival vampire clans in this thrilling read set in Mexico City. | |
|
| |
|
 | | Youngblood | | Vampire Kat is thrilled to be attending the prestigious, vampire-only Harcote Academy; she’s less thrilled to discover that her roommate is a social pariah—and her former best friend. As the girls grapple with their evolving feelings toward each other, they also uncover a conspiracy at the school. | |
