In view of the vampire-craze these days, with Eclipse showing in cinemas, i thought i'd review some of the vampire-related books that i've read recently.

1. Twilight Saga
If you still havent heard of Twilight, you've clearly had your head in the sands lately.. hehe.. Just watched Eclipse in the cinema & it was quite impressive as a movie.. But as usual, it's not quite what i imagine like from the book.. of course the book was much, much better, how can you compare it?..

As high as Twilight is on my radar, i think it's not my no1..




2. Vampire Academy
This is right now, is my no.1 vampire series. Not sure why though, hehe.. but i guess i like the balance in the storyline, between the action & romance part of it..
Wah, just realised that they're planning to make a movie.. Huh? Ben Barnes as Dimitri? Noooo....!!!


3. House of Night
The first few series of this book was so-so.. but then the storyline picked up & now i cant wait to read the 7th (Burned) & 8th (Awakened) book of the series. However, out of all the vampire stories, this one has a lot more love complications to say the least.. haha..





4. True Blood / Southern Vampire Series
Same with Vampire Diaries, i've yet to read the books. But i heard that the books are pretty good, although the books & tv version are quite different. Obviously the tv drama is meant very much for adults viewing only.. Okay la.. can layan.. hehe..




5. Vampire Diaries
I've seen a few episodes of the tv drama, but i've yet to read the books. However, the few pages that i've read from The Awakening, doesnt sounds very interesting. Popular blond girl gets upset when the new cute guy in school is not interested in her? Duh.. Starting storyline already sounds boring..
Tv version, i'm not sure how interesting is it, but the characters are cute.. hehe.. will reserve my judgement on it first..





6. Undead series
I've read a few of MaryJanice Davidson's Undead series & it's absolutely hilarious.. I think i've read another similar funny-vampire-story-type, but wasnt as interesting..
