Interesting seeing a discussion from 2 quite different angles: paranormal romance especially vampire ones via Smath Bitches, Trashy Novels and Pharyngula.

Vampire novels I have enjoyed:
Sunshine by Robin McKinley
Those who hunt the night/Traveling with the dead by Barbara Hambly
Agyar by Steven Brust
Blood Ties etc by Tanya Huff
The Fledgling by Octavia Butler
Anno Dracula etc by Kim Newman (especially The Bloody Red Baron)
Nightwatch/Daywatch/Twilight Watch by Serge Lukyanenko
LKH's Anita Blake earlier novels
The Dragon in Waiting by John M Ford
PN Elrod's Lady Crymsyn wasn't bad.
There have been a couple of the Genre paranormal Romances which were okish, but not distinct enough for me to remember/chase down the authors...
Didn't get anywhere with Anne Rice.

Any patterns?* Suggestions?

* Apart from the fact that previously I would have had to have liked other books by that author before I would try the Vampire stuff. Less of a criteria now.

Ooh sunshine was great. And if Anne Bishop's sucubbi are anything to go on, her vampire novels are going to equal it. (They're on my next library visit list)
