If you loved Twilight, then check out these five series!
A Shade of Vampire by Bella Forrest
The sheer number of books in this series makes it worth a look. With 80 books and still growing, what doesn’t this series offer?
Reasons to love this series:
- Angsty teen vampires.
- Supernatural royalty.
- Heralded as Twilight meets Avatar. (I dare you not to be intrigued.)
The Vampire Diaries series by L.J. Smith
L.J. Smith deserves credit for the books that spawned one of the most addicting paranormal TV series out there. With multiple TV spinoffs like The Originals and Legacies, her characters prove their depth and story lines can go the distance.

- Elite prep school for extraordinarily gifted, supernatural teens. (What could go wrong?)
- Angsty teen vamps, wolves, and witches.
- Mean girl jealousy taken to a whole new level.
The Casquette Girls series by Alys Arden
This is a must read for anyone who finds themselves charmed by the city of New Orleans and all its folklore. Local author Alys Arden brings a unique spin on the crescent city legends that only someone born and raised there could offer.
Reasons to love this series:
- Love triangles, backstabbing, hurricanes, and voodoo! (Need I say more?)
- Italian vampires and elemental magic rituals.
- Medici history that will make your head spin.
The Crescent City Wolves series by Bella Night
This debut paranormal romance series is steamy enough to make Christian Grey blush. Perfect for those who like a little extra spice served with their supernatural crush. Bella Night paints a dangerous world where supernaturals no longer hide their identity from the human world.
