I enjoyed the Charlaine Harris Sookie Stackhouse series, but since reading spoilers about the last one I have put them to one side in protest as the ending is not what I had hoped for!!! What else can I read? Nothing that involves too much thought or angst..these are my guilty, no brain pleasure reads, any suggestions?

All the Ann Rice vampire series in which "interview with a vampire" is set.
And also her Mayfair witches seties.
They ate all partly set in the west indies plantations and the glamorous decaying athmosphere of New Orleans.

There's a Russian series that is written by Sergei Lukyanenko that is really good although I haven't read the last one yet as it has only just come out in English. They're called:

The Night Watch
The Day Watch
the Twilight Watch
The Last Watch
The New Watch

Kelley Armstrong's books was the other series I was going to recommend - I haven't read more than the first 4 though.

Another vote for the Anita Blake books, but don't bother with anything after Narcissus In Chains as they jump the shark completely (author underwent a bit of a change in her personal circumstances and the books got very, very dull.) You might also like Charlaine Harris' other series about the woman who can find dead bodies - Grave Secret, Grave Surprise etc. There's four of them and they are pretty good.
Also Kelley Armstrong's Women Of The Otherworld books are not bad - they are not specifically about vampires, but women with various supernatural powers and traits eg witches and werewolves.

I like the Laurell K Hamilton vampire etc. books, here Anita Blake series. I don't like the Merry Gentry series, that's terrible IMO - but Anita Blake is ok. She's a vampire hunter :)

see the film "Interview with the Vampire" if you can't find ant books. I know it's no t the same thing, but it is a good film
