Some of the most popular searches leading people to our site involve the words “teen” and “vampire”. Vampire fiction for teens isn’t something I’ve written about much lately.We have a blog, Reading Bites, that covers that topic, so mostly I don’t.

But with such high demand for YA vampire titles and series, and the release of  Gates of Paradise, the last book in Melissa de la Cruz’s Blue Bloods series (and the extremely cool graphic novel of the original book), I thought I’d offer up some titles. Christmas vacation is now well and truly over, and spring break seems far away… this is really the doldrums of the school year. Vampires turned as teens don’t really ever get a break– their appearance forces them to live through middle school and high school again and again to avoid suspicion, since every kid is required to go to school (unless their parents homeschool them– a strategy I don’t think I’ve seen yet). You really never know who could be sitting next to you in algebra class. So MonsterLibrarian.com presents to you a list of books and series about teen vampires who spend their days (or nights) attending school. Some we’ve reviewed, and some we haven’t. I’m sure many of them are already familiar to librarians– knowledge of them is practically a requirement these days, just to answer the question “Now that I’ve finished Twilight, what do I read next?” But I think there may also be some surprises– not every vampire book or series is a paranormal romance, targeted to girls, or aimed at ages 15 and up. Check them out to find out what school is like in a vampire’s world!
