@RobinReads
@TLT16 HOLD ME CLOSER, NECROMANCER, by Lish McBride is a definite recommend for Buffy fans.

@TLT16 Sunshine by McKinley
Braced2Bite by Serena Robar
or
You Are So Undead To Me by Stacey Jay
Paranormalcy by Kiersten White
Anything in the Anita Blake: Vampire Hunter series by Laurell K. Hamilton
Grave Marcy, Boys that Bite, Vampire Academy, Hex Hall, and Morganville Vampire series
I'm going to *hopefully* be doing a post similar for the Sunnydale Project with movies, shows, and maybe books, but it looks like you've got a great list going!!
I second Paranormalcy and the Morganville Vampire series if you really liked the fluffy humour of Buffy and somewhat tame horror! Looking for a bit more “adult” step up from Buffy? True Blood/Southern Vampire/Sookie Stackhouse series is pretty good too.
Interested in paranormal strong heroines but vamps aren't a necessity? I'd recommend Born Wicked by Jessica Spotswood.
Now I have to go check out these ones that I haven't heard of, haha!
Most definitely Raven Boys by Maggie Steifvater
I like the Morganville Vampire series
The Mortal Instruments by Cassandra Clare
I have this sitting on my shelf, waiting for me right now!
