Looking to flex my brain muscles and getting into reading again but need some good book suggestions! I prefer something I can read digitally but feel free to offer anything!
Super into vampire themes normally but also totally cool with ghosts, demons, etc. etc.
( I think the last one I super loved was 'Interview with a vampire' if that helps! )
Thank you in advance!

If you don’t mind YA:
– The Mediator series by Meg Cabot
– Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas
And if you don’t mind a historical setting:
– Parasol Protectorate series by Gail Carriger
“The Rook: On Her Majesty’s Supernatural Secret Service”, by Daniel O’Malley, is a very well-written and entertaining read with a completely ridiculous story and a definite Men In Black tone. The first of four so far. From Amazon:
‘Myfanwy Thomas awakens in a London park surrounded by dead bodies. With her memory gone, she must trust the instructions left by her former in order to survive. She quickly learns that she is a Rook, a high-level operative in a secret agency that protects the world from supernatural threats. But there is a mole inside the organization, and this person wants her dead.
Battling to save herself, Myfanwy will encounter a person with four bodies, a woman who can enter her dreams, children transformed into deadly fighters, and terrifyingly vast conspiracy.
Suspenseful and hilarious, *The Rook* is an outrageously imaginative thriller for readers who like their espionage with a dollop of purple slime.
“Utterly convincing and engrossing — -totally thought-through and frequently hilarious….Even this aging, jaded, attention-deficit-disordered critic was blown away.”-Lev Grossman, *Time”*
“Bloodsucking Fiends”, by Christopher Moore. The first of a trilogy. From Amazon:
**“Jody never asked to become a vampire. But when she wakes up under an alley Dumpster with a badly burned arm, an aching back, superhuman strength, and a distinctly Nosferatuan thirst, she realizes the decision has been made for her.**
Making the transition from the nine-to-five grind to an eternity of nocturnal prowlings is going to take some doing, however, and that’s where C. Thomas Flood fits in. A would-be Kerouac from Incontinence, Indiana, Tommy (to his friends) is biding his time night-clerking and frozen-turkey bowling in a San Francisco Safeway. But all that changes when a beautiful undead redhead walks through the door…and proceeds to rock Tommy’s life—and afterlife—in ways he never thought possible.”
“The Historian”, by Elizabeth Kostokova. From Amazon:
“**The record-breaking phenomenon from Elizabeth Kostova is a celebrated masterpiece that “refashioned the vampire myth into a compelling contemporary novel, a late-night page-turner” (*****San Francisco Chronicle*****)*****.***
Breathtakingly suspenseful and beautifully written, *The Historian* is the story of a young woman plunged into a labyrinth where the secrets of her family’s past connect to an inconceivable evil: the dark fifteenth-century reign of Vlad the Impaler and a time-defying pact that may have kept his awful work alive through the ages. The search for the truth becomes an adventure of monumental proportions, taking us from monasteries and dusty libraries to the capitals of Eastern Europe—in a feat of storytelling so rich, so hypnotic, so exciting that it has enthralled readers around the world.”
