Please suggest to me interesting Vampire books. By interesting I mean, something that really pulls you in, and you can’t seem to put the book down. Bonus points for spice, but not necessary at all, I just want a good read.
I’ve read Dracula but that’s basically it. Some YA vamp books when I was in HS years ago.

I like the Anne Rice books.
The Historian is also a good one, bit of an homage to Dracula.
Also, Anno Dracula is interesting – it’s basically set in an alternative reality where queen Victoria marries Dracula, and all the aristocrats want to be vampires. The plot is around hunting for (essentially), Jack the Ripper.
Edit: some more I just thought of
I am legend (very different to the book. Great read)
I’ve also heard good things about let the right one in, and Fever Dreams (the latter is by George RR Martin) and fledgling by Octavia Butler
Salems’ Lot by Stephen King
Live Girls by Ray Garton
Traveling Vampire Show by Richard Laymon (it won the Stoker award)
I Am Legend by Richard Matheson (it’s vampires in the book, not zombies)
If you want vampires, I don’t think you can go wrong with the Sookie Stackhouse books by Charlaine Harris. They based the True Blood TV show on them, but the books are miiiiiiiles better.
Interview with the Vampire and The Vampire Lestat by Anne Rice.
There’s the whole series but it really fell off a cliff for me and I never finished, and I just reread and love the first two books.
