J. R. Ward’s new hit series The Black Dagger Brotherhood brings a whole new light to vampires and the adversaries. The main vampires in this series are Wrath, who is the King of all other vampers, Zsadist and Phury who are twins, Vishous who is the son of the Scribe Virgin, Tohrment who dies then comes back, and Butch who is a direct descendent from Wrath.
The adversaries in this series are the lessers who are humans who no longer have a soul. The lessers leader is The Omega, who has a grudge against the Scribe Virgin, who is like the God for the vampires and since the vampires are she people he tries to kill them.
The vampires in this book are the good guys in these books. They have a heaven, which is called the Fade and a creator the Scribe Virgin. They don’t marry like humans they mate becoming hellren (male vampire) and shellan (female vampire) instead of man and wife.
In this series no vampire can be made by another. The only way to become vampire is to have one parent be a vampire and even then it doesn’t mean that they live through their transition, which is when they turn when they hit their mid-twenties. The vampires in the books must drink blood from another vampire usually they take blood from the opposite sex. They can drink blood from humans but they don’t as a rule because they can’t survive on it. Most the myths you’ve read in other books don’t apply in this series. The vampires are the ones who are sworn to protect humans and go out into the night and hunt lessers down and kill them before they kill a human.
Do you like vampires better as the good guys who get the girl and save the world and sometimes can be the bad boy and good guy all in one or do you like them as the bad guy who goes around drinking human blood and killing them.

Twlight
In the past couple of month vampires have become a big hit when the new series, Twilight by Stephenie Meyers became a movie. More and more teens read the book but also are turning to other books that feature vampires as well.
In the book it tells about a love story between the two main characters Isabella Swan and Edward Cullen. Bella is the new girl in town and in her school. She’s the kind of girl who’s always tripping over her own feet but still popular.
Edward is someone who stays to himself or near his brothers and sisters but he is also considered very hot by all the girls. Edward can also read minds all except one, Bella’s.
At first it seems like Edward hates Bella because the smell of Bella blood makes him want to sink his fangs into her, so he doesn’t talk to her and keeps telling her to stay away from him, but then Edward dose something really drastic and use his vampire speed and strength to save Bella when she’s almost run over. After this happens Bella try’s to figure out what Edward is but doesn’t figure it out until Jacob Black tells her a story about werewolves and vampires. She confronts him after he saves her yet again and they become an idiom. Edward introduces her to the rest of his family but when they all decide to go play game of ball they run into some unwanted guest and one of them named James wants Bella for a snack, but Edward and the other Cullen’s make a plan and leave town, but James tricks Bella and makes her think he has her mother so she goes to him, and before Edward can get to her James bites her. Edward ends up having to suck the venom out of her hand where she was bit to save her, and in the end Bella survives.
Stephenie Meyers portrays her vampires her vampire very different than what we’ve seen in other books. The vampires in the book can go out in sun light without bursting into flames, but they do end up looking like a rainbow. The vampires are almost unstoppable they can’t be killed unless their torn apart by another vampire or werewolf and burned. They also don’t have to drink human blood and they don’t have to feed every day. The most important thing about her vampires is that they can turn someone by just biting them.
Do you think that Twilight is popular because it tells about a romance between two teenagers or is it popular because Edward is a vampire?
