2011+Term+1+when+vampires+called

**During Term 1, 2011 we decided to stick to our fave reading habits - reading books with supernatural themes. Vampires are still a popular subject of choice but they have now been joined by books about werewolves and faeries. And the vampire myths seem to get ever more intricate. here are some of our fave books and authors:**

__**The Mortal Instruments**__ series (Cassandra Clare) **City of Bones**, ** City of Ashes ** , ** City of Glass ** **City of Fallen Angels** Really different to other series - vampires are actually the enemy here. Still has a love triangle (Jace, Clary, Simon) Setting different - New York Mythology - main leader of lycanthropes (Lucian); Shadowhunters (Angel like quality), dark Faerie world Demon energy - flying cycles

__**Vampire Knight**__ (Japanese manga series)

Different - Vampire hierarchy more complex - still a love triangle Yuki - not quite Rose (Vampire Academy) Now an anime sewries on ABC 3

__**The Drake Chronicles**__ (Vampires) Characters are great Each book presents a different point of view (human; vampire) Romance with vampire hunter

__**The Vampire Chronicles (**__Anne Rice) Old fashioned - not about blood lust Mytholpogy - history of vampires - interesting

__**Vampire Academy**__ (Richelle Mead) Modern - epic love story - Rsoe/Dmitri - Adrian More changes, more unexpected - lots of action (moe than __Twilight__) - more twists Characters more alive, real and credible - stronger female characters

__**Wereling**__ Different - about genetics more than supernatural About a secret werewolf society wolf takes over hunam side - mythology and legend Complex - in temrs of shapeshifting- more about connecting with friends Highly/pack society of werewolves Girl - in between Bella & Rose
