Sunshine by Robin McKinley is my very favorite vampire book.
FYI, the Publisher's Weekly blurb makes it sound ghastly. Don't read reviews, as they tend to contain massive spoilers (which kind of ruin some of the book). Just go grab a paperback copy and give it a try.
Unless I absolutely can not under any circumstances get past the first couple of pages (girl with a dragon tattoo and agatha christie books are the notable ones) I stick with it for about 100 pages, or 1/3 of the way through. ONE Notable exception- Sunshine, by Robin McKinley. I tried, tried to finish it. I really did, normally I LIKE her books. I got halfway through and had to stop. It was too inane and prattling for me. I hadn't even heard of Twilight yet, but looking back upon it, that's exactly what it is like, Twilight for ages 18+ (and now there is a YA version of the book, blech).

Cheerfully stolen from Robin McKinley's novel Sunshine, which I am re-reading for the nth time as we speak.
