It's not much worse than twilight. I didn't read it, but from what I heard, there's a child that grows up physically real fast that one of the vampires has sex with even though it's mentally only like 11.
Sure there's death, slightly homoerotic overtones, and from books 5 it kind of goes Christian (Lestat goes to hell and heaven).
But anything to wash away twilight right?
Edit; Another vampire book you may consider as alternatives or with The Vampire Chronicles;
The first is vampire lit that is short on romance, and long on storytelling. It's urban fantasy, post apocalypse(ish). Sunshine by Robin McKinley.
The second is a a one off novel that supports a much larger storyline in a series. It's set in a realm where an evil queen rules and men are slaves or worse. There is a fairly elaborate magic system. The story follows a group of misfits bought at a slave auction heading for the territory of notoriously powerful queen. The Invisible Ring by Anne Bishop.
Oh, one more. Wildside by Steven Gould. A young man inherits a dimensional gate to a pristine earth where humans never evolved. No one ever recommends it, such a shame.
Robin Mckinley - anything by her though specifically Sunshine. If you haven't read Mercades Lackey than you would probably like her since you like Tamora Pierce. Start with Arrows for the Queen or Magic's Pawn. Raymond E Feist writes another good fantasy series that has tons of books in it. You might even like the Robert Jordan Wheel of Time books since you like the Game of Thrones. If you haven't read the Ender's Game books by Orson Scott Card they are very good. Some classical sci-fi - Foundation series by Issac Asimov.
