Well, one of my favorite book series is has something like vampires in them. It's the Dark Hunter series by Sherrilyn Kenyon. It has a lot of mythology in it, such as Greek and and Sumerian, but has the added element of Atlantis, but it actually seems pretty believable in the context. It is something that if you like myths and lots of sarcasm, it's so good.
There's also the Katie MacAlister vampire books that are really good. They have sarcasm and lots of humor. She also has a series about dragons, if you are into other things.
If you want to know some more, I could come up with some. There are plenty sitting on my shelves.
