What about a book/series with a vampire supporting character? He doesn't appear as often as I'd like, but when he does, I can't help but love him...

The series is called Chronicles of the Necromancer by Gail Z. Martin, and the first book is called The Summoner. I am currently reading the first book and loving it.

The main character is a "Summoner" as they call him and can communicate with the undead (usually spirits/ghosts). The book is about him, however the supporting cast is very fun. He is accompanied by a bard, who is just awesome and his best friend who is a soldier. The vampire character appears later, saving a friend of theirs who joins up with them, and after that he starts appearing more and more. I hope to see more of him, cause he's really great!

One of the main villains of this series is also a vampire, but... You are meant to not like him, and I certainly don't. I love villains that you can like, since that makes them feel more... human, however this character is far from human! <3
