I loved Sunshine, and I wish she'd write a sequel but McKinley (one of my favorite writers ever--and she's on lj!) seems congenitally opposed to sequels.
Vampire-focused fiction is some of the worst stuff out there. UGH. Someone should take after Mark Twain and write an essay on "Laurell K. Hamilton's Literary Offenses." The only things I can recommend...there's an alternative history called Anno Dracula that came out about ten years ago that's fairly good in my recollection. And a Dan Simmons book (yeah, I know) called Children of the Night (bad title, sigh) that's also kind of interesting, though primarily because of its Romania-at-the-end-of-Communism details. But in neither of those are vampires Teh Sex.
