I haven't personally read any vampire stories recently, but they are a pretty popular subject right now, so I'm sure we can find something that you'll like better than Twilight. It sounds to me that you are looking for a vampire story with more action and suspense, and less of a teenage love story. I can look on Novelist to see what some titles would be.
Here we go...Here's one called 13 Bullets: A Vampire Tale by David Wellington. It's a modern-day vampire tale featuring a police officer vampire hunter. A group of vampires is committing several murders in rural Pennsylvania, and the main character must track them and stop them. Just a warning, though, it's quite violent.
Here's another, called The Blood Gospel by James Rollins, who is quite popular for his fast-paced dramatic thrillers. This one features a team of scholars who are investigating a sect of possible vampires who have existed since the time of Jesus and have infiltrated the Vatican.
If you're in the mood for something just as fast, but lighter, I can suggest Stray Souls by Kate Griffin, which is about a support group for magical beings--including vampires--who band together to fight an evil that is determined to destroy London.Do any of those sound interesting to you?
