The Society of S by Susan Hubbard

Twilight fans (and vampire fans generally) should check out Susan Hubbard's The Society of S: a compelling story about a girl who discovers her family are vampires.  There's much less hand-wringing over boys than in the Twilight saga, which gives the author more time to develop her protagonist, Ari, as an independent-minded teenager.  Even people who don't generally listen to vampire fiction should be able to sympathize with Ari's process of self-discovery, since the vampirism is secondary to Ari's questions about her parents and the society she lives in.

The narrator does an excellent job of capturing Ari's voice without being overwhelmingly childish, which makes the audio well worth a listen.  There's not too more blood, so The Society of S would be suitable for teens and adults alike.
