Are there any good modern vampire novels?

I used to love reading. I stopped though coz I was so busy at college... Now I want to start reading again but I don't know what to read. I love vampire movies like the underworld series... I also saw twilight and thought that the book may be good even if the movie wasn't. My friend told me it was but I might not like it coz it is too mushy and I am a guy. Is it? If it is, is there any vampire novels for guys that are set in modern times? A little romance is ok too... Thanks!
