Vampires leading normal lives

I am looking for literature that features vampires beings just like humans, living normal lives - and specifically something where this is the normal state of things, rather than something that only loser vampires do. *g* Bonus points if the vampires have no special powers to speak of. Normal people, they just happen to drink blood because they either have to, or want to.

(This request is really for my friend, who complained how hard it is to find fiction about either human sanguinarians, or vampires that resemble human sanguinarians as much as possible.)

asexual fantasy & social demons

I'm looking for two things.

One, fantasy with no/very little romance.

Two, stories involving societies having 'pet' demons/etc. for whatever reason. I don't want individuals dealing with demons for individual reasons, I want whole towns or affluent families who keep demons over the generations for the good of their society.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
