With little to no romance in them and a protagonist who has little to no qualms about feeding on humans or if he has qualms gets over it in the book/series and accepts his/her nature.

Try Mario Acevedo's works if you're looking for humorous vampire books. I've read the Necroscope books and the protagonist isn't a vampire.

You have narrowed the field down a bit, though with books about vamps this is a good thing!

Possibly Cat Adams' Blood Singer series, J F Lewis' Void City series, J R Rain's Vampire for Hire series,
Jeanne C Stein's Anna Strong series, Jocelynn Drake's Dark Days series, and Nancy A Collins Sonya Blue series.

And that's the closest I can come...

Oh well can you recommend another series close to that one please? I found Mario Acevado's style to be very amusing.

Does Celia in the Blood Singer series ever start drinking human blood because I really hate "vampires" that don't feed off of humans. JF Lewis is good though, I've read his books.

So do I but I think you might be interested J.R Rain's series Vampire for Hire, although the main character is a woman and generally not as ruthless as I would want she surprisingly has almost no qualms about ending a life if she thinks the guy deserves it. The only problems is that I've finished all three books and she only fed from the source once.

Maybe I should be more specific in my request though, for me the main requirement and one of the most important aspects of vampire protagonists is their predatory nature. I mean vampires should be required to drink human blood its just what the natural price should be for their increased strength, speed and reflexes, if they get around that by drinking animal blood instead it just feels like they're cheating. A vampire that doesn't drink human blood, that doesn't hunt humans isn't a bloody vampire.

yeah i agree with you as seen in the void serious there is never any apologisng for erics brutality and gretas rampant feeding makes them seem more vampire like and thats why i usually prefer male pov they usually more brutal

If you liked Mario Acevado's books, you may like MaryJanice Davidson's Queen Betsy series... Betsy definitely doesn't have any problems going for the jugular.

I've read all the Blood Singers and I can't remember if Celia starts drinking more human blood or not, I can say the author complicates matters by making her a second sort of paranormal as well.
There's finally a new Blood Singer book coming out this month, maybe it'll all come back to me then...

It is really wierd, I didn't realize til later that almost all the series I named have female protagonists. I don't know why.

In the Vampire for Hire series Samantha is starting to get more into the vein, more vampire-ish as time goes on.

In Adrian Phoenix's Maker's Song series Dante is very close to the type vampire you're looking for, but technically he's not the main protagonist and there is some degree of romance involved.
