YAAlex Van Helsing series.
Alex is a descendant of a great vampire-hunter line. He doesn't believe the stories until vampires start attacking people around his boarding school. Alex must then choose whether to follow the family tradition and save his friends or leave it all behind. Suspension of disbelief is difficult at times, but the combination of occult and hi-tech gadgetry may entice readers.
