I saw she passed away recently. I’ve never read her books because vampires don’t really interest me unless it’s a very good story. Are there any of her books that are worth reading?

Anne Rice wrote stories of male homoeroticism for the sexual titillation of heterosexual females. Basically she wrote soft yaoi. If she started writing today, we'd call her a fujoshi.
I'd never waste my time attempting to appreciate the books, although I have seen Interview With a Vampire, and consider it a well above average entry into a genre typically populated by schlock: It's actually enjoyable, unlike the pure suffering of Twilight that a woman once inflicted upon my eyes and ears.
Look at Fifty Shades of Grey. It started as Twilight fanfiction, and then became a book that sold over a million more copies than Twilight did. It's not surprising that a writer might not want someone ripping off their work and getting rich quick off the back of their creativity.
The sex is incredibly tame in all her novels.
