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?

The first 4 or 5 were alright, there was a lot of introspection and a little philosophy thrown in with the development of characters we were just getting to know, and the story was at least original at the time. At or around Memnoch the Devil, it got weird and steadily slid downhill.
The premise is that vampires in her books basically become asexual when turned but still get weird becoming connected with each other. It's explained but still, uncomfortable.
Anne Rice wrote the screenplay to the first Interview with the Vampire movie, and the books are set to the same tone. The Queen of the Damned movie was shit and made to cash in on the books. There are graphic novels of at least the first 3 books that are a little easier to read but still just as weird and uncomfortable.
