I haven't read them, either. I think it's because I started with the Black Dagger Brotherhood so now every vampire warrior book kind of reminds me of that.
The BDB is one of those series that people either really love or reeeeally hate. I was a huge fan for a long time, and I still re-read some of the books regularly, but I broke with the series at Book 10.
I'm hearing the same from some other fans. That they didn't notice any similarities. The one thing that might hurt Clare's credibility with the general public is that she's been accused of plagiarism before: http://fanlore.org/wiki/The_Cassandra_Claire_Plagiarism_Debacle
Kenyon isn't claiming plagiarism outright in this case, but the court docs do include an exhibit outlining the similarities between the two stories: http://www.courtneymilan.com/cc-complaint/1-3.pdf
