In L.A. Banks' latest Vampire Huntress Legends novel, Minion, there is one woman who is all that stands between us and the eternal night.

Here is an account of her legend....

All Damali Richards ever wanted to do was create music and bring it to the people. Now she is a Spoken Word artist and the top act for Warriors of Light Records. But come nightfall, she hunts vampires and demonsâ??predators that people tend to dismiss as myth or fantasy. But Damali and her Guardian team cannot afford such delusions, especially now, when a group of rogue vampires have been killing the artists of Warriors of Light and their rival, Blood Music. Strange attacks have also erupted within the club drug-trafficking network and drawn the attention of the police. These killings are a bit out of the ordinary, even for vampires. No neat puncture marks in the neck to show where the life's blood has been sucked from the body. These bodies have been mutilated beyond recognition, indicating a blood lust and thirst for destruction that surpasses any Damali has encountered before. Damali soon discovers that behind these brutal murders is the most powerful vampire she has ever met, and this seductive beast is coming for her next. But his unholy intentions have also drawn the focus of other hellish dark forces. Soon Damali finds herself being pulled deeper into the vast and horrifying vampire world.… (more)

Langdregin kynning á átökum vampíra og sérvalinna vampírubana en ágætis spennukaflar innanum. ( )

This story about a young vampire huntress was very confusing to me. I liked that it started by putting you in the thick of the action; however, the action made no sense. I also didn't get a back story until much later in the book and it was all too brief. I still don't know how this group got together or even what type of music they play. And how did they get that wealthy?

The vampire and demon hierarchy was way too confusing and I think my eyes glazed over a few times during the long winded explanations of who, what, and why. I do own some of the books in this series so I will continue on to the next one. I hope this gets clearer.

This wasn't a very scary book. At this point I'm not attached to anyone so they could all get ambushed and killed and that's okay. On the plus side, it was nice that everyone in this book isn't white; the diversity was refreshing. ( )

This book is an amazing start to a great series. I loved how you got all the back story within the first chapter, and then the action starts from there. The characters are real, and fully formed. All in all a great read. ( )

Some batty bat sneaked this onto my reading list. Sometimes violence, sex & demonic doings peppered with street talk and the like are fun. Sadly the violence wasn't particularly interesting and the dialog doesn't flow, no matter how hard it tries a la spoken word artist - the heroine's other job. There's a whole series, but I'm telling the bat not to bother. (December 13, 2004) ( )
