About this book
- [x]
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 demons―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.

I was introduced to this series on Christmas 2009. I began reading the special edition of Minion in May 2010. I bought this copy in 2020 and began reading it in November or December 2022. This was long overdue. For years now, I’ve read comments from people asking if Minion gets better, or referring to it as janky. I wasn’t sure what they meant, as it always seemed pretty solid to me. The version I was reading was the Special Huntress Edition. The SHE adds a couple of scenes and changes some...

This is the story of Damali, who is not just a vampire huntress but a Neteru, the likes of which has not been seen by the underworld in thousands of years. Surrounded by her team of guardians--most specifically seer Marlene who is sort of a surrogate mother--Damali's daily life is filled with fighting vampires. But something is different as of late; Damali and her team have encountered a sort of vampire hybrid...and it would seem as...

I loved the book. I'm a big fan of African American authors. I typically read Keith Lee Johnson, Eric Jerome Dickey, Omar Tyree, and of course, Zane. I've been picking up L.A. Banks novels for the past 5 years and just didn't purchase one. However, a few weeks ago, I decided to pick up Minion. When I finally got around to reading it, I couldn't put it down. I enjoyed it thoroughly. I can agree with some of the reviewers that the dialect is thick, however, if your accustomed to reading...
