The Hunted (Vampire Huntress Legends)

St. Martin's 2005 Paperback, 592pp. 'With 'Minion' and' The Awakening,' L.A. Banks broke new ground in the erotic vampire milieu, dazzling readers with her intricately crafted plots and unforgettable characters. Now, Banks returns with another stunning tale featuring the Vampire Huntress Damali Richards.' THE HUNTEDEach millennium brings a new Neteru, a vampire huntress whose mission is to vanquish evil from the world. This millennium's savior has come in the form of Damali Richards, a hip-hop diva with the heart of a warrior and an attitude to match. But a war in Hell has cost Damali both her powers and her past love, Carlos Rivera. Still, Damali can't let her grief stand in her way. Several gruesome deaths, starting with an American research team, have come to Damali's attention in Brazil. The nature of the deaths leads Damali to believe that the killer is anything but human. Unknown to Damali, the life of Master Vampire Carlos Rivera was saved by a most unlikely group: a band of monks also dedicated to fighting the Dark Realm. In exchange, they want Carlos to help stop the inhuman murders plaguing Brazil-and they will use Damali as bait if they have to. Reunited, Damali and Carlos give in to the erotic passion they have fought for so long. Together, they are a powerful force. But Damali has made a terrifying enemy who won't rest until the beautiful Neteru is dead. 'An exciting series.Banks fleshes out the rich world Damali and her friends and enemies inhabit, making it an even more exciting place to visit. Another thrilling tale.'-'Booklist' 'A terrific roller-coaster ride.'--Charlaine Harris, 'USA Today' bestselling author of 'Dead to the World '(the Southern Vampire series). (ISBN: 0312937725).

L. A. Banks

Minion: A Vampire Huntress Legend

St. Martin's Press 2003 Paperback, 288pp. 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. L. A. Banks is the author of the Vampire Huntress Legends series. She has a bachelor's degree from the University of Pennsylvania's Wharton School and a master's in fine arts from Temple University. Banks considers herself a shape-shifter. She has written romance, women's fiction, crime and suspense, and, of course, dark vampire huntress lore. She lives with her daughter and her dog in an undisclosed lair somewhere in Philadelphia. 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. Come nightfall, however, she hunts vampires and demons--predators that people tend to dismiss as myth or fantasy.

His unholy intentions have also drawn the focus of other hellish dark forces, and soon Damali finds herself being pulled deeper into the vast and horrifying vampire world. 'I highly recommend L. A. Banks' Vampire Huntress Series for use in courses ranging from high school to college . [My students] cannot stop talking about these works. Banks' writing is smart, poignant, and engaging. Students aren't able to put the books down. Each novel in the series brims with social critique and commentary . Students who engage in the work of L. A. Banks will leave the classroom with sharper critical thinking skills and a newfound joy of reading.'--Gwendolyn D. Pough, Syracuse University 'L. A. Banks's 'Minion' is one of the best vampire novels to teach in an undergraduate course, as I discovered through the experience of teaching it in my 'Vampires in Film and Literature' class. Students enjoyed its fast-paced story, its action scenes, its references to the music industry, and its combination of violence, love, and sensuality. The political dimension of Banks's novel through her depiction of the vampire council, and her references to drugs and racial interrelations, make this novel very rich in discussion topics that are greatly relevant to students nowadays. 'Minion' is an important contribution to the vampire mythology established since before Bram Stoker's 'Dracula.' Banks has written a vampire story that not only builds on its many literary predecessors, but also actually makes an important contribution to the genre. Banks's novel combines a highly readable style with rich, teachable substance. Her multiple-layered narrative lends itself to group discussion about topics ranging from the awkwardness of coming of age to representations of violence in the media and the legacy of vampire myths in popular culture (including the way her main character Damali resonates with the character of Buffy of Joss Whedon's hit television series). After reading an array of texts significant to the development of the figure of the vampire in literature and culture, including such well-known works as 'Dracula, Interview with the Vampire,' and 'Salem's Lot, 'my students cited 'Minion' as one of their favorite vampire novels due to its depictions of both a compelling central character and of a wide array of racial and social communities. Students reported being hooked by the story immediately and asked for the sequel to be read along with 'Minion' next time I teach my course. Student essays were enriched and class debates were enlivened through analyses of, and reactions to, Banks's sharply intelligent metaphors for political power and abuse of the social system, and array of interwoven cultural reference points. 'Minion' is also substantial and original enough in its approach to more serious issues to merit a place in an African American literature or twentieth-century novel course.'--Dr. Michael Eberle-Sinatra, Universite de Montreal 'We talk about the symbolism used in 'Minion 'and other literary devices the author uses to weave her tale of battle between the forces of good and evil within nature and the individual. We explain to the students that human beings not only battle the evil forces of their environment but also do battle within themselves in seeking out truth and knowledge. We compare 'Minion' with 'Beowulf 'and' Grendel 'to help the students understand how literature that is a thousand years old has transcended time and culture to tell the epic tale of the battle between the forces of good and evil in the universe. Pupils are able to identify with the hero in 'Beowulf' and, in this case, the heroine in 'Minion.' Students are able to apply skills of comparison and contrast, and successfully affix cause and effect relationships, to both pieces of literature . By using contemporary literature and novels, we help students appreciate the old works of literature and to see the value in all literature across cultures instead of viewing epic tales as boring or dreaded reading. Pupils are able to understand the values of courage, honor, etc. that are being taught in the above-mentioned works of epic prose.These are just a few ways we are using 'Minion' and 'The Awakening' and other contemporary literature to teach our students a love for reading.'--Shirley Person, North Miami Senior High School 'This book is one high energy, high octane ride. Fresh, fast and furious; the writing just . rocks!'--Susan Sizemore, author of 'Deceptions' (Laws of the Blood series) 'I highly recommend L. A. Banks' Vampire Huntress Series for use in courses ranging from high sch. (ISBN: 9780312316808). Good.
