Synopsis

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 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.

Goodreads review by Monica **can't read fast enough** on June 27, 2018

Minion is most definitely a foundation book. Plenty of explanations and detail in this one, but not a lot of forward momentum for the story. However, I don't really mind that so much if I am pretty confident that the following books will be more focused on moving the story along. I went into this on......more

Goodreads review by Kenya on December 05, 2010

I reread the book. Its still bad but its not completly bad! It needed lots of revision. She's not a bad writor its just the unnecessary hip hop vernacular, fist pounding, lack of action, etc. which destroys a somewhat good story concept. I'm going to read the next book, hope there is an improvement.......more

Goodreads review by #ReadAllTheBooks on October 29, 2010

I'd had this series recommended to me so many times that I've lost count. I've long since wanted to read another good vampire hunter series ever since Laurell K Hamilton's Anita Blake series started going downhill. I finally started reading this series & I just had to wonder... why was I even wastin......more

Goodreads review by Adrienna on February 21, 2009

In the beginning of the book, caught my attention immediately, as other vampire books have all this gibberish between teen-agers. L.A. Banks brings action and legends all in one package. What makes me excited to read this book, is to not only see drama in the first few pages, but AA characters--fema......more


Quotes

“[Minion] literally rocks the reader into the action-packed underworld power struggle between vampire rivals with a little demon juice thrown in... Cutting-edge wit and plenty of urban heat flies from the pages of this quick read.” —Philadelphia Sun

“[Banks is]. . .wildly creative and invents a totally new and refreshing milieu... Its social hierarchy and politics are fascinating, and the author's reinterpretation of the seven levels of hell is brilliant. Minion is an entirely delicious read, leaving the reader licking one's lips and wanting more, cursing the cliffhanger ending.” —Fangoria Magazine
