This series is very good. While it doesn't get the love that Sookie Stackhouse, Lestat, Anita Blake, Buffy and countless others get, it is just as good or better. These books would make a beautiful movie or series AND have the most DIVERSE cast that the world has ever seen!!! If hope Ms. Banks brings these stories to Hollywood (or HBO or Showtime) and if she ever needs a script writer, just send it my way!!!

Up to this point I was liking the series. Now I LOVE it! The vampire huntress squad was magnified and you really got to see a dynamic that will leave you loving or hating them.
Vampire huntress Damali grows up and her lover Master Vampire Carlos gets a whiff of something. There is a lot to always bite off and chew slowly when reading L A Banks. This book blooms into a thorny rose that pricks you. It wants blood.

So we open up knowing that Damali & her gang are depressed. I'm not entirely sure why they're all depressed – they just kind of are. I think it's because they escaped from the tunnels of hell but Carlos – a vampire who none of them knew – didn't. This also really depresses Damali who expresses this by having a random vampire kill, just because and decides to have a reunion with an old friend, drink booze and spend some time reminiscing and being depressed

The first 2/3 of this book are great but towards the end I completely lost interest due to the fact the last one hundered pages could have been cut down to twenty pages or less. Also, some supporting characters are flat and interchangable. Even the main characters, including the Vampire Huntress herself, seem flat.
There are, however, several likable aspects of this book. Banks has two love stories, a young woman love story and an older woman love story. It's nice to see that in a More...

Sorry, I couldn't finish this book. I read the first two, barely and don't know why I kept on. I really wanted to like these books but there were too many problems. First, I felt like the author had no idea what street slang was or who used it. I do not feel that any of these characters would speak that way. Daaaaamn!!???? Just because they are in the rap/hip-hop music world doesn't mean they're uneducated. Maybe the speech was just dated? I don't know but that was my main problem. Seco

I am a total fan of this series. When I got the book from the library I was really excited. I was actually kind of made that "New Moon" by Stephenie Meyers was standing in my way of reading a more adult vampire romance story.
What I really enjoy about Banks writing in this series is that she gives you a little more information on the background of the characters and their history with each book. As the story moves along the rules of the vampire world are reveled and shows ho More...

I actually barely was able to finish this book...I was so excited to read it and then when I finally did I really didn't like it at all...A lot of it was way too gory for me...I'm all for supernatural and suspense and a lot of love, but, excessive gore, not so much...Fans of hardcore vampire stories written more so on the dark side of the spectrum vs. a more balanced approach would probably love this series...I'm a sensitive reader so if it's too much than I can't handle it...And this was too mu

I have to say I definitely liked this better than the first two in this series. And after reading the teaser for The Bitten at the end, I'm anxiously looking forward to that one now too.
Granted like the first two, the writing style got to me at times. Were it not for the fact that the characters tend to say a lot of useless and unimportant stuff, I might've gotten lost in the dialogue sometimes, partially because of the dialect they use—is it called hip hop, black, or urban street la More...

You have to give this series a chance..yes there is some hip hop language but this saga of books takes you on a journey. It brings in elements of good and evil, heaven and hell, God and the devil.. There are characters such as cain & abel, adam & eve and so on... Give this series a chance before you just say forget it...in the end it will be worth it..check out all 12 or 13 novels!!!!

This book is MUCH heavier and more complicated than the first two in the series. To be honest, it took me a while to get through it, because although there is just as much thrilling, scary action and steamy, star-crossed romance and the characters and mythology were just as compelling as the previous two installments, this book suffers from being too seriously aware of itself. The plot becomes more convoluted and over-complicated, feeling like it adds another layer that may or may not be necessa

Damali Richard showed a side of herself I wasnt expecting. The relationship between her and Carlos is so complex it hurts. There were times in this book I wish her team would of just stayed out of it and let the two work things out themselves.
The Hunted was a great action book and the plot was kick butt!!!!

I liked the first two books of the series enough to continue reading on... until this one. I couldn't even finish it. The series to me had a lot of potential, so it was really disappointing how much of a let down the third installment was.

They are good books but sometimes hard to follow. Damali is awesome and Carlos is one hot guy. Jut make sure you pay close attention to the books or else you will be lost.

Were demons and vampires, oh my. I think I liked the setting in this book more than anything. Beyond that there isn't a whole lot for me to report about it.

The books are getting better and better. Minion was very hard to get through - a really hard read. The Awakening was much better. And The Hunted is where I fell completely in love with Carlos. Seriously, that sexy vamp is the one reason to keep reading. Can't wait to read the next one.
Unfortunately the rest of the book isn't as exciting when Carlos isn't there, which thank goodness his story gets more and more time with each book. Without Carlos, Damali and her crew just doesn' More...

This book was really long winded. There was some interesting parts of the book that had me hooked then when the story line stopped that was when it got boring. I am glad to be finished with the book and am not sure if I want to continue reading the series.

This book had some whirlwind adventures, action-packed kick-butt scenes towards the end, and the interesting creatures introduced in this book (were-demons, were-creatures, and were-humans). Some were bitten, instead of sending their souls to hell and become as were-demons, they were were-humans. I had to take my time on these passages to get a clearer understanding of the transitions and their majestic powers. I was most intrigue at the every end, last 100 pages or so.
