So, the saga continues. What left me hanging in the 1st book, turned out to make the 2nd book better than the 1st. Of course, you are still left hanging, because you know there is a 3rd book.
The Damali-Carlos union is definitley not over. Poor Carlos. You really do want this guy to be the good guy and maybe he will, master-vamp, or not.
But what about the detective? The epilogue sure makes you think he may be a vamp, too. Hmmmm.........
The book is good and I'll definitley move on to the next on...more

I was really hesitant to read the first book in the series ("Minion") and found it to be really slow and uninteresting in the beginning but it picked up in the end. This book did not have the same problem. I was hooked from the start. I like how Banks provided a little bit of a reminder of what happened in the first book (not that I needed it). But even that had me hooked.

In "The Awakening", Banks continues to build on the world that she has created, and it is very complex. Which is good and b...more

I’m including a spoiler line below because if you haven’t yet read the first book in the series, my summary below will include many spoilers from that book for you.

*********Spoilers Below - Read book One in the series before continuing*********

The first book ended with Carlos’s transformation into a vampire. He learned from Nuit that the vampires had been supporting his illegal dealings for years. But he has also met with the vampire counsel and committed to bringing both Nuit and Damali to their separate destinies in exchange for the rank of vampire Master. While he took in all of these changes in stride, he is not without his own agenda.

This book begins with Carlos’s realization of who and what Damali really is, and he is in awe. He strikes a deal with the council and begins his tour of the levels of Hell. Eventually Carlos is reunited with his family and friends who had been transformed before he was. The more he learns about his new life, the more he developes a plan in his mind.

Carlos resigns himself to facing Damali on her own turf. Although it isn’t immediately evident to Damali and her Guardians that he is no longer human, they very quickly learn the truth. The mystery of the visit is the fact that Carlos is actually helping them. He doesn’t attack any of the group, nor does he tell them anything but the absolute truth. Whose side is he on?

With Carlos’s help, Damali’s team begins plotting a defense against Nuit’s plans for the international concert. Everything hinges on Damali’s choices during the changes she’ll be going through after her 21st birthday. Will she continue to make the right choices? Will she pursue Carlos? Can his soul be saved? There is a plethora of new questions raised in this episode of story.

This book seemed like the second half of the first book rather than a complete book on its own; the whole thing takes place in about 24 hours. It was nice to get some answers after Minion ended so abruptly, and this installment did clear up many of the open storylines from the first book. It also spent more time elaborating on Damali and Carlos’s feelings for each other, which I liked a lot because it gave more credence to the difficulties Damali will face in the future when it comes to Carlos and their relationship. It’s definitely an interesting story, but there are a couple things that still don’t sit quite right with me.

I have the same complaint I had with the first book… that Damali’s team talks a lot with each other about what is going to happen to Damali on her 21st birthday, but they won’t talk to her about it at all. In fact, only the two senior members of her team are “in the know” and have to explain it to the rest of the Guardians. Their reason for keeping the secret is that Damali has to make her own choices, but I don’t understand why they won’t tell her about the decision she is facing or the possible outcomes - she still has to make her own choices either way. I also didn’t understand why the secret was kept from the rest of the group for the many years they’ve been working together like family. I found this frustrating throughout the book.

Aside from that, my other criticisms are style related rather than content. I’m not a big fan of reading slang. I find it halts the flow of a story for me, and there is a lot of it in this series. I’m also not a big fan of how the author identifies the criminal vampire element together by ONLY nationality: Jamaicans, Dominicans, Russians, Italians, etc. They are highly stereotyped by their ethnicity and it made me uncomfortable. What is especially strange is that the series takes place in Los Angeles and New Orleans, but none of the criminals are American. How is that possible?

I’m going to continue on with the next book in the series. I have high hopes that the parts of the story that interest me will overshadow the parts that I’m finding frustrating. Perhaps the third book will be the charm.

DON'T READ THESE BOOKS!
I rarely start a series and don't finish it, but there is no way I am reading the next 8 books in this series. Here's why:
1. Poorly written- I have rarely, if ever, read a published author so bereft of the basic skills needed to describe a scene to a reader. Half the time I had no idea what was going on. I'm not exaggerating here.
2. Weak characterization- she jumps right into the middle of a team of vampire/demon hunters and only gives a basic description of each team members physical characteristics (once, at the beginning of the book) and hardly any description of their personalities. This comes out a little bit as the book progresses- like I know that Rider is the one that likes to run off his mouth and complain. I found myself not caring about any of them- not even Momma Marlene!
3. From what I hear, the cardinal rule for every writer is : SHOW, DON'T TELL. There was so much telling going on in this book in the way of boring dialog (telling in quotations) that I found myself skimming those sections just to move on.

There are other reasons I could list, but I feel like this is plenty. If you've read this far I guess I might as well give you a few positives *SPOILER ALERT*:
1. The love tension between Carlos and Damali. I have to say, I am a complete sucker for romance in my books. She does an admiral job of building the sexual/romantic tension between these two characters. It was the only thing that kept me reading!
2. I liked her emphasis on not only the dark spiritual aspect of her world, but the fact that they were battling it with positive spiritual weapons (like prayer, worship, keeping their bodies pure, etc.). In this genre, you rarely find an author who can pass these other aspects of the spiritual realm off without sounding campy. L.A. Banks does that well and I have to sit back and appreciate it.

There's no use complaining about white writers and their version of fantasy if that's all I read, you know? So I remembered this series of books from a friend who has pretty much all of them and decided to try them out...well, to the people who took out the two copies of the first novel, let me just say I hate you for not getting them in on time. So I gave up my hopes and grabbed this book instead.

As a new reader going into the second book blind without any clue about the series, I was impressed by how quickly this book got my attention and how fast Banks got me up to speed. I very quickly gained a liking for the leads and I didn't really get confused about what was going on or how the universe worked. On the same token, I'm sure that all the exposition dumps, if I had actually read the first book, would have annoyed me. So be warned: there's a lot of CSI-like "let's talk this out even though most of us would already know what's going on". The explanations kind of make sense because a lot of secrets are being kept from a lot of people and some guardians have to be brought into the fold. But still, it stops the story in a lot of places where it could be more fluid.

Damali is an awesome heroine. It really means something when a character lives up to the hype created by other characters in her own work. And I couldn't help feeling for Carlos and her friends through out the entire ordeal. If there's a hit or miss in this book that makes the book just an enjoyable read and not phenomenal, it's the melodrama. Oh, the melodrama. Now, melodrama is not always the bad thing that people make it out to be. It's just the over dramatization of the everyday and the "mundane" emotions that go with it, plain and simple. In this book...ehhh, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

After a while, you get tired of hearing Carlos and Damali wrestle with their feelings. Is it really a choice if you were never tempted by that shit in the first place but you are now cause the guy you want to bone is into bad choices? And is it worth agonizing over that much? Do we really need to hear about sad back stories when the plot takes place over three days? How many times can the vampires talk about how much of a hot piece of ass Damali is while Carlos scowls and pines? That's really for the reader's personal tastes to decide. For me, it got a little too much and by the time the ending came, it felt rushed, like most fantasy FINAL BOSS BATTLES. But did I get invested in that melodrama? Oh hell yes. More than once, I was screaming at the book, trying to tell the characters what to do.

Umm...why is the book divided into two parts when the second part begins like 20 pages before the end of the book? Just sayin'. I didn't really get that. I do want to finish the rest of the series. I guess that's good, right? Eeehh..I don't know. Full judgement reserved for later, I suppose.

If you like seductive descriptions and forbidden vampire and human love along with kickass action, this is your hit for the day. (less)

In book 2 of the Vampire Huntress series, we learn much more about Damali, her past, Marlene's past, and some of what each of their Guardian team has been through to get where they all are today, as having become guardians and accepted the gifts given to them from On High.

We also learn more about what Damali will turn into once she reaches full-huntress Neteru capacity, and just what responsibility she has in the fight of light vs. dark - what the planets alignments each mean, and just how very important she is, being the first female Neteru in three thousand years, as well as the first ever Neteru born to span two milleniums.

Carlos is playing a very dangerous game, more dangerous than he imagined. By becoming a Master, and a triple agent - working for the Vampire Council, Nuit, the FBI/Police...and even possibly the Knights of Templar - things are stacking up very quickly against him, and he is being surrounded on all sides. But it becomes very clear that even before he was turned, he was already marked for Guardianship, and is Damali's soul mate, in every way, including as a Neteru. That means his choice determines whether he is damned or saved, and if Damali cannot hold vigilant against his telepathic pull, if she goes to him in his present condition, and conceives a daywalker, then the world as they know it changes forever.

The concert was a completely success for the side of light, they smash the darkness completely and ruin all the plans that Nuit has been putting into place for years. I couldn't help but be completely excited about that! But two Master's having to fight to the death against each other for the privilege to become Damali's mate? Woah! And what a bloody battle it was.

Damali has tried so long, for years, to get Carlos to choose and accept the path of light, but he keeps thinking he is already a damned soul, and is beyond redemption - but he is wrong. The Knights of Templar have tempted him to choose correctly, informing him that his many previous good works for others and decisions have been bounded together in his favor from On High, which is giving Heaven a very big decision of their own to make - whether to accept his repentance (if he chooses that), and allow his soul to be redeemed. They have not forgotten his past good works, no matter how bad he has become. The Knights of Templar have helped him as much as they can, to protect him and allow him opportunities to choose the side of light, and help Damali against dark with information he has managed to collect while being a triple agent, even while he is a Master. That is huge, and I can only hope that in book 3, we will find out if he survived the tunnel fights, and if so, finally know what his choice is, and find out whether him and Damali mate and make a new guardian for light or a daywalker for dark.

This series is absolutely fantastic, and I can't wait to read more!(less)

I'm glad I hung onto Minion because The Awakening picked up right where that left off, and I had to reread certain portions of that first book to reacquaint myself with some of the things that went down already. I don't think the author did a very good job of allowing this book to stand on it's own. Granted, series such as this are meant to be read in order anyway, but like Laurell K. Hamilton does in her Anita books, if she needs to refer to an incident from a previous book, she'll usually provide enough additional detail so that new readers can continue reading, albeit with a little less knowledge and detail than someone who's been reading the series in order. This was not the case here; if you didn't read the previous book, and remember all of it's little nuances, you're going to need to before starting on this one. As it stands, I still had to refer back to things from book one since I'd read it 8 months prior to this one.

The story line is still interesting enough to hold interest, and because Banks doesn't go into detail on each of the main characters in this book like she did in Minion, we don't have as many passages that drag on too long like in the first book, though they're certainly not gone completely. At times while reading, I felt that maybe the writing was done in discrete parts, not necessarily in sequence, since sometimes the scenes didn't seem to blend transparently as they could've. Like maybe she'd forgotten she wrote something in an earlier scene, and then describes or talks about it again in a later scene, which may or may not completely jive with what was stated previously. Again, I noticed this behavior much more prominently in the first book than this one.

I won't go into a synopsis of the story itself, since you can read that at the BookCrossing journal page for this book. But suffice to say, this series looks like it's going to get even better going forward.(less)

All of the characters, while more 1 dimensional in the 1st book, really come alive in this one.
