EDGE-OF-YOUR -SEAT THRILLER!!!

The sexy and dangerous Carlos Rivera is back in this vampiric thriller--and stronger than ever. Now a council level vamp, he is summoned to Hell to address an immediate crisis; one of the topside master vamps has stolen one of the seven keys--the living blood of Christ. Coupled with the sixth seal, Armageddon begins--as foretold in the book of Revelations--and the one who possesses them both can decide the outcome of the final conflict. Council wants possession of the key--after all, ultimate power of the Dark should belong to them. And of course, the Light wants the key also--to ward off the final conflict and to swing the balance of power back to the Light. Worse yet, Rivera's love Damali--also a Neteru, the vampire huntress--has possibly received one bite too many from her dark lover and is now dropping fang. Carlos promises Council that he will find the key for them...and of course, deliver the esteemed "package," Damali. To do so, Rivera must best all four very old, topside master vamps. He has also bargained with the Light to assist them in finding the same. But Rivera's love for Damali may be his undoing...transcends Heaven and Hell....and rather than risk her life and soul, he would rather deliver the world to the Dark side..... With plenty of action, politics, and sultry drama, L.A. Banks delivers another winner as the saga continues...the struggle between good and evil, Light and Dark...and all readers will be rooting for the love between Damali and Carlos to prevail above all.

Baby girl has done it again!

Regardless of the sometimes belief stretching antics of vampires, Banks has done it again! But you can't say that she hasn't taken the vampire lore and made it her own. What I love about this series is how it is truly set in a world of good vs. evil as opposed to the usual snarky, witty dialogue and action of other vampire series'. Damali Richards is the new, badder and black Buffy, Carlos Rivera is the new, sexier and more powerful Angel, whilst the Guardians and the Covenant are a badder Scooby Gang. The Bitten started off with a bang, twisting our conceptions about Damali's role in the big game, as well as Carlos' role. The group fractured and split, but in the end, became a stronger, more loyal team. Banks ups the ante on the mythology, action and the sex in this book, and doesn't hold back on the religion part of it--which I appreciate. And standing in the middle of everything in this series is one thing: Love. Banks uses this powerful emotion as the salvation for this world, and I love it. If there is one series that is a must read for any vampire fiction lover, L.A. Banks' Vampire Huntress series is it.

The Hunted

This is a great urban vampire huntress series. I started with the 3rd book and was hooked. The writing gave me background on the characters..I didn't feel as if I had missed something by not starting from the begining. Theres romance, sex, lust, the battle between good and evil. I highly reccomend it

Deadly oblivion

L.A. Banks has taken THE BITTEN, the fourth book in the Vampire Huntress series, to another level. A vampire civil war was averted, but a master vampire stole one of the keys - the living blood of Christ which opened one of the gates of Hell, causing a fluctuation in the balance between Light and Dark, affecting Damali Richards, the vampire huntress. The added horror is that the stolen key can be used to open the sixth seal as foretold in the book of Revelations. This would unlock all of the gates of Hell; the sun would turn to ashes, and the universe would be in perpetual darkness. The need for a day walker from the union between the vampire huntress and a master vampire would no longer exist. The owner of the key and the seal could decide the outcome of the Final War, `the Armageddon'. Damali and Carlos Rivera, the Council-level master vampire, are ready to pursue the contradiction of kinetic emotions that flows between them. Since reaching her twenty-first birthday, Damali is immune to attacks of vampirism, but that was before the key was stolen. Carlos is shocked when in the throes of passion, Damali unleashes the fangs of a master vampire and feeds from him. A tormented Carlos knows something major has gone wrong. His Damali, the vampire huntress, is turning. Damali and Carlos' lives become an oxymoron; she travels the world of darkness as a vampire, and Carlos crosses prayer lines to plead for her safety. Their love creates a situation which could prove to be as ill-timed and as deadly as the stolen key. Desperate to find the key, Carlos masterminds a plan to prevent further disaster. He elicits the help of Damali's team, and begins his mission, but at what cost? A confrontation in Hell with the vampire Council, Damali's death, or his own destruction? Theory and real world circumstance always produce different results. L.A. Banks has crested another realm to her writing, as she unleashes a battle, between the topside master vampires, so intense it alters the stasis between good versus evil. With the skill of a veteran, Ms. Banks takes this horrific storyline and evolves it into a classic love story without losing the power or the intrigue of the world of darkness. In awe at the depth of this story, and the intensity with which Ms. Banks approaches this series, I anxiously await book five. THE BITTEN is not for the faint of spirit; it will cater to those who love to embrace the forbidden. At one point I was tempted to lower my collar and offer my neck. Kudos to L.A. Banks for another masterful link in this arduous chain. Outstanding! Reviewed by aNN of The RAWSISTAZ™ Reviewers

"Bad Sista comin thru!"

This is the best out of the Vampire Huntress Legend series so far. Damali proves that she is a force not to be played with in this book. This book picks up where the last book, "The Hunted" left off, with Damali and Carlos on vacation for 30 days. But Carlos soon discovers that something is wrong with Damali and brings her home early. Once her family discovers what's wrong with her, their first instict is to try and kill Carlos. Once cooler heads prevail they have to work with the priests to find a way to restore the Neteru to her former state. Meanwhile, Carlos goes to hell and discovers that an important key has been stolen. This key is one of seven and the most important of them all. If it is ever reunited with it's matching seal it can bring about an armagadeon that is fortold in Revelations. It will vanish the sun and allow vampires to walk in the day. The key was discovered by scientist who were playing with forces they knew nothing about. Well, one of the last 4 master vampires left found out about their discovery and crossed Carlos' territory boarders in order to steal the key, which was hidden somewhere in Carlos' territory. So, Carlos has to once again tap dance for the council to get them to back off long enough to find out which master vampire stole the key, recover it, figure out a way to protect his precious Neteru, and save the world. I loved this book! Chapter 17 will get your head sprung! It was a great read and as usual, L.A. Banks gives us a look into the next book in this series, which is titled "The Forbidden".
