High Praise for 'The Shadows'

The Guardian team is on the move again, doing what they do best. Only this time, the game has changed and expanded to include one particular bad guy that fans of the series have been whispering and wondering about. There's a little more at stake this time: the team itself is expanding and about to produce new fruit, while a beloved member of the Guardian team is lost. He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named is hard at work creating chaos with Lilith and the rest of the Vampire Council. The action scenes are off the chain, as usual. What else can you expect with the Armageddon at hand? More seals are broken and all hell is breaking loose--literally. I'm being deliberately vague. Nothing I say here even compares to the breath-holding, page-turning drama that unfolds in this book. Mama Banks outdoes herself yet again in this prequel to the last book in the series. I'll be sorry to see it end, but know that there's more in store for this fantastic author and ALL of her work.

Yes, The Shadows ended too soon. The action was just starting! I'm really sad to see the VHL come to an end with the next book. I collect a lot of dark fantasy books and this is the best series I have come across so far. I like the idea of the multiple pregnancies and a possible new guardian team forming through the children. With all the steamy sex it was bound to happen sooner or later. Keep up the good work LA Banks.

L.A. Banks rocks!!!!

L.A. Banks has by far strected your imagination in this latest installment. This book has more twists than you could ever want. I will miss this series when it ends... Can't wait for the final chapters!!!

Book 11 is another Hit I cannot wait to read book 12

Book 11 adds another layer to the hit Vampire Huntress series. This Chapter bring us one step closer to final battle between the forces of Light and Darkness. The Dark side is out for blood and they are holding nothing back as they seek revenge on Damali and Carlos and all the forces of Good. Heavy losses will mount on both sides but who will come out with the upper hand as Armageddon approaches. This book is a must read and great addition to any VHL series fan collection. Also a great read for the casual reader. ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!

Book 11 is just as Powerful and Explosive as its predecessor!

This book was so good that I just don't know where to begin. *sigh* So, I guess I'll start at the beginning and try not to give away any spoilers. The Shadows is the 11th book in the 12-book Vampire Huntress Legend (VHL) Series written by L.A. Banks. The Dark Realms are hiding out after the angels from On High put them in their place; however, don't count them out yet! The fourth Biblical seal has been broken and the team doesn't know it, but the Anti-Christ isn't dead. He's recovering under the watchful eye of Lilith and the one who shall remain nameless. The Darkness leaders are still recovering from their wounds, but in due time they will heal and one will seek revenge. Their deceit and treachery will lead to the resurrection of one of the most infamous vampires of all time. Yonnie and Val are now a part of the Neteru team. With their special powers, it is hard to keep anything from these two...which is why they will soon discover a hidden secret that the Neteru's are keeping from the Guardian Team. However, their powers will come in handy in the next battle. Yes, the one who shall remain nameless is still fuming over his latest defeat and is out for revenge. He's planning to bring the battle topside, unleashing a full-frontal assault on mankind for the offenses committed by the Vampire Huntress team. This time, Damali and Carlos must address serious human casualties and collateral damage...all while Nuit rebuilds Blood Music to become a record label that will unleash media brainwashing on everyone that hears or watches anything by them. Will the Guardian Team be victorious in the end? The Shadows is a must read for all VHL Fans. This book is good from the beginning to the end! I'm already crying because this is book 11 in a 12-book series. The Shadows was a real rollercoaster ride! It had me high and giddy at times, only to bring me down and then take me up again. This book had me going so bad that I was talking to the characters in this book as if they were real people. Also, Carlos really impressed me when he went into battle to protect his own. I got an adrenaline rush just reading about the battle. The battle scene was described so vividly that I honestly thought that I was there viewing it! The only thing that I didn't like about the book was that it ended. Believe me when I say that T he Shadows truly deserves 5 stars and is a must read! Reviewed by LaShonda Bates for Urban Reviews
