Product Description
A battle is brewing in the underworld, and at the center of it all is Damali Richards, spoken word artist and vampire huntress. But she is not just any huntress; she is the millennium Neteru, a woman so powerful that the vampire world is about to start a war-one that threatens to spread onto her streets-in order to possess her...
Fallon Nuit, a rogue vampire who is one of the most powerful Damali has ever encountered, has allied himself with the deadly Amanthra demons in order to claim her. But the Vampire Council has plans for her as well. And now an unlikely variable has entered the equation: an ex-lover turned master vampire with an agenda of his own. Damali must risk trusting him once more if they are to survive.

Good entertainment value...

I read this book directly after reading the previous book, Minion, as the last book left off halfway during the story & this book finishes the storyline.
The night of Damali's awakening is swiftly approaching, yet she's still relatively unaware of everything that's going on. Carlos has been making several deals in an attempt to not only save Damali's virtue, but also his own life (such as it is). Meanwhile, her team is still shaken by the idea of a new race of vamps unlike any they've ever met.
The story is still improving & despite a few flaws (and they are small ones), the book flows nicely & is easy to read. Some may argue that the books aren't very deep, & they would be right for the most part. Still, the books were never written to be the next Wuthering Heights, they were written to be entertaining, and they succeed.

More Blade than Buffy.
Or, the Vampire Huntress series is a lot less whitebread than the overwhelming majority of the other 'headless chick and arse' book cover type series.
Not as good as the first book, however.
This revolves around the fact that the 'chosen one' Neteru has a vampire 'ponn farr' every seven years, where, if she gets pregnant to the right father she can produce either another nifty powerful vampire hunter, or a daywalker vampire (speaking of Blade).
Her hunter-group friends and their Knights Templar with Ninjas cannon fodder assistants prefer the former, to the latter.
Her vampire master gangster ex-boyfriend and Vampire Council, and a large number of denizens of Hell have other ideas.
Discussions of wandering around through the levels of hell are one of the amusing bits of this book, certainly.

so far i'm half way through the series and i'm still hooked on Damali and her crew. The missions are getting more and more complicated. Rivera and Damali's love story is another thing that keeps me hooked. i love nothing more than a good romance to cushion this book of damnation.
