Minion by L. A. Banks

Rating:   PENS!!!!

No Ordinary Vampires

Minion is the first in a three book series. In this book we are introduced to Damali Richards, a spoken word artist, and her guardians. Damali is nearing her 21st birthday and about to come into her full powers as the Vampire Huntress. She is about to have power beyond her wildest beliefs and it is up to the guardians to teach her everything she needs to know to handle this ripening.
 
They have battled many vampires in the past, but now there is something different. The vampires are not just leaving the common marks, the two puncture wounds on the neck - they are mutilating their victims. Something strange is going on and they have to find out what while keeping Damali safe.
 
The Vampire Council has captured the one person who can get close to Damali. The problem they have is that Carlos loves her. Will he be of help or hindrance to the council?
 
With the hip-hop music world as the backdrop of the story, L.A. Banks does a wonderful job in creating parallel worlds. Minion is filled with action, horror and eroticism. I found the beginning to be a bit confusing because of all of the information and characters introduced at once, but there was no way around that. I quickly caught up and was able to enjoy the ride. I am looking forward to 'Awakening' the next book in the series.
