Book Description:
There is one woman who is all that stands between us and the eternal night.
Here is an account of her legend....
All Damali Richards ever wanted to do was create music and bring it to the people. Now she is a Spoken Word artist and the top act for Warriors of Light Records. But come nightfall, she hunts vampires and demons—predators that people tend to dismiss as myth or fantasy. But Damali and her Guardian team cannot afford such delusions, especially now, when a group of rogue vampires have been killing the artists of Warriors of Light and their rival, Blood Music. Strange attacks have also erupted within the club drug-trafficking network and drawn the attention of the police. These killings are a bit out of the ordinary, even for vampires. No neat puncture marks in the neck to show where the life's blood has been sucked from the body. These bodies have been mutilated beyond recognition, indicating a blood lust and thirst for destruction that surpasses any Damali has encountered before. Damali soon discovers that behind these brutal murders is the most powerful vampire she has ever met, and this seductive beast is coming for her next. But his unholy intentions have also drawn the focus of other hellish dark forces. Soon Damali finds herself being pulled deeper into the vast and horrifying vampire world.

It took me awhile to finish this. It has everything...except a decent plot. The cliches are fast and furious, with a molten lava lake, circles of hell, hybrid vampires, a sassy vampire slayer, and her forbidden love interest. It shamelessly rips off other vampire novels and Buffy. The writing is atrocious. There are glimpses of the U of Penn educated writer, i.e. her uneducated young huntress using terms like "carte blanche," and then the "from da hood" writing comes out, with silly conjugations such as, "Ima," as in, "Ima gonna kick some ass." I found the writing painful. It's not hip, it is ridiculous. The black and white characters change speech patterns as easily as clothes; I'm not sure who was a brother and who was a poseur. But then again, I don't care. This novel is dreadfully bad, both in plot and writing. I'd rather have my throat ripped out than read this author's work again, which is unfortunate, as I stupidly got the second in the series before reading the first. Do I dare read the second book, hoping it's better than the first? Probably not.

I love vamp books but this one wasn't for me ~ I couldn't get into it at all. I found the characters uinlikeable. I understand that she has a big following but there are better vamp series out there.

This is the South Central version of Vampire Hunting. If you are not used to the slang of the area, this book is going to be a little hard to get through. The idea is really good. I like the fact that their are Guardians to protect the slayer while she matures to a full Hunter, but I just can't get into the ugliness of the vampires. I guess I am spoiled on the romantic version of LKH's Anita Blake series. If I had read this series, first, I would probably have enjoyed it more.

I found this series while waiting for the next Anita Blake novel to come out. This copy is an extra I came across, but I'm still trying to read my copy. I am having trouble getting into it. So far, I just haven't been able to connect with the characters - too far apart culturally, I guess - but I haven't given up yet.

Damali Richards is the slayer or Neteru. with her are Guardians of the Neteru who also moonlight as her band for Damali’s spoken word performances. These people all live together, perform as a band, and hunt vampires at night.
There have been strange attacks on gang members. Instead of the typical vampire bites, the corpses are left mutilated beyond recognition. One of the most powerful master vampires, Fallon Nuit is behind these attacks. Now Nuit has set his sights on Damali. Now in order to defeat him she must find out what her past connection is to him.

A little bit of a slow start, but once the end came around I was hooked! Some cliches, but if you know that going in it might not be so bad.

A good read for those who like vampire stories. It's also the start of a series, so the finish leaves some loose ends.

Not my cup of tea but I can see why some like it

Hard to get into-never could develop any interest in the characters. Hamilton's Anita Blake books, or Kim Harrison's Rachel Morgan books are much better.

I couldn't get past the first few pages of this book. Not really sure why, but I never even felt the pressure to read it simply because I spent money on it. It just didn't grab me at all.

I have only read the first two chapters and cant go any further. It is a very hard book to get into. I was hoping that if I put it aside and picked it up at a future date, that I would have better luck.
This book was all over the place. Oh so hard to read, not even a decent plot. Very disappointing!
(I travel a lot, so there may be a short delay in shipping books.)
