Complete Vampire Huntress Legend Series by L.A. Banks
Damali Richards is a successful hip-hop artist by day, but come nightfall, she hunts vampires and demon-predators. Most people believe these creatures are only myth or fantasy—but Damali and her Guardian team know otherwise. Damali is the Neteru, a vampire huntress whose mission is to vanquish evil from the world. In this series of contemporary fantasy and horror, a battle is brewing, and increasingly brutal supernatural murders are happening—and only Damali can stop the evil.
Author Leslie Esdaile Banks (1959-2011) wrote the Vampire Huntress Legend series under the pen name L.A. Banks. In her career, she wrote more than 40 novels in various genres, including African-American literature, romance, women’s fiction, crime suspense, dark fantasy/horror and non-fiction. She won several literary awards, including the 2008 Essence Literary Awards Storyteller of the Year.
Ms. Banks once recounted one of her early influences—and the impact it had on her:
“I’ll never forget going into movies to see Night of the Living Dead with my cousins. This was the one movie to have a Brother in a heroic role. And he was tearing it up! All the way to the end! And at the last minute, they shot him—30 seconds out at the end of the flick and threw his body on the pile. I was traumatized. I was like, ‘When I grow up, I’m going to write something and this will not happen. My guys are gonna make it.’
