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 invade her own turf, the streets—in order to possess her.
Fallon Nuit, a rogue vampire—indeed, 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 Fallon as well. And now an unlikely variable has entered the equation: an ex-lover-turned-vampire with an agenda of his own. . . . Damali must risk trusting him once more if they are to survive.
Reviews
Praise for The Awakening
"I highly recommend L. A. Banks' Vampire Huntress Series for use in courses ranging from high school to college. I have used this series as recommended reading for my graduate students in Women's Studies and they cannot stop talking about these works. Banks' writing is smart, poignant, and engaging. Students aren't able to put the books down. Each novel in the series brims with social critique and commentary. Banks is a perceptive writer who provides a wonderful critique of societal issues, from the impact of drugs to self-responsibility and self-reliance to the choices we all make in life. Students who engage in the work of L. A. Banks will leave the classroom with sharper critical thinking skills and a newfound joy of reading."—Gwendolyn D. Pough, Associate Professor of Women's Studies and Writing, Syracuse University, and author of Check It While I Wreck It: Black Womanhood, Hip-Hop Culture, and the Public Sphere
"Banks solidifies her intriguing, dark series as a project worth watching, and readers will be pleased to learn another installment is on the way."—Kristine Huntley, Booklist
