I have to say I definitely liked this better than the first two in this series. And after reading the teaser for The Bitten at the end, I'm anxiously looking forward to that one now too.
Granted like the first two, the writing style got to me at times. Were it not for the fact that the characters tend to say a lot of useless and unimportant stuff, I might've gotten lost in the dialogue sometimes, partially because of the dialect they use... is it called hip hop or black, I'm not sure... and also because Damali sometimes seems to go on and on in her head about nothing at all. Fortunately, any time this happened, it wasn't detrimental to understanding what was going on.
In this book, Carlos is able to fight his ever-strengthening vampire nature because of his love for Damali, and has become a valuable resource to the Guardian team. I'm glad to see his place is secured in future books.

A Neteru- a hunter or huntress- is born every thousand years to lead the Warriors of Light as they fight against the Dark Realms. Damali Richards is the millenium Neteru, the one who will play a pivotal role in the Final War. The Warriors of LIght have been waiting for her and the Dark Realms will do anything to possess or destroy her. What they do not take into account is the man who will love her. Damali has been to Hell and back-literally-and she is not eager to repeat the trip. A Vampire civil war has been averted, but there were casualties, and she believes that Carlos Rivera, her former lover turned master vampire, is one of them. His death has not only shaken her emotions, but has weakened her powers as well. Then Damali gets word of horrific killings in Brazil. The vampire civil war left a small door to Hell open, and new and dangerous foes have risen for the Dark Realms. The leader, a deadly female, is set on a path of destruction, but her blood lust hides a nefarious plan, and the resurrected Carlos Rivera is at the heart of it. However, Damali is not about ot lose her man a second time, so she plans to send this old girl right back to the hell she came from- no matter who stands in her way.
DO NOT TRY TO READ THIS UNTIL YOU READ THE BEGINNING OF THE SERIES, YOU WILL GET LOST AND NOT UNDERSTAND. FIRST BOOK WOULD BE MINION, THEN THE AWAKENING, AND THEY GO ON FROM THERE. SO FAR I HAVE READ THE FIRST 5 IN THE SERIES, THEY ARE A VERY GOOD READ IF YOU LIKE A CONTINUING SAGA...

Vampires had a vibe, and right now it was thick. She could feel them on her skin, making her flesh crawl beneath it. Oh yeah. Tonight it was on!!!!

A Vampire Huntress novel. Present day story with characters pulled from the streets of the hood and bario. A vampire civil was has cost the huntress her powers and her past love. Carlos Rivera. Still, Damali can't let her grief stand in the way. Several killings in South America have the look of being done by something not human. Unknown to Damali, the life of Master Vampire Carlos Rivera has been saved by an unlikely group of monks also dedicated to fighting the Dark Realm. In exchange they want Rivera to stop the inhuman murders in Brazil and they will use Damali as bait if they have to.
