Helpful Score: 3
Minion is an interesting tale. Damali Richards is a Spoken Word artist and the top act for Warriors of Light Records. However, when darkness falls, she hunts vampires and demons-predators. A group of rogue vampires has been killing the artists of Warriors of Light and their rival, Blood Music. Damali and her Guardian team grow weary of these strange killings that are nothing like any vampire kill they have ever seen.
I enjoyed this novel overall, but when I first began reading I was quite skeptical. The dialogue uses heavy hip-hop slang. There is nothing wrong with this, but I feel that it was over used. It appeared that the author was trying entirely too hard to sound young and hip, but ended up sometimes sounding ignorant and silly. However, when you get past the vernacular the story line is quite unique. Damali is not you average slayer, she is a Vampire Huntress by birth rite. She is ripening; her body is going through extraordinary changes. When she turns age 21 she will be fully transformed into a superhuman that emits an aphrodisiac like scent that drives male vampires insane. She will see in the dark and have all the heightened senses of a vampire. She has a sword named Madame Isis. How cool is that? This first book merely sets the foundation for a great series. Its a lot information giving and as the plot thickens near the end of the novel you are drawn in like moths to a flame or like necks to a fang :) It wasnt the greatest read, but it was fun and interesting enough for me to want to read the rest of the series.
